Whos in September? We need some September buddies!



Recommended Posts

for great recipe ideas I look at pinterest. Love to get inspiration there. Try adding Beans in salads and almost anything you make otherwise. Lentils, kidney, chick peas. Hummus is a great snack. I also bought a bullet to make shakes and throw in ground flaxseed, Protein powder and you can get Peanut Butter powder to throw in too.

I've been pretty hungry the last couple of days. Today I've been feeling like its hard to focus on things and I hope to be starting full liquids soon. I still have pain In the right side of my stomach and I don't know why. I have a doctors apt on the 10th. I have problems drinking Water or anything I don't know why but it's very unappealing to me. I hope to recover fully and can't wait to start my new life. I've lost 35 pounds since the beginning of my liquid diet!

I was sleeved Sept 29th and went home 3 hrs after surgery. I'm healing well and the only pain I get is on my left side. Its bearable and annoying. I have lost 28lbs sine the beginning of preop. The past few days I have felt hungry, but I just try to think of the good things to come. I have until 10-20 before I can move on to pureed foods. ????

@@Jbramwell, I went through True Results with Dr. Nicholson at Baylor Surgicare. I have no pain except that pull they say we experience every now and again. I must have a high pain tolerance because as soon as I woke up they had me walking. I would say my surgery pain subsided by Wednesday of that week. I returned to work a week later. I have a desk job and my coworker was scheduled to have her surgery the day I got back. It's been really good. Today I went to the movies, and I was able to sit comfortably in the chair without raising an arm rest. It felt really really good.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
