LindsayHeth I am exactly where you are, but am afraid to weigh myself ! I am afraid no weight loss will discourage me.

So, I am hoping my body is not letting me down.

It's all down hill from there ladies, I am on my last 12 hours and I am down 20lbs in 15 days from the liquids. So tomorrow morning is D day. Stay strong in the end it will be worth it. Cheers to you both you can do it. Prays are with you both.
Thank you! Congrats! You are almost there! Keep up the good work and keep me updated on how it's going for you!
Thanks and sure thing I will keep you posted.

Morning all- day 6 in recovery. 10 pounds down (after gaining 5 after surgery). It's crazy, I would have had to bust my butt and diet hard for well over a month to drop that amount. Kind of ready to move on to more solid food, but thrilled that this process is working. Gas pains almost gone, but still swollen in abdomen area. Good luck and blessings to all going into surgery today!

:) Wow, I am glad to say I am back among the living. The surgery on Feb. 10th kicked my butt big time. I ended up staying in the hospital and extra day due to having so much lung congestion. I was on breathing treatments around the clock and I was in a lot of pain. I came home last Thursday and each day has shown significant improvement. I started on the full liquids on Sunday and that made a tremendous difference. Of course my appetite came back so it was much easier to get the fluids and shakes down. I had 6 incisions and all are doing well except for one which is very very painful. I keep having sharp cutting pains when I move quickly or try to pull my self out of the recliner or bed. Other than that I now feel terrific and I have started walking my 30 minutes per day. I am going back to work tomorrow. For all of those about to have surgery, don't worry, you can do this. The first few days I kept thinking WTH have I done to myself but now on my 1 week anniversary... I feel positive and motivated. Life is good. :P Janet

      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. 🤞
