This is the same post that i posted in Decmber's surgery group. As y'all know I have neen following your group too.

I am sadly (for myself it's sad) reporting that I'm still losing weight and hit my goal weight (125 as of this morn).. I am definitely too skinny. I have upped my carb intake. I am also forcing myself to eat more in calories. I hate being negative on what others think should be a positive task, losing weight. But then again if we all could lose like we did before the surgery, we wouldn't have had the surgery :-) I am still very happy for the tool that I've been blessed with. Now I need to learn how to gain effectively and maintain effectively while maintaining health; as well as, peacefulness in my mind with everything I'm putting in my mouth. So forgive me for the complaint when all of you are working so hard.

My hard work is definitely coming in maintaining w/o losing. I cant wait to hear more goals reached. Hopefully the maintenance will be easier for you than it was for me!!!! I will continue following and posting; meanwhile praying for everyone that is having the surgery, thinking about having it, or have had it. Meanwhile, throw some prayers up for me in not losing anymore, but in gaining then maintaining ;-) the weight :-)

Gen :-) 12/15/12

So I have lost 120#s and today for the first time at work I had a Protein Drink this morning and then for lunch I had a string cheese and a couple pistachios then a few minutes later I threw it up. I went to my desk sat there a second went back to the bathroom two more times to get sick. The weird thing is I eat the same thing at work everyday. But the frothy mouth just got me today.

Congrats on the weightloss. It's weird how on certain days that the same meals make you sick. Happens to me all the time.

It seems like you have made the first step...admitting there is a problem. I give you credit for getting honest! Now just decide if you want to stay away from the crap day by day, and make that decision accordingly. It wont be easy, but with help, it can be done one day at a time !

I know I go to therapy every week and it's a struggle to come clean but you have to start somewhere.

Here I may have a solution, if you get dumping from too much sugar.? If you do make your self sick from candy so that you no longer want it. I have seen it work for people in my support group. Keep in mind dumping is rough for some people and a wicked deterrent. Otherwise, search for a healthy substitute, like dark chocolate almonds from blue diamond, sweetened with stevia, have Protein better for you than Cadbury or Hershey.

      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.
