I would like to remind you that your daughter of Christ and he has your every move on his mind in his eyes and heart. He knows us better than we know ourselves and has nothing but your best interest at heart. His plan for you and your family is wonderful no matter how we struggle here or the fears that we deal with He is forever faithful and will never leave your side through it all!

Amen and amen!! So believe this as well, what an awesome God we have!!

I feel good!! How about you? They have me doing every stage for two weeks each so next week I start the purée food! I'm excited just to chew lol. Do you feel your self getting hungry often? I'm getting hungry more often but all I really want to do is chug a water bottle down so bad.

Also what did you eat at the second stage? The doctor said anything that comes out of a blender basically.

Sorry it's taking me so long to respond I got a new phone . I was bad I didn't puree anything I just chewed it up a really super good. I did a lot of Peanut Butter and I would eat toast but I would chew it really good. Now I'm on week five and I just eat ... chew chew chew... I kinda had a hard time with refried Beans or any kind of beans. But now I'm good. I'm still testing different foods to make sure I can tolerate them. I hope this was helpful I feel like a terrible example. I was 156 lbs this morning!!! Wooohooo.... :)

Congratulations!!!!!!!! 156 would be a dream come true for me! Way to go ! Can I ask you what you started your weight with. Also thanks for the advice. I had my first egg this morning with spinach and cheese. Ate two bites chewed and chewed and that was it for me. So my left shoulder starts to hurt every time I eat. I called a specialist on it and they said its normal. It's my body sign your full. Strange right???

Going to have some yogurt for lunch and some Soup for dinner. These days I'm so busy and tired I don't have the time or energy

To eat and haven't had a Protein shake in so many days too. Once again a big congrats!!!!!!

My starting weight was 172. eggs are a good thing to start with ' date=' you get your Protein a little bit of fat and they're soft.[/quote']

How are you doing? Any more weight loss and are you eating more now?

I'm starting my regular food starting tomorrow. I didn't purée any thing in the purée stage. Just had a lot of Soup and soft stuff that I chewed to death lol. Don't know how my body will react to regular foods now or how often ill be able to eat.

      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
