So I had my surgery Dec 16, 2013. I am now 5 1/2 months post op. My HW was approx 320 (although it was higher when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2011). My SW was 297. My CW is 241. I have had no complications, yay me! I have never dumped, yay me! The only thing i cannot tolerate is sugar, yay me! I'm

Protégé of WLS? Probably not. I am very lucky though. There are many days where i do feel like I am failing this amazing tool I have been given. Then, out of nowhere, another 5 pounds disappears. Amazing how the cycle works.

For me anyway - I will go through major Constipation and being severely gassy. I have come to terms with this is my bodies way of 'shedding its uneeded waste' then after an unknown amount of time, I GO POTTY!!! And I am on the losers bench for about a week straight. Then i return to the cycle of stallage, I call it. So for those out there who get discouraged, don't. Our tool does work!! Just don't forget to eat!

One thing though that seems to have me beat, is the fact that my body is in rough shape. It hurts so bad to try and be physically active. My low back is awful. I was hopeful that once i had lost my first 50#, that I could get on track and start a routine - however, 50# has come and gone - and I still cant excersize. I know I would probably almost be at goal if I could. I am ok with this though. My weight is coming off a bit slower than others - but I'd rather it come off a bit slower than so fast I mentally & physically cannot keep up. I do not have a whole lot of the saggy skin, and I am portraying this to losing on the slower side.

      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.
