I have so much going through my head right now. I'd like to share some of them in hope for some feed back... One of things that scares me is sipping Water, I have NO problem drinking water.. But I drink it fast especially after a good work out and then the saggy skin .. I just turned 50 in July and my skin is already sagging . Ive been working out with a trainer since april and its still sagging ... however i do know that working out doesn't tighten the Skin... but it was worth a shot.. Then the happy thoughts .. I can't wait to have this new tool to help me with my weight loss Journey.. I've already lost 30 pd since I started my option classes in April and I feel soooo much better already and really looking forward to taking off 60 + more...

Good luck to everyone

Just look at sipping as just not taking huge drinks or gulps. In my first couple weeks I had to take baby drinks or sips but now at 5 weeks I can drink good amounts , I just can not gulp or drink fast like I used to. The gas pain sets in and you will stop trying to gulp....

Hello, I'm doing very well, Thank you . although I was having a hard time getting all the Protein and Water in the first few days. But the last two day I've been able to get in 60 grams of protein... Woot woot. Far as pain or bad gas none :) I'm a very happy camp. How are things with you?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
