I was having trouble sleeping too. Called my surgeon and they recommended dissolvable melatonin- I got mine at Walgreens. It has helped me so much! I slept only 2 hours Sunday night but since then much better.

I feel the same way when I look at older pics of myself. I think how in the world did I get this big and not notice!

All I did today is drink Water like crazy because its hot at my house no air conditioner and now im on my lunch break or should I say water break

The heat always makes me crave water more. That might be the ONLY thing I like about the summertime. Maybe the smaller I get my outlook on summer might change.

After standing on my feet for 8hrs I am tired but I feel like I must do some type of exercise. I think I'm gonna force myself to do zumba. How does everyone else do with working and exercising?

I'm ashamed!!! I'm slacking alot since I've went back to work cause the hours and the commute and just so hot I'm having to force myself to keep moving. Nothing like I was just 2 weeks before even. Excuses I know but my fatigue is still kicking my butt. Hope he does some labs tomorrow make sure I'm squared away. Can't believe almost all our April peeps here are about 2 months!!

I'm also 10 weeks out' date=' I've lost about 1/3 of mine. I had 4 inches cut off so the curls might bounce up a bit and look fuller.

Good news I can always order a fabulous wig from one of those drag queen fashion websites, LOL!

Also try the Biotin Shampoo and conditioner... You can get it from Walmart. My mom started using it and she says her hair has been fuller! Hope it helps.

        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
