So for bawling my eyes out for two and a half weeks. My husband came and got his stuff.

So I am like screw this and posted my profile on a site. 6 people in less than 30 minutes. So I met this man for drinks. Lol Water for me. And this man is amazing. I had forgotten how much love and attention I was missing.

Good for you girl! Soon he will see what he missed out on! His loss! Hope you are feeling better!

Ok I just had a entire small Wendy's chili for lunch. That's a cup! Anyone else able to eat that much? Kinda freaked me out!! It scared me I'm eating more now. I know it's watery I guess but that's about the most I have been able to eat since surgery.

I love Wendy's chili! I can eat a large within a few hours! Great Protein and not many calories. It is soupy so not really worried about it stretching the pouch.

Guys. I am very freaked out. The more i am reading about where you are and what is allowed in relation to me, man, it worries me.

Like, i was allowed to take tablets a bit more than a month post op. i started drinking alcohol about 8 weeks post op (little, i might add. Only one glass of wine, and i take a long time to drink it). What else? Oh, i can eat a bit more than most it seems. Like a small steak.

I've had no problems and doing ok. Although my weight loss have slowed down considerably, but perhaps it is just also the 4 month slump.

I dunno. Feel weird. Totally off my anti-depressants since the op.

Perhaps I should go back on.

I do have to start gymming though!

Hmm idk I know even over here with the different dr's and nutritionists we keep hearing a variety of things that they are telling us. My weigh loss at this point is stopped dead in its track..I've actually gained!! I was more freaked out cause I thought it would be a year before I could hold a whole cup of food and today I did. Im glad u aren't having problems. That's wonderful and all any of us could hope for. Sounds like u are doing great( other than what we have shared about having the raging acne issues) that's wonderful to know. I'm still on my anti depressants but I'm not feeling so wonderful..not depressed just blah! Anxious is more like it. You are doing fabulous! Keep up the good work!

Its been a long day! A 8 hour round trip for my 15 year Olds Frenulectomy. Plus they cut off extra gum and shaved her bone down. All for the sake of get teeth not moving after her braces come off. I hate anything to do with mouth surgery!

At my 3 month appointment my doctor told me I could start swallowing small pills... So it is totally up to your doctor. It doesn't hurt to ask.

See? This is crazy to me. My doctor had me swallowing pills in the hospital. The minute the morphine pump was out, they were dropping full percocets down my throat!

I was swallowing my pills whole in the hospital! I just had liquid pain meds for some reason! I have also had some alcohol. You are not alone! I think that as long as the weight keeps coming off at some rate, we are doing ok!

Just a check in...still having weird health symptoms..dizzy and weak. Now they think I'm having Migraine related vertigo...not good. I can't swim or drive...not supposed to be alone.it's really messing with my exercise routine. I do walk a lot with the dog and am running agility with him...still doesn't seem like a lot. Oh well, I'll get back on the horse once they figure this all out :)

Seen my primary care doc yesterday. Had a bunch of blood drawn...Will know results in a few days. Curious to know if i'm lacking in anything. Good news! She's weening me off my blood pressure meds! She thinks i may be hypoglycemic because i break out in sweats all day long. Could be menopause too. She explained how our bodys process everything differently now. Went into detail about blood sugars that went way over my head! I'm losing so slow and kinda down about it...but she was thrilled with my results so far. Made me feel better :)

      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.

      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.
