Doing better than I was. N down 36lb.

I go Tomoro to find out my labs. :/ my family dr. has already told me to drink more. Which is hard for me. I'm just not a big drinker. But i'm doing better. Today was the first day I got to go back to the Ymca n I got in the pool n just took it slow today.

How are you?

Had a scare with crippling stomach pain and vomiting. After a trip to the ER and many tests later, the doctors determined it to be excess acid. I wasn't taking my liquid antacid because I wasn't having acid reflux. Apparently, I'm supposed to take it every day anyways. I've been taking it and feel great!

On a positive note, I'm down 37 lbs and have taken up Zumba. I couldn't do Zumba 37 lbs ago because my feet hurt so bad.

      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.
