Thank you Krystal0528 =) Congrats 2 you i was in the hospital for 3 days my sugar was a bit out of wack my potassium was low and i had a bit of fever, but i'm glad ur home, fluids and Protein were hard for me as well i actually could not even stand the smell of the shakes after surgery never mind the taste and it lasted a few months but got better as months went by i still can't finish a whole shake once i open it soo i get as much protein as i can through meats, egg, cheese, yogurts etc i had to be patient and just let my body adjust i literally felt like a preggo the first maybe 3 months lol, the smell of certain foods, the taste, weakness, dizziness even me myself i felt that as i was going through the (ketosis phase) i didn't understand why the smell of my breath had changed i felt soo bad everytime i had to talk to someone up close, i just felt like overall my body smelled different if that makes any sense but i had my husband reminding me constantly "no worries honey in a few months from now you'll look back and see that it has all past and all was worth it" and sure enough it has passed, it is behind me and i am a completely NEW person, my advice one day at a time, stay active, get used to carrying a bottle of Water everywhere you go and remember no 2 bodies are the same so don't compare urself to others, patience patience patience just focus and do u, stalls will come just keep doing what you gotta do they will break through =) take care and Congrats again!

Hii betterbeginnings and welcome i can honestly say that from my part the only regret i have is the "why didn't i do this sooner" i mean i'm still young but i feel i lost soo much time being and feeling sick, feeling miserable, stuck for 15+ years not being able to enjoy life, unhealthy with poor self esteem and could have done so much more with my kids and family but i am thankful that i did it because it has been like a new beginning new life and i wouldn't change it for the world =)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
