Finding myself becoming more and more depressed I haven't lost any weight since my doctors appointment on the 14th. I am trying to do my best with the diet. I know I'm nt taking in the proper Water but I'm getting better. So far the only thing that makes me sick is whey protien shakes. Go figure the one thing I need my pouch don't like, and. I broke down and ate a oatmeal raisin cookie and nothing happen. I don't know I just feel like I'm not going to succeed with anything. In guess I just need a pick me up or something to keep me on track. I live in the middle of no where and have really nothing to do :( woe is me:(

Are you walking? I've heard that just because you're not losing lbs doesn't mean your not losing inches. Sometimes the weight redistributes itzelf for optimal weight loss. Hang in there and dont give up! Its only been a little over 2 weeks...my surgery is tomorrow morning at 7 a.m....we can do this together :)....

Thank you...i cant sleep because of the anxiety. We'll motivate each other. I'll contact u tomorrow if the hospital has wifi

The bariatric center that I'm going through has you c a physical therapist that shows you all of thee neat exercises that can be done immediately after surgery. I've been doing them for the past two weeks and i dont know if I've lost any weight but people have noticed that I look more tone. The say my mid section isnt as large :)...I dont own a scale because it will make me obsess a out it. Ive heard others say use a tape measure instead...r u taking pics once a week and looking at them?

Forgot to mention there are some weeks I don't loose anything and some weeks where I loose a lot making sure you get in all fluids is a big deal though so even if you have to eat a whole box of sugar free Popsicles so be it just make sure your getting your Fluid intake because not getting enough fluid will make your body retain Water and make you have water weight on!

      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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
