I'm post op as of the June 24th, I spent two nights in recovery instead of just one (I'm really sensitive to meds so I was a problem child). I'm feeling pretty good but I'm only able to get in 3 bottles of Water daily (and that's a struggle) every time I drink anything it feels like a stabbing pain in my stomach. I know this is more than likely because it's so new (Wedensday) but that's not making life easier for staying hydrated. I go this coming week to check in.

Other than that I feel great and am so exciting to get the ball rolling here with the weightloss!!

Feel free to friend me and keep in touch!

So I went for my 2 year check up this past week. Was a little nervous because I couldn't remember what I weighed in at last year, and I've put on a little this year after switching up my thyroid meds. Anyways, I'm down 4 lbs and that has me at the 80% loss of excess weight! yay! My dr was very happy with my progress. I think I may start looking into Tummy Tuck :)

Oh and let me know if you have questions about tummy tucks. I had the circumferential lower body lift which is more cutting but I can help you understand recovery etc. I am thrilled with my results! I am wearing a bikini this summer for the first time in 23 years. It's a mom bikini (I have big books and like that business covered really well) but it's a bikini! I got it from bare necessities because they have swim stuff made for girls double d and higher. I got a top in a 32 DD and size small bikini bottoms and it is adorable. I wasn't even shy about wearing it at all.

I never gave my update! My son graduated from High School this spring and we had his grad party followed by the 4th! The past two weeks have been a blur! My 2 year went fantastically well. I already knew about

OOPS! Hate when that happens!!

Anyway, I already had the results of the blood work, so I knew I was high on Iron and low on zinc. We adjusted my Vitamins to reflect these results. My doc wants a full blood panel again in 6 months just to be sure everything is still good, but I don't need to come in again until next year. Weight is GREAT! Found out that I can officially say that I have lost 100% of my excess weight.

Hope all of you enjoyed a great holiday weekend! It is so nice to really live this life! This weekend we went canoeing, hiking, biking, took part in a 75 minute Turbo Kick class, and went for a 3 mile run! 2 years ago I would not have been able to do one of those things, if I had tried I would have been down for days. I LOVE this new life!

Kristi, sorry about the blood work. I have always had bad veins. WLS has improved that too! It's nice not to have to dread getting a blood draw! I feel for you!!

Bloodwork results are on my chart and they all fall within the normal range... YAY I guess if some are lower or higher than they want they will let me know.

When I was overweight, they couldn't find my veins because they were too deep... now she says they roll around because my skin is loose... can't win for loosing i hate needles!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
