Hey Kruzer...I'm just beginning my journey I though I'd check out this app. I'm really enjoying all the info and more importantly the successes.

Yeah, I just started last month. I actually have my 2nd dietician appt next time I'm home. I work out in Williston, ND in the oilfield, so I'm only home one week a month, so it kinda makes scheduling difficult.

Oh wow....I bet.

Yesterday I had my initial physical and measurements taken by the weight management nurse practitioner. Oddly enough she and I went to nursing school together. What a relief to know someone as you embark upon such a life changing journey.

Also last evening I attended my first support group...loved it!!!!!

Started on my own last week and dropped 5 pounds already. I'm excited to meet the new me under all this weight.

I haven't found a support group up here yet, but what I've heard is that the group here at Essentia is good.

      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.
