Recommended Posts

Im so excited.

Hi all, Just want to say thanks to all here on this forum. I finally made it to Onderland and not without you guys helping me.

Some of you may already be familiar with me, because I'm the President and CEO of the slow losers club.

And guys, i had to rethink my position. lol

So, i finally got the break I was looking for. I did the 5 day pouch test that was originally designed for gastric bypass patients. I was out of control with you guess it slider foods like that darn, popcorn. It work to get you back to basics and that it did.

Happy dance here! No more popcorn for me after following the program And as an added benefit i lost down 5 pounds. Yay

Thank you, because we share more in way of encouraging each on this Journey than sometimes with others.

Awesome! We are sleeve sisters, we had our surgery on the same day we are about the same age, and our stats are so close! I screamed a couple days ago when mine said 199, I love the weight loss and the compliments, but I am soooo fatigued. Going to get my blood drawn to see what my Iron levels are. How is your energy level?

Hay Jacee sleeve sis. Well congrats on your Onderland too!

So, yes I suddenly feel really tired. Had to take lots of things like B12 and herbal things for energy thinking about getting labs drawn too. You reminded me to do that this week.

What are you doing for energy? I know my Vitamin D was low. Didn't finish my prescription but will work on that this week.

I am taking sublingual vit b and d however I have always been anemic, and this surgery has not made it any better in fact worse. I bought some Iron to add to my Water, but I just got it (walgreens) Getting my blood drawn to check anemia because last time had it checked it was so low they asked me how I had the energy to get out of bed in the morning, but I really felt fine at that time. Now, I am just dragging, I feel like that is the problem..

      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.
