I had my sleeve done a week ago today, and I didn't want to weigh myself because I hear weighing yourself every day just makes you crazy, butttttt I went to see my aunt at the doctor's office she works at and I couldn't resist. IM DOWN 16 POUNDS!!!! HOLY MOLY! I'm so happy, and glad that all this is already paying off. I feel great. I haven't had any nausea, I've been getting my 64oz of Water in, yes, I'm over the liquid diet, but I have my post op appointment on Thursday. Something to look forward to. I just wanted to share my joy with everyone today, and hope you guys are having an amazing Monday! :)

Congrats! I know what you mean. ..I can see the weight loss in my legs, face, and in my shoulders. . I carried a lot of my weight in my stomach. However, what I do see makes me feel more human... in fact since surgery and the weight loss, I feel like I am more accepted out in public, which makes me so happy!

Congrats on your surgery! I know what mean about chewing on something. I am able to get soft foods down, but only a small bite. .I feel my stomach digest and it bugs me. My husband still has a hard time understanding that I can only eat extra small amounts, but remains my biggest supporter. It is still a learning experience, but I wouldn't change a thing. I wish you the best of luck! I know you will feel so good and so happy! :-)

      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
