No. No, hanging skin just yet, but I'm still kinda thick, so I'm a little concerned about when I lose more weight...

As for now, I continue to weight lift n exercise to help minimize the lose skin.

Well honestly...

My food intake isn't that great. I still don't eat much. I still cannot eat chicken, I always end up with a chest pain and vomiting. I make myself eat Protein rich foods frequently throughout the day to meet my protein requirements. (I eat lots of nutts, eggs, soft steak, cheese, soft beef Jerky & protein bars) I snack on these foods in small portions. (1 to 2 oz.)

... And energy, well right away after surgery my energy levels increased dramatically! Around the 4 and 5 month, when the hairloss kicks in, my energy came down, but that was probably Cus I was so stressed about molding my hair! Lol. Now Im 6 months and the hair loss is decreasing by a lot! Yay! And the energy is right back up :)

Hope this helps...

      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.

      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.
