Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all are doing well.

I am still fluctuating back and forth between the same 3 lbs everyday. I broke it and went down to 229 but went back up to 232 and keep going back and forth. Am going with all liquids today to try to break the stall. Wish I could exercise as im sure that would help!

Found out the surgeon that was going to do my back surgery is now out of network for my insurance so today I am trying to find someone else. Means starting over and hoping I can find a surgeon who will help. I am so sick of this and frustrated beyond belief. If nothing else I'll stay with the same surgeon and pay the 30%. Would be alot of money after a big major surgery but would have to do monthly payments, probably for the rest of my life! Fingers crossed that I can find someone else to help!

So I did liquids only on Monday and since then have been focusing on only Protein. Was 228 this am which broke my mini stall! Kicking it in gear when in a stall works!

My face is getting so wrinkly...I have jowls and the skin under my neck is so loose and goose like. I did this to be healthy, but, I'm looking old. Demoralizing....I can live with the loose skin on my body, I guess, but my face is just looking old...

People always tell me I look young. I always said that it was because the fat filled out the wrinkles. That was one thing I worried about before surgery. With a thinner face, would my wrinkles be bad??

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
