I too, had my RNY Nov 6th however, my pouch is to big!!!! After a slow loss (32 lbs) my dr ran some tests and discovered my pouch was not the size it should be :( I go back to surgery July 17 and again, I'll have to do the liquids, mushies and then solids! I've got about 40lbs more I'd like to lose so hopefully this will get me there!

Congrats to those who have has an awesome success!!! I was looking forward to a Tummy Tuck this year but looks like that's not going to happen & I'm okay with that, I'm not giving up!!!

Yesterday jogged twice. I'm doing couch to 5km. One of my goals is to be a runner. Seriously this is going to happen. So my last jog was with my daughter age 11. Great kid great mommy supporter of my changing life to healthy living. She jogged with me. Last night she was dying to keep up. She did but you could tell she was done. My program said you have one minute that means 6 minutes cook down to walk. Ok jogged it and went an extra minute. I did 1 km no stopping. I could have gone more but she was done. So I stopped. I finally had control over my breathing and my heart wasn't racing like I was dying. I was good. I love my Ryn and all the possibilities that are open now to my life. I can do it and I know I can now. I didn't give up. I just finished week 3 but I had to do week 1 and 2 for two weeks since I couldn't get a grip and never once did I give up no matter of the pain or how slow I had to jog or how no one wanted to go with me. I stuck it out. I'm crying while writing this because being obese sucks and life sucked and I made excuse no to excerise go to the mall outings . Now I'm back and I feel a renewed and a better person. Honestly if I don't lose anymore wait who cares I am slowly achieving my goal of healthy living and dedication to achieving a better me . I'm still the same person just a healthier choice that you for all your support kicks in the butt and just listing. I appreciate all of you. Oook crying stopped just had to share

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
