my 9 month post-op is tomorrow and I've 'only' lost about 10 pounds in the last 4 months (I'm good with this as long as it keeps going away!!!) however I've seriously contemplated shorts, a bowel prep, and diuretics this week :P stupid stupid stupid me :D

Right? I can see it now. "It's November in Chicago, WHY is that woman going into the medical office in a swim coverup and flip flops?" My fat brain also tried to convince me to weigh my shirts to see which was lighter. (I didn't, btw.)

I shouldn't be let outside without a handler.

. Okay, true confessions? I actually did weigh 2 outfits this morning in prep for tomorrow.... I should probably be medicated.

In other enabling news (or not) this might win the internet.

I should be institutionalized, cause I fight with myself on wanting to look cute verses wearing light weight...

Oh wait a minute while I take of this belt oh and this chunky necklace because it weighs 8 oz's :P

Well okay....the mental argument was 'which of the cute outfits weighs the least'. There will be no jewelry tomorrow :D that's where I'm drawing the line!!!

Wait. Y'all don't just remove most everything in the doctor's office? No wonder she looks horrified when I start the stripper music.

. They swear I'm the only one that takes off every extra ounce!!!!

I've been out of it for a week or so due to life getting in the way of forums, so bring me up to speed. I assume this thread is the new place to talk since we can't see sh*t on the new site and don't know what the new posts are?

BTW, missed everyone. Lips - love the new picture.

But, apparently, the NEW CONTENT tab is the place to go for new stuff. Think I'll go there now.

Seems like all the threads with misinformation from the beast are getting locked...I wouldn't take it personally.

I reported her for spreading lies. I'm worried about the people she is influencing, especially pre-ops. It's very dangerous IMHO.

        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
