Hello everyone. Well, I've been slipping and as a result of my bad choices, I'm up 7 pounds. I know it's not much, but it feels like it is. I'm ashamed and aggravated at myself for eating things I know I shouldn't. It's not worth it! I told my husband it's food...and food shouldn't take precedents over what I know I should be doing. I've had great success with my surgery. I've lost a total of 115 before the 7 pound gain. I have some physical limitations due to a disability that makes exercising at times very difficult. But my sweet husband renewed our gym membership and he guided me through each exercise today and we ordered protein...lots of different kinds...and went to Walmart and bought a temporary tub of Protein mix til the other comes in. He's doing it with me! That's a big help! I guess I'm just frustrated that I allowed myself to slip back into old habits that I know are not good for me. And the realization is that even though this surgery is one if the greatest tools out there, it's not the surgery that does the work...it's me and what I put into it. So, I needed to see that number on the scale, feel ashamed, and get discouraged in order to get up, dust myself off, and do what's right and what my body needs. I've come too far to go back to where I was...so tomorrows a new day and I'm going to put my best foot forward and lose this extra that I caused to happen. Guess I just needed to vent. Thanks to all that read this and listen. It's nice to have others understand what this journey is like.

You sliped up, it happens to the best of us. shake it off, forgive yourself and start new. Pull out your old pics (pre 115 weight loss) and put it right on the fridge. Keep that reminder there, going back is not a option. Keep a wallet size in your purse if you need that motivation away from home.

You have a sweet hubby, that support is priceless. Lean on him when your weak. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Hang in there! (HUGS)

        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.

      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
