My biggest issue is pain in the left side under ribcage and depressed over lack of food. Im trying to break out of depression by cleaning house up today and do some homework but it's difficult.

That pain is a monster to deal with. Surgery was 12/13

I can consume the 60 oz of liquids. I have no appetite so I am struggling with 8 oz of Protein Drink.

Also don't need the CPAP machine to sleep

I had my gastric bypass on 11-29-12. I have so many questions about what others who had surgery are doing now. I'm having a hard time keeping liquids down at times. Some full liquids don't agree with me and Protein is a constant problem for me. Just need ideas from others thanks.

Doing pretty good going back to work has kept me busy and tired by the end of the day. Feeling like I am not losing quick enough but I guess that is normal. Thanks for asking. How have you been ?

I'm doing ok...much like you I wish the weight was coming off a little quicker..i try not to compare my loss to others...maybe slow is a good thing...few changes I need to make that would help and that being exercise..its been too cold (-17° this morning) to get out and walk! I don't work so I'm struggling a little ever day with boredom hunger! Hopefully I can get past this!

Finally broke down to go buy new clothes yesterday. Old clothes hanging pretty bad. I was absolutely stunned to get into size 36 jeans and size large shirts! I never thought Id see these sizes again! Even belts are on the very first hole so had to get a new one as well. It just seems so surreal to see this happen; like Im in a dream!

I am just curious what the normal weight loss will be? Nobody really can give me a hard answer about it.

The way my surgeon described it to me is that you should expect to lose 60% of what you are overweight in your first year following surgery.

I found a chart I am going to try to post when I get home but month 1 was 20% of what pounds you are to lose to be at your goal.. 35% at the end month 3.. It continues on.. I will post when I find plus I know my wording is off.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
