I think it is so rude when someone comes up to me and says so what are you going to do with all your extra skin after you loose weight? I just want to slap the snot out of them!

I was reading today that some RNY patients donate it to burn victims for graphing. I think that is awesome! But I would totally want to shank someone for asking me in that way, if that is how they said it to you. I didn't tell anyone, people are cruel no matter what.

I had a bariatric menu i called to order off of. But i already knew what i could and could not have. Some places must not educate at all.

My surgeon didn't give me much information I've never seen a dietitian yet either he never said anything about Vitamins they unhooked me from my IV 12 hours after my surgery and all I got in the hospital was 2oz tea 2oz Jello and 2oz broth 3 times a day

That's awful. No education at all? I had to pay $150 for a class before surgery that went over everything!

Before i had it some of my co workers said that and asked me if i could lose weight on my own y take the easy way. I was like i lost 10 lbs in 6 months they think is ok. Not me. Of couse bitched them up and down about the afterlife of bypass i was so mad

I also really feel that people like this are jealous of the thought of how you may lose the weight and look great! And of course feeling that way, they have to tear somebody down to make themselves feel better. It is so sad. My closest friend is like this and has started a diet and exercise thing and is so proud and keeps talking about the weight she lost but totally won't acknowledge mine even when I talk about it! People like this are toxic and totally not worth our time. Needless to say, I hardly talk to her. It is important to surround ourselves with people who build us up in our lives:) you're doing awesome and this is far from being the easy way out

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
