Hey sorry was off here for a few days...I am doing pretty good...yesterday (day 5) was my first day to get 80g Protein and 8 cups of Fluid. I feel full all day long and feel like I am living to drink (like an alcoholic haha) How are things going for you?? I have one more week of Clear Liquids but I found a concoction of a new choc Protein Powder w/30 g and PB2 Peanut Butter so I get 35g in one cup of Protein Shake so I can just do crystal light and Water the rest of the day with 1/2 cup of Jello w/protein. I am exercising now 20 mins a day I hope to do 30 today.

Good to hear from you, I was worried about you. I just got my jp drain removed.

I feel so much better. I go back to work tomorrow. Doctor said everything looks good. Down 12 lbs.

That's awesome...down 12 is good. I give it to you going back to work so soon. I could probably do most of my work but we do a lot of lifting. So I took the whole 6 weeks figured it would help me get into an exercise routine so I don't fall off so easy while at work. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE I AM COME SUMMER TIME!!! wow just the thought of it. It feels weird like I really didn't have the surgery but I know I did. I know crazy huh!

Hey!!! Sorry first my computer went down then my Internet. The phone app is not as food as the ipad. All is going well, I too am in a stall only 2 lbs lost in the last two weeks. I talked to the dietician yesterday and she said she thinks I am taking in too few calories ugh...but I don't feel like I can consume any more ugh...but I start puréed foods Wednesday (tues night lol) and she said that it should break it and I will start losing again. I am down 15 since surgery. I am glad work is going well...two more weeks and I go back. I hope to be 220 by the time I go back. Are you getting all 8 cups of Water? I get 6

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
