To those who have arthritis... Have you noticed it's getting worse since surgery? Also what are you taking since we can't have NSAIDs. My hips are getting worse an the choice between Tylenol (that does nothing) or a narcotic is a scary one for me. I really want to be on a narcotic for the rest of my life but I have noticed my hips are getting worse. Maybe from all the exercise?
I found an all natural pain strip. It really helps me withy back and knees. You can check out website. Www.stripawaypain.net

My surgery was May 28th. Hoping that counts close enough to June since you guys rock and I need the support as well as giving support. I'm struggling with being stalled for 3 weeks. I even started running to gain 3 pounds. Frustrating!!!

I've stalled for 3 weeks then dropped a bunch of weight. It happens. Watch your carbs and up your Protein and Water. Usually has worked for me.

Hallelujah!! The app works!! For now... Well while we were all disconnected I hit a HUGE milestone. 100lbs gone for good! Actually 101 to be exact. To those that have reached this goal, how did you Celebrate it. I want to reward myself but I'm not sure what to do.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
