Hi' date=' I had my surgery dec 6. No problems until Monday than not sure what happened but better now!!![/quote']

Welcome! Glad you r better now. How are you feeling about your weight loss since surgery? The hardest thing here, at least for me, is remembering to not compare myself with others.

I saw my nutritionist today. They were very happy with my progress. Total inches lost were 22 inches. That consists of 4 in the neck, 10 in the waist, and 8 in the hips. They did, as I expected, read me the riot act on the fact that I'm not meeting my Protein goal. They told me I must work hard at meeting my protein dollars.

I am on the way home from the hospital after visiting a friend that had RNY a year ago last Nov. she lost slow for the first few months, but the started getting sick from what she was eating and started loosing quickly. Yesterday she had to have surgery to remove 6" of her small intestine that had collapsed down in on itself and rotted a quarter sized hole in it due to fast weight loss.

So fast is not always good! I a slow loser too but at least I am losing! I am happy with that!

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. I hope she heals well. I like my slow and steady weight loss too :-) my body couldn't tolerate a large amount. I would do this all over again if I had the choice. I'm happy w the outcome this far.

Now as for the hysterectomy, I wished I would have waited a few more months before under taking that, lessons learned.

Happy days. Today I bought a pair of pants on clearance, thinking it would be 2 weeks more til I fit in them. Came home tried them on and fit perfectly, woohoo. I have a big butt so normally I had to go a size bigger. But now in 16, so happy. Going to have to hit clearance to see if I can find a couple more pair :-) I seem to be dropping a pant size each month since surgery so paying full price, I don't think so. Happy Dance.

That's awesome isn't it! I have a big booty, hips and thighs (lost out in the boobs department) and wasn't fitting in any of my clothes well. I was an 18, pushing a size 20. Recently I was able to shop in my own closet for jeans and slacks. Pre-surgery I had 1 pair of jeans that I barely fit in and 2 pair of slacks. Now I fit in all my 16's and a 14, that's 5 pairs of jeans and 12 pair of slacks. Yeah! Glad I never got rid of the smaller sizes-saved me some serious cash!!

Jen,

I'm in that boat. All my work clothes are saggy baggy. I have 2 pairs of 16 pants in my closet and they fit great. Friday I noticed that my size 16s were saggy in the butt. Whoo hoo! Feels great! I also realized I need to buy new undies. Mine keep falling down! Ha!

Hi everyone, seems like you all are doing well, overcoming any obstacles in your journey. I'm wondering if anyone else has had troubles with strictures? Just had my fourth one dilated, would love to make it up to regular food, I was done 18th Dec? Anyone give me an indication of how they've overcome their structure issues? Feels a bit never ending lately?

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

        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
