I put on my profile an updated picture for after surgery' date=' I am 5 weeks out, I cant tell by looking at it that I have lost weight. When I look at the mirror I dont see anything but the fat girl. Do you all get that too. My inlaws said they could tell right away I had lost some weight. Maybe I need to see my therapist again.[/quote']

You can tell a difference! Good job!

Hi everyone! I havent posted in awhile. All that abdominal pain finally went away after 4 weeks, and I went back to work last Wednesday! I have stalled at 27lbs (5 weeks post op), but I am trying not to get frustrated. Any suggestions? I hope everyone is doing well!

Good to hear from you. We've had a lot of stalls around here. My nut suggested to me more natural carbs, fruits, veggies, etc. if you're getting your Proteins and liquids in and still are at around a 400 cal day. Try upping your cals w those natural carbs. Working out? Still could be losing but gaining muscle. Won't reflect on the scale but will on the measurements. If you're not working out then add that in for a few days a week.

Well today I went to my lawyers to sign a petition to have the LA divorce thrown out due to it already pending in MI courts. Keep your fingers crossed for me, that the D is thrown out in LA. then I will have my lifetime medical coverage :-) Also he losses the so called leverage he has over me by bringing it all back to MI courts and let the judge eat him up for court shopping on another state. As well as for not abiding by the terms of the divorce petition in MI.

Can someone tell me the symptoms you have experienced with a stricture. I started on Saturday it feels different when I eat and on Tuesday it feels almost impossible to eat. Any suggestions?

Try doing a search of the word stricture and see what threads come up. Sorry I'm no help.

I'm not sure if I could do it every meal/ every day. I have 1 Greek yogurt a day sometimes that feels really old. That is lunch everyday along w fruit. At dinner, I try to have a meat w veggies. Tomorrow making a big pot of turkey chili. Can't wait!!!

So as for the yogurt, I hope 1 a day helps!!!

      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
