Ok, so im really really excited right now. I had my surgery October 9th, that's 4 days ago, the night before my surgery I got on the scale at home and the scale said 327, I just got on the scale a few minutes ago and it said 309. that's 18 flipping pounds. 18 POUNDS!!!!!!!! OMG, I cannot remember the last time I saw 30anything on the scale and to lose 18 pounds in four day.... I want to do jumping jacks i'm sooo happy. just this 18 pounds make me feel like the last four days of pain, and gas and sleeping have been totally worth it! I cant wait to see that bad boy show under 300lbs..... Super super excited! Oh, is anyone else having a problem with the blogs? Every time I try to post it says its unavailable and will be back October 10th. Just wondering!

I am having trouble too. Congrats on the weight loss so far. I'm 19 days out and down 30lbs. The last two days I've been vomiting everything and wanted to ask others if it happened to them and what they did but I can't post. Any help is appreciated. Again congrats. I hear after the first few weeks you really start to feel great and of course look great.

CONGRATS on all your weight loss. You give me hope.... but I'm scared to death! My surgeon consult is a week from Tuesday and my surgery probably the week following... I'm terrified! Has there been a lot of pain for you?

Honestly the first day, a Monday, was nuts. I wasnt in pain just not being able to drink until the next day was weird. The toughest thing was getting through the week on Clear Liquids. I wasnt hungry it was more mind over stomach. Once I got to the weekend all was good. I kept myself busy. Now I'm having trouble but not everyone does. I can't keep anything down and I'm at week three. My doc says everyone progresses differently. There's nothing to be scared of and not much to prepare either. Take it one day at a time and you will do well. I have a friend whose 10 months out has had no problems and is doing wonderful. Don't waste time worrying this is something that in the long run week make thou much more healthy. First nights sleep was the hardest after that each night for better for me. Make sure you ask for the pain meds. Best of luck!

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
