Hey August group... It's been 9 months since surgery.. I am down 133 pounds, ND have been stalled at 189 for about 2 months... The main reason is, because I can't exercise currently.. I'm due to see a vascular specialist because my veins stretched so much being so large, and loosing the weight so rapidly they never went back to their original shape. So I have ugly varicose veins in my upper and lower legs, and not only that but there causing circulation issues, and I move my legs all night long due to the constant pain I'm in from them.. They go numb often, and taking a hot bath... Forget it! The heat makes them even worst.. Right now I am being made to wear compression Stockings to help with the circulation, and eventually I am going to need the veins stripped.. Whatever that means lol. I feel great, I haven't gotten a whole lot of energy just yet.. I feel like the same ole me.. However I'm not out of breath doing simple things like I use to.. I still feel tired Alot though, and haven't found anything that super excites me.. I am more in tune with my body now.. I know when I need to up my fluids, and I can't ever miss a dose of B12, cause when I do, the next day is completely awful.. I feel extremely sick.. My levels are great with blood work.. There's nothing I can't eat except milk.. Everything agrees so far, so good. I can do maybe 1/2 cup total of food, depending on the density... I can do 1 egg and a half slice of toast.. 1 Taco, 1/2 lean cuisine Panini... Examples... I drink a lot of Water, or propel zero... Everything else is too sweet... I also drink Alot of coffee.. So bad I know lol... I'm in a size 10 pants, and a large shirt.. Never thought I'd borrow my daughters clothes lol.. I

attached new photos... Oh my hair stopped falling out as well! Biotin 10,000 mcg definitely made a difference!!! How is everyone doing??

You guys look fabulous!!! My surgery was aug 6th. I'm down 98lbs. I couldn't start exercising until i.lost 80lbs due to my back n knees. I still have to be careful. But at least its still coming off. :)

My daughter is only 17 n at age 16 had to have her varicose veins stripped. Don't no why she got them. But dr. Said she was the youngest hed seen. They just go in n strip them n cortarize them.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
