I need to take my antacid everyday too! I'm going to start tomorrow .

Yes! Make sure you take it everyday. You could develop and ulcer. I'm supposed to take it twice a day and it tastes terrible. So bad my body involuntary shutters after taking it.

I hope you feel better soon. Congrats on the loss. Why do you have to open your capsule instead of just swallowing the whole capsule?

Ty n Good question. They just told me that's Wat I am suppose to do. I guess because it takes a while for capsule to dissolve n I might digest it before it has time to disolve.

I have been doing great.. I went from 317 to 238.. so I guess I would say that I'm down 79 pounds.. exercise is coming along. We just got an 8 month old puppy so she helps with that walking for sure.. need to start toning.. clothes are super big on me, and my shirts are just hanging off of me.. I feel great though.. Every morning I make sure I get down a 20 oz bottle of Water before Breakfast, then do the same right before lunch and dinner, that way I know I have all my fluids in... I always eat my protein first so that if I get full I at least know my protein is in... my wife went from 247 to 185.. She's finally in wonderland.. She looks great!! The only foods we can not tolerate is tuna and milk so far... I sure do miss my milk and cereal... no problems getting our Vitamins in... for our Calcium we found the chewables were much better. I'm trying to add before and after pic but it's not letting me... Oh btw I am so confused with this new sight. I miss the old one

      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
