Not bad! I'm deff sick if Protein shakes already though. Can't stand them. Still a little sore at the main incision site but only if I really laugh or try and lay on my right side. Which sucks since I'm a side/belly sleeper. lol.

Not sure how much if any I have lost post op and I'm not gonna check till I go for my two week at the Dr office. My plan is to not look at the scale unless I'm there. Hopefully I can stick to that.

I drink Protein Shakes everyday now, and have for the past two years so I am hoping my love for them does not change post op. I am scheduled for surgery 10/10/16.

I feel the same as you about the scale. I have been ruled by it my entire adult life. Once I have surgery, I am going to give to my sister so it is out of my place. I belong to a group on FB and so many people are obsessed with the scale. The minute they don't see it move they talk about how much they regret their sleeve. I actuLly feel bad that they are so focuses on that number.

My reasons for no scale is I didn't do this for a specific number I did this to be healthy for my boys, and my self. I don't care what my end weight is as long as I'm healthier then than I am now. And now I'm healthier than I was, so I'll keep looking at it that way. I'm gonna focus on eating "drinking right now" right and getting back into shape. The number will take care of itself.

      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.
