Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone !!

Hope you're doing great this very lovely day ,, I'm so excited to be healed and free of pain without taking meds !! I'm back on the road again and it feels wonderful!! My buddy and I walked our 2.5 miles ths morning at 7:00 am without a problem I wanted to go around again.... But I went home and walked another 2 miles with my hubby and the boys felt great !! Went shopping and drove by myself for the first time since May 24th.it took me 9 days to heal and able to start walking again . Tomorrow. I'll start the day walking with my hubby and the boys ,my friend has the pre op appointment she starts her diet on the 5th and surgery on the 20th. She'll have the sleeve . Downtime might be the same as mine, I'm not sure but while she recovering I'll start my long walks which is 7.5 miles one way and have my hubby. Pick me up at the end. My plan is to do the DFW marathon in Dec ,I did it in 2007 ,2008, and 2009 twice , so I just have to talk my buddy into doing it with me or volunteering ,it's nice when you can do it with someone you know. Oh if you're wondering no I don't run anymore , I walk all the way .i had knee surgery on both knees in 2010 that's when my fat issue began ,couldnt walk,therapy wasn't going well, depressed, miserable ,just mad and disappointed in myself and my Drs .in other words I was throwing a giant pity party stuffing my face with all kinds of nasty, gross greasy, fatty foods But now I'm back ,my AC ,and meniscus has healed I'm ready to beat my previous times!!! Weather was great here a little warm but nice, I'm still in the liquid stage so I got all How could I have miss sweet Olivia's Birthday ;( happy 1st Birthday sweet baby ,many many many more!! liquids in and Protein ,I soooooo sick of cottage cheese ,applesauce , Protein drinks , Popsicles , and yogurt !, can't wait until Friday !! Something solid in my mouth after 3 weeks . Well everyone have a peaceful sleep ;)

Great job. After purees I was soooo ready for solid foods too! Good luck and glad to meet you! I totally understand how medical issues can affect weight. I became disabled after heart surgery in 200 and I really gained weight. Glad you are doing 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
