Hello!

My surgery was the same day as yours and our weight is almost exactly the same. How are you doing?

Hey there...always glad to know we're never alone. I am doing ok, reading the posts I keep thinking myself lucky as I had no real big pains. And, I hope that you are doing well. Know this is going to be a big big change in our lives. Had my 1 week check up and the Doc was happy and moved me to soft foods so need to do some good thoughts as to not get too bored. I struggle to get in all my fluids so I need to get better on that. Keep me posted.

So tell me if I'm just being a big baby here or not. I have been following the food plan my doctor said stay on, still trying to get in all my Water according to my fit bit I'm taking in usually less than 400 calorie with Protein shakes and 1/4 a sugar free Jello (bleh). But I haven't lost any weight in 4 days now. I almost cried last night when my parents and my son sat down to a huge pizza. I didn't really want it because I knew it would hurt, but the smell made me insane. I almost CRIED, OVER PIZZA! What heck is wrong with me? Should I already be having a stall? Tomorrow will be two week surgiversary and I'm stalling? Frustration reigns today, think I'll go over here in the corner with my Water bottle and pout. That will make it better.

Still feeling like my loss is super slow, I have to stop comparing myself to others. I'm just getting frustrated when I think the scale should move faster. I am fitting into smaller sizes and I feel better, so I really have nothing to complain about.

I have a question for everyone, is anyone else having trouble eating solid foods still? if its not super squishy, I get sick. And rice, I used to love rice, it turns foamy and makes me violently sick, anyone else notice this kind of weirdness?

Hello!

WOW you have lost way more then me so I wouldn't say you are moving slow. I still have a hard time eating period! I can't drink my Protein Shakes cuz they make me ill. I am still pretty miserable and am not really seeing any benefits from it. How's that for whining!

        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
