Am new to the group but glad I found it! I am 6-days out of surgery and am enjoying the journey. I was hospitalized for a few days after my initial release from the hospital because of pain. Now the gas that I have is so unbearable that I can't move at times! Does this go away?? I am a day away from finishing the all liquid portion of the diet and am a bit terrified of what's to come.

Did you have surgery on 7.19.12 ? I did lol . I too am having gas pain (crying to breathe sometimes) still. It has gotten a lot better by me taking gasx chewables and walking as much as possible . I get tired easily so long distances are a joke . Took me 1 hour to pick up a few items in Walmart !

I start full liquids tomorrow (im excited) so I went and bought some cream of broccoli and chicken like stuff . I also bought almond milk and yahoo Togo packets (no sugar, 5 calories) !

Welcome to the group ! Everyone here is nice !

We will have to keep each other updated on how we're doing. If you need support in here for you!! I'm sure I will need it too! 16 pounds is awesome!! I'm kinda curious to see where I bottom out. I was 205 when I played college ball with 5% body fat but I was HUGE!! I worked out with 305 lbs but am only 5 foot 8. I still lift but don't do much power lifting anymore.

Gonna be a great journey!

      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
