Yes, I hear you about the breast. I feel the same. Just remember while working out you are also building muscle. Muscle weights more than fat. So what I'm saying is it may read different on the scale, however you may see it more in your measurements at first or how your clothes fit :-) . But working out is great to rev up those Muscles to burn more for you :-) creating more burning of the fat cells.

I use my Spanx and did right after I got home. Loved it and it helped so much w the pain by holding tummy in and supporting it :-) I agree w the uncomfortable binder :-(

Congrats :-) you're doing great!!!

Ok punish me. I had one of those small packs of low fat cottage cheese with salt and pepper on it. You know the kind that come in a 4 pack. No fruit. And it was good. Almost ate it all but didn't. I chewed it well and then had a SF Jello, waiting to drink my Water. Lets see how sick i get, hope i will be ok wish me luck

I think you'll be fine as well :-) congrats moving to the next step :-) Didn't you say you've been moved to puréed earlier. Happy you're are doing well and tolerating foods ;-)

I have had the wonton Soup and it was good. I couldn't eat much of it. The noodle part was good' date=' gave me some energy (carbs), but of course wasn't very nutritional, so I made sure my other two meals were. It was nice to sit with others and eat something "normal".[/quote']

When you had the wonton soup, where you on the pureed food stage? If so, how did you eat the wonton?

      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.
