Hello everyone!

Yesterday's was my 4 months post-op, initial WT 270lbs HT 5' 6", today's WT 187lbs so far ha lost 83lbs, can't wait to hit my ideal wt of 140lbs off-course if my body decides to get there lol. I will take 160lbs but I would like a wt that will allow me to go up and down a bit and not to worry about and I think 140lbs is the perfect goal for it!

Hello ShrinkingDEE,

Well my wls journey has been "so far" great (knock on wood). I really can't complaint, no complications at all. I been following all the instructions - bible!! The ONLY thing is that 3wks ago I started to loss my hair which it's was to expect and there's nothing we (wls pts) can do to prevent it other than PRAYERS & follow the MD orders! So I been concentrating on my Protein intake (food wise/not shakes) and keeping myself well hydrated and hoping for the best. The good thing is that I have very thick hair and that is a PLUS in this situation.

Yeah RayBan glasses rock! :)

I started losing my hair too. It has slowed down a whole lot. I have a lot of hair too. You can only tell that it's coming out when I comb it. Thank God.

      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
