March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, checking in. I have been at a standstill for the last 2 weeks and it is getting frustrating. I hit onderland and boom it stopped. I have been 198-199 for two weeks. I have been working out a lot and trying to get all of my fluids and Protein in. I get between 700-100 cal a day depending on the day and 90-110 g protein. Sometimes my Water intake is not as much as it could be but, I am trying. I am really hoping to start losing again. I have a long way to go!

I know what you mean! I've been stuck between 170 and 171 for a couple of weeks. It's annoying. We got used to the quick weight loss and we have to let our bodies catch up. I weigh myself every day which I know I shouldn't do, but I can't stop myself. You are doing so great! Hang in there.

Three months today, down 59 pounds!! Yay! Eating remains challenging as I still have trouble with solids, but I'm sure it will get better. Weight loss is only about 2-3 pounds a week-slow & steady wins the race. I'm up to 40 minutes on the recumbent bike. It's at a slowish pace but still such an improvement. I have MS so fatigue, leg weakness (I walk w/ a walker) & balance will always be challenges. BUT 40 minutes on an exercise bike is so huge for me. Congrats to fellow losers!! Lets continue kicking a__!!

Hello everyone I have been in the hospital since last night. I had severe abdominal pain and vomiting whenever I tried to eat or drink. I had a scope done today. They were thinking it was a stricture but it was not. They found a very large marginal ulcer. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I was so scared. I am on iv Fluid although still not peering much. They also said I would probably be here for a couple days.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
