:rolleyes: I have a request, that everyone take the time to fill out their profile & or update them, it just makes it easier if you are requesting advise for the responders to have that information. Also interesting to know if you are international or which state of our own country you are blogging from! If you want to be private just enter the state & skip the city or origin. Thanks!

Joanne, so many newcomers are young and they utilize Ipads, Iphones, Galaxy, Kindle Fire etc. It's impossible for some of those smart phones and devices to enter that info. I used to make the same request till I signed on with my Kindle one day. But I agree it would sure help.

I can't read the italicizes fonts unless I'm on my iPad where I can stretch the next, and then sometimes still can't! On the iPhone, forget it.

I'm going to make another suggestion too--that if you start a thread about something, come back a week, a month, whenever later and let us know how everything played out. Thank you!!!

I only access this forum from the app on my iPhone. I have tried clicking on someone's user name but can't ever seem to find the 'ticker' that some refer to that tells me someone's surgery date, pre op weight, current weigh etc. is it not possible with an iPhone?

        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.

      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
