When did you have surgery and how soon after did you eat lettuce? Salads are really one of the few things I really miss.

I had my surgery 6/5 and I started eating raw veggies last week. My nut said after 8 weeks I could start eating almost everything. Dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and stuff like that are still out if the question.

How much are y'all able to drink? I think I drink to much too fast. I can drink about 8oz in about 45 mins. I'm afraid I might be stretching my pouch...or is this normal?

Today marked 9 weeks out for me. Down 39 lbs but not even two pants sizes. Makes me wonder where I lost the weight from. It's like I'm failing at this too. Everyone else gets to break up with Lane Bryant and Avenue. I feel like I'm stuck forever.

I seriously have been thinking the same thing. I see the pictures people post here and think wow...but then i look at myself and think dang...when will I start to see a difference. I have some black scrubs in my closet that are no where close to fitting yet. It brings me down...bad. Thanks for your post...at least I don't feel so alone on this.

I'm in the same situation. Pre op I was in an 18 but I tried on a 16 the other day and they fit but they were TIGHT!! I'm down 38lbs. I have noticed that it depends on the brand. I have a couple of pants that I bought at target and they are a size 18 but I bought a pair of 16 at Macy's. And the size 18 Levi's I have are like 6 inches too big. Go figure. Everything will even out.

Me too friends! I know intellectually that the weight will come off but . . . Seems like I've been at the 38 lb loss mark forever. I can't fail at this, can I? (Yes I'm exercising and getting in at least 50g Protein daily).

I did. And not to be gross but it smelled like toxic waste. It went away a few weeks after though. My surgeon said it was fairly common.

I think I can drink 8 oz in way less time. I. Don't think I am stretching anything bc my eating is still very limited at meal time.

Surgery: 6/5/2013

      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.
