Hey Group. I changed me name' date=' I was Old Hippie Gal. Just wanted yall to know. School is going well. for a 56 yr old I am starting to feel younger and more girly. lol I think its because I am going to school with alot of young and girly girls. guess that is what happens when you go to beauty school. lol. I am doing very well in nail class. really got my sculptured nails down pretty good. all the cosmo girls are wanting me to do theirs lol So all is good. Glad all of you are doing so well. you are always in my prayers[/quote']

I'm so happy for you that you had the surgery to help your health and following your dreams by going to school. You are a great role model for people who think they can't do it. Congrats girl :-) You look great!!!

You look great. It's cool to change you're name but keep that bubbling personality the same.

I seem to be able to eat only 2 oz of meat and then I'm full. I am really curious as to, is this the norm? How much meat can you all eat before full. It doesn't leave room for anything else.

Gallbladder pain tonight. Ugh I hate it. Still have (sorry for this) diarrhea x 2 days. It's horrible. Any ideas for that other than Imodium AD. Everything I eat is running through me. I'm sorry all.

I had my 3 month appointment Friday. I'm down 60lbs, I feel good for the most part. I still have a lot of nausea and carry zofran with me at all times. I don't enjoy eating at all. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I have difficulty getting my Protein in since I don't eat. I know I have to so usually drink Protein Drinks. Which my nutritionist said yesterday wasn't ideal but however I have to get it. I did my 1st 5k and had a blast. Already signed up for another!

Congrats on your weight loss! Sorry about the nausea and eating issues. Does the doctor have any answers about the nausea?

        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
