So happy to see everyone check in here so I don't feel like I am the ONLY one. It really helps. Anyone else having foot cramps before bed? I do my best on fluids, but this is happening every night!

Tonight I had to go to a party and I'm seeing a lot of people for the 1st time since my surgery. They were freaking. Couldn't believe how good I looked and how small my face is which is def the biggest change

Ok. Been a while since last post. I've discovered I have things called bones! I was feeling my belly (my favorite thing now when I wake up) and felt a dang rib! Also while flying out to DC last week the ride was horrible. No cushion in the butt anymore and I had to get up every so often to walk. I look at my old clothes and can't believe I used to wear those! Those are getting sold to make room for new ones sometime. Had fun at Mardi Gras in Shreveport last night. I dropped like 3 pounds from dancing and raising hell! Tons of fun! I need to get some new pics done....

Darn it! I gained 2 lbs' date=' it's not that time of the month and I swear my stomach shrank. 2 oz of chicken and I feel sick. What the heck is going on??[/quote']

I get like that too. One minute I'm losing like crazy then I sit for a week or so 2 lbs up then it drops its stupid don't worry about it it will pass. It's annoying as hell but you will pull through it as I do. Last week I had great loss now those same 2 lbs float around. Could be Water could anything

Yep on both counts.

I was up two pounds and it finally dropped today. It had to be Water.

I have been actually hungry for about 3 weeks. Some days are worse then others. :-( I was hoping I would be farther out before I actually got hungry.

I don't find that I'm hungry until night time :( I don't even think its that I'm actually hungry but I just want to snack constantly. I think I need to go to bed by 8 to avoid this.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
