Im getting ready to leave for the hospital now. Prayers sent up and blessings coming down! :)

I hope all goes well with your surgery. I just got to the hospital. There are no rooms available, so I guess I will be sitting in the waiting room for a few hours dying of thirst. Why would they have me come in at 8am if they don't even plan on seeing me until after noon? I'm not in a very good mood right now.

This happened to me too. Stay strong! Had me come in at 7am and I didn't go to the OR until like 11:30. Good luck.

Did you gain weight after surgery?

Yeah- I gained about 6 pounds and lost that pretty quickly after surgery. I am counting from my surgery morning "pre-op" weight.

I feel like I am losing slow. Maybe I just had big expectations. I think I have lost only 6 pounds since my surgery a week ago. I still feel good about everything, but wish the scale would move more. I think I will try more Water today. Also, we have been having lots of rain,so I haven't been able to walk as much as I should.

I wouldn't worry about it! 6 pounds in a week is VERY good! Keep in mind that your body is going in to shock and may be trying to hold on to fat for a few more days before you start burning it because it thinks you are starving. Everyone's system is very different in how long things take.

Thanks for the encouragement! I do know that it is a good number for a week, but I guess I started thinking that it was going to be so much more post op, I am doing everything they told me, so it will come off eventually.

Exactly! Try to think about it this way-- if you happened to lose 6 pound even every Other week, by this week next year you will have lost 156lbs! That's insane!! We are doing this for our futures, the little losses in the present are just bonuses! :)

*someone remember this for when I hit my first plateau and get down. Lol*

I just had my one week follow up. I've lost 14lbs in a week!! I'm so excited!! The pa said I'm doing great and I'm cleared for everything (driving, exercising, etc). It took me two months to lose 20lbs before surgery. I'm blown away!! ????

      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.
