I am 7 weeks post-op and just received my 2nd fill. A little nervous when it was time to get on the scale. In In the past I would be ashamed of how much I had gained. Today I was nervous of how much I had lost. My appt. went well today bp 115/75 and I was down 8 pounds. I was told to try to get at least 30mins of exercise a day. NP says it can be 30 mins, (2) 15 mins, or (3) 10 mins. I have a 10cc band.....1st fill was 2cc and today she added another 1.5cc making that a total of 3.5 cc in my band. How do you handle the doubting that you chose the right surgery? Oh yeah she told me to eat more im averaging about 500-600 daily, she wants me around 1000. Before my fill for the last two days I was having a slight headache and eating more than usual. My NP says that those where small signs that I needed a fill. Now onto losing more weight and praying for NO stalls along the way. Loving my band and my new life!!!

Why spend time doubting or getting worked up over past decisions. You're banded now, make it work for you. Don't compare your journey to others who may have a different WLS. Sometimes it seems like on Bariatric Pal the sleevers and Bypass folks are all successful and skinny. There are many on both of those boards who are struggling and questioning their own decisions. You've lost 43 lbs and that's something to crow about :D

        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.

      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
