I don't know if I have lost or not because I refused to step on the scale. I will next Sunday and it better have moved down by then. It was getting too stressful to do it everyday and not see it move. If it wasn't for the surgery I would be eating everything in sight right now. And yesterday I tried to eat meatballs and mashed and serve myself a little bit more than I knew was right, but I was only able to eat the 4 very small meatballs I was too full for the mashed potatoes thank God. My uniform still lose so I'm not gaining. I hope by next Sunday this stall is gone.

How did you make the meatballs ? Did you purée them ?

Dominicana88 how are u? I boiled my meatballs no sauce. I can eat soft foods already so I just make sure I chew them to puree form. They fill me up.

Jenelle how did you get through these first few days? I feel awful. Had surgery 5/5 and came home next day incision pain is tolerable but my stomach is so upset. I'm not sure if it's gas or the shake I tried to drink this morning. What made things better for you?

Girl ! I know the feeling , just try to walk as much as you can Hun . That's only thing that will help feeling back like the old you and help the gas pain . And can you take gas x ? I was able to , that might help and Pepcid too

I live right across the street from an elementary school so I have been taking short walks(15 min) 1-2x/day. I didn't think such a short walk would help but it has :)

Ar40 even if it hurts try to walk and Gas-x that helped me a lot. I walked at a very slow pace for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon and around the house. And the first few days after going home from hospital I slept sitting down on the sofa. I also bought a body pillow which helped a lot. Hang in there it gets better.

So you had some mangu? I love Mangu. Be careful though platanos have a lot of carbs. Don't worry about stalls its only temporary and don't weight yourself everyday. Try to get more Protein in and Water this will help.

I will weight myself tomorrow. I feel that I have lost my pants feel looser. We will see. I am still eating soft foods even though Im out a month as of today. I am afraid of solid foods still. Peanut Butter is tolerable now but little amounts. And mashed potatoes make me feel full for hours and it sits there so Im not a fan right now. Been walking during my lunch hour since Im back at work and I get home tired. I've been averaging about 4000 to 5000 steps. My goal is 10,000 steps. I will update tomorrow how much if any I have lost. Stall better be gone. lol

I know all about Mangu. Im from Puerto Rico and it is one of my favorite dishes. Try reduced fat Peanut Butter and see if your stomach likes it. I had a problem with it feeling too heavy at the beginning but now I can have small amounts. I love egg beaters. and premier Proteins are my main source for protein. Do a "sancocho" and the broth of that gotta be super good.

      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
