Hello there, I'm 35, 4 years post-op, and feel so lost. I had a daughter going on two years ago, and gained 60lbs with my pregnancy. My lowest weight was 177, I started at 320. As of right now, I'm 220. Although I'm much lighter than I used to be, I feel I'm slipping back to my old ways of snacking and binge eating. I am new to being a stay at home mom, and although I try so hard to watch what I eat, my snacking, and eating the leftover of whatever my daughter isn't eating is so hard to resist. I'm so disappointed in myself, and I feel like all the hard work was washed down the toilet. I feel terrible, and now with summer coming up, I am really noticing just how heavy I've become once again. Please, I need a buddy, or just some words of encouragement right now. So glad I found this site..

You can do this! Switch back to Proteins and veggies. You will lose it in no time.

Thanks so much! I am going to cut out the processed food, and stick to the Protein. I really hope I can do this again. Thanks for the words of encouragement!!

      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.
