Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm Lindsay, 21, with two beautiful boys. I started this journey weighing 363lbs, I had surgery july 24th 2013 which would put me a little over 3 weeks out. At my two week weigh in I was down 23lbs. Its good to see the scale go down for once. Im currently on the aoft and mushy foods stage two is whay they call, it but there really isnt any difference between stage one and two. But I just want to inteoduce myself and say im glad I downloaded this app and found this page.

Thanks.

Welcome Lindsay, I had surgery 2 weeks ago, and I based my decision to have the procedure after several weeks of reading posts on this site. Lots of information and new friendships.

Congratulations on the weight loss, isn't exciting to see the scale move down for once?! I found this site just after my surgery as well and thank goodness otherwise I would have been lost. The support group where I used to live just wasn't very active, most of what you need or want to know can be found on here anyway. Just always be sure and double check with either the Doc or the Nut on info you find here to be on the safe side.

      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. 🤞
