Bookworm I'm glad to hear your surgery went well too. To be honest I don't care about his bedside manner as long as the surgery is great. Your do in no great losing weight too. Did you feel nausea after surgery and after you got home?

I have not throw up because of any foods. sometimes I feel like I can eat too much at this point but I am not sure I try to stick to what Arianne tells me. I was doing a pure Protein Shake every morning but I am getting sick of them so I have stopped those. I find myself using the Protein Bars as subsitutes for my sweet tooth. I found out on my own a lot of the nausesness was actually gas and I felt better if I ate a Rolaid or gas ex.

Acampbell are you getting Hunger pains if you don't eat enough? How much do you have to go to reach your goal weight? I have so much to lose that hearing about these stalls make me nervous. Sorry ask so.many questions. I'm Los 46 and am wondering about the excess skin. Since the weight is coming off slower do you feel that your skin is returning back to normal?

I have 18 more to go to my original goal but when I make it there I may try to do 10 more. Overall my skin is not bad. My total goal was to lose 75lbs. No problem ask as many questions as you want, I don't mind at all.

How about your health. Did u have any Co morbidity going into the surgery that have improved. I currently have high blood pressure and sleep apnea.

Acampbell you look gteat! Seeing your pictures makes me excited to have my surgery which is August 20th.

Blessed7 let me know how the 2 weeks of liquid works out... I'm still dreading it and will take you up on contacting you for support. I guess we can't take any sort of diet pill huh. Hopefully like you said if I keep my thought on the surgery I should be able to do it.

I was wondering about Hair loss. I see it seems to happen a lot and dr say it's due to rapid weightloss. Acampbell have you had any problems with hairloss? I bought some stuff from Amazon which someone from utube who had the surgery suggested it. I'm hoping it will help.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
