I agree!

My personal trainer keeps getting me to commit to being "on track" more than 85% of the time.

Shrimp, chicken breast, tofu. You should really limit beef and pork.

Gail update your ticker I want to see your successes! if you don't remember how I can help.

What time is your appointment on Wed?

I did not get an appetite back until 2 days post surg. But I was thinking I wanted all these incredible no-no foods, but when it came time to cook or fix something I opted for Jello and Soup and cream of wheat.

Hmmmmmm......You know..... Maybe I bounced back so quickly because I was not banded and restricted to what I could eat.

Even though I did not have an appetite that has NEVER stopped me from eating. Intersting concept.

Oh! I was also doing the shakes post op too! Because I did not know what the next step was or if I could or could not and was just keeping my options open. When the shakes are an option they are like REEAALLY good chocolate milk! LOL

I have not heard anything from him.

Had to be at surg ctr @130, thinking his surg was @3pm maybe he is hanging out with his mom a bit or just coming home and getting re acclimated with his favorite chair before he writes.

Hmmmmm Men!

Hey guys,

I am back home and doing pretty good. GAS pains are pretty bad, but they come and go. The port is tender too. I tried to post from the SC but I could not get a good enough signal. Oh well

Thanks for all the good thoughts

Chris

Congratulations Chris! I am glad to hear that everything went well! Take it easy and take care of yourself.

Hey guys a word of advice. Don't work out to hard to soon after surgery. I am back on the couch with a heating pad and liquid tylenol. Take it easy!

Dr Mock was my anesthesiologist. He is awsome!! He was a specila request. My Mom LOVES the way his paitents come out of surgery.

Just had a little bit of babyfood applesauce, was pretty nice

Gas X strips work incredibly.

Were you nauseated coming out of anesthesia? How long after you were banded did you wake up?

Being the first thing you ate since bariatrix, tell me how delicious is applesauce;probably the best applesauce you ever tasted right?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
