Yayyyyyy Great job Don! I'm actually all excited for this weekend because someone is handing down clothes to me. What a big help it will be. So glad you could use the clothes and if he cleans more of his closet I'll keep you in mind!

I could be wrong here but does it not feel great to be a XL. My self I went from a 3x to a XL went from a 48 pants to 40 right now and their getting baggy but not ready for 38 just yet.

Great job so far keep it going

not much Protein Shake in the morning then a reduced fat cheese stick for a snack sometimes a 1/2 cup of chili for lunch (my fav) for dinner i put 4oz of food on my plate usually a little meat but never finish it i eat hard boiled eggs also sometimes for Breakfast im not hungry so eating is hard for me only getting probably 300-400 calories a day normally im so afraid of stretching my pouch and can not do pork or tortilla pita pockets i tried that with some sandwich meat didn't work.. I was told the first year not to worry about calorie intake so im not i take my Vitamins daily i will say i look at labels all the time and make sure what i eat is low in fat and has Protein in it ..

      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
