Is Anyone else Absolutely Obsessed with......



Recommended Posts

This forum and everything "sleeve"? I am such a couch potato but find myself constantly researching, thinking and chatting about my upcoming surgery. I literally can't get enough of watching Youtube, reading forums and blogs and listening (Dr. Alverez podcast {obesitychat} every Monday)to everyone and everything sleeve. I feel like I'm going crazy and it's making me even more anxious for my surgery on 6/30. I tell myself every night, I am going to watch t.v. and not think about it but it's like I can't help it. I reach for my Mac instead of my remote control. I find myself even logging in here while I'm at work. smh

I hate to keep mentioning my surgery date with everything I post, does anyone know how I can add my surgery date to the information under my blank picture?

Hey Fellow Addict!

You're in great company, and you're not in the kitchen! Boo-ya!

To add your surgery info, click the your username in the upper right corner, then click "My Surgery" and you can add as much info about it as you would like to share.

Best wishes!

lol ziggybang or should I say Addict #2? lol

Thanks for the information. I will try it. Most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS on your 71 lb. weight loss in just 5 months. Wow. You really inspire me as I thought people who were 250+ pounds would lose so much so quickly. I am a few pounds more than your starting weight. How the heck did you manage to loss so much so quickly? I thought people under 250 would lose but lose but nowhere near that quick. There is hope for me yet!!! You go girlllll!!!

I tried your suggestion but was taken to my surgery page where I had entered all the information on the first day I signed on. Oh well, I will figure it out one day. Thanks again.

      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
