This is awesome! I'm from St. Louis and I live in Ballwin right now so that's not too far. I also love the idea of a clothing swap/exchange/sell type thing.

Also I bought a big box of upcal, Calcium that you put into a drink. I can't stand it but that could be because anything I had the first week after surgery reminds me of being sick, so I can't have any of it anymore.

I'll bring the box and you guys are free to take as much as you want.

I also have three fourths of a bottle of sugar free hazelnut Torani Syrup. I don't know if that's gross but I swear I haven't put anything in it! I just hate to waste it but I don't like it.

I have some nice work clothes that I just bought before surgery. I could probably sell them but it is a hassle and I'd rather give them away to people I know are going to appreciate them and pass them on when they can't use them anymore!

Are we simply trading clothes or can we also sell them? I've got some nice ones that if they don't sell, I'd love to give away but would like to try to sell them first.

Hi EmmaLindsey - that is fine if you want to put a price on them. We'll just let everyone know some items are for sale and some items are for free.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Great question! I should have asked for RSVPs...can everyone let me know as I have prepared workbooks for everyone to keep and use at each meeting. I also have a give-away - we'll draw names. I'll have ice and Water available.

Thanks!

        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
