November Dates



Recommended Posts

To everyone going to have surgery- it's not as bad as we think. I was off pain meds after 2/3 days. Today is day 4 post op for me. I feel good and don't regret it one bit. It gets hard sticking to the post op diet and I'm sometimes hungry and craving stuff but hey WE DID THIS SURGERY FOR A REASON!! Gotta stick to it. Best of luck to those still recovering!!!! Prayers for a fast healing!!!! Day 4 post op and Iv'e lost 10 pounds

Good idea karma I moved all my meds and things to the kitchen so I would have to get up and I started a journal to keep track of when to take what it is to hard to keep track of all of it unless I write it down

It gets better, walking helps get rid of the gas and promote faster healing. Just walk as much as u can or laps around ur house. Good job girl! :)

That is awesome karma I agree not as bad as it seems before I was so worried and then next thing I know I am at home feeling better I donated my scale I thought it might be more fun to see what I weight at each doctor visits.

Your so good, I weigh everyday. I can't wait till my week 2 post op. that's when I get oatmeal and yogurt. Sticking to liquids is so hard! It's the hardest part of surgery- The post op diet. time needs to fast forward. It does help me to see weight dropping plus I go on instagram and youtube and watch/see weight loss success stories/videos from WLS and GBP :)

Yeah I have been doing the google thing as well. It is weird I thought my insides would feel alot different but they don't. It is weird to think I will lose 100 +pounds in the next year.

I'm doing great! Super excited for the 26th! I was so sick yesterday and last night but I think it was a 24 hour bug. I feel much better this morning. I hope I can keep this positive attitude up all the way till they wheel me into the OR!

We might be the ones pushing to get to the front of the group photo next Christmas instead of trying to hide behind somebody..

      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.
