Thanks for asking, Jess! I would love to hear how everyone is doing and what is "normal" at this point. I am a month post-op and feeling good. I have lost 20 pounds and can cross my legs, move easier and am looking forward to exercising more than just walking. The only problem I have had is that occasionally I start hiccoughing and then vomit. I guess it is from eating too fast. How about you all?

I too would like to hear how everyone is doing. I'm almost 2 months post-op. I have lost 37 lbs and feel great. I have more energy and I don't get winded easily. I'm getting worried about the hair lost.....hasn't happed yet but from what I understand it starts around the 3rd month. What is everyone eating and how much? I’m worried that I might slowly start to stretch my stomach. I try to get in 70 grams of Protein a day and most days its a success. I too have had the hiccups, starting the day after surgery, but they have gotten fewer and fewer. Crossing my legs is a good feeling….thanks for reminding me Marilyn! Hope everyone else is doing great and if you have any food ideas or tips please pass them along. One thing I have been doing for lunch is making chicken salad, I use canned chicken and instead of mayo I have been using Oiko’s Greek Yogurt. Then I add a little bit of powder ranch mix. I love the Oiko’s Greek Yogurt because it not as tart and it is loaded with protein. Good Luck to everyone!

      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
