HW 336

SW 312

CW 270

My surgery was July 23, I'm a little over 8 weeks out. I feel amazing but I keep having stalls, for 2 weeks at a time. It's frustrating. I'm down from a size 34 to a 24 and from a 5 x to a very loose 3x shirt.

@@mamie60 and @@pik - hey!!!! I am doing well! My eating is faaaar from where it should be, so I need to get better with that. I've also lost focus on keeping up with my Vitamins and other supplements. I think I got to a point where I spend so much time thinking about what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what pill to take a what time, blah blah blah. I'm due to see my doctor and nutritionist later today for my follow up, and I fully expect to get scolded for my behavior. Mentally, it's been a bit tough because there are so many stressful things that have happened in the last 60 days - it's truly shown me how much of my eating is mental. Luckily, I still can only eat about 1/2-3/4 cup at any one sitting, and I try to keep myself moving so I don't have enough time to think about all the crap going on. I hit my 60 pounds down mark today and am glad about that. I'm sure it could have been more had my eating and intake been better, but I'm happy with where I am. I've also noticed that the faster I lose, the more I look like a melted candle - not cute! LOL Physically - I feel fabulous! Lots of energy and have been doing more walking than I used to - another happy point. So for now, I'm good. Hopeful to when things can settle down and some of the stress ease up :-)

You know I am lucky to get in my Multivitamins every day and I am surely not getting the calories, Protein, and liquid that I need. I am having another endoscopy next week some time. Hopefully we can work this all out!!

Pik, I am really worried about you. I was just in the hospital for 4 days because I couldn't eat or drink. And, just before that visit, I was in the hospital. My dr. Takes it very seriously if you can't eat or drink. They gave me I.V. Fluids and Vitamins around the clock. Don't let yourself get dehydrated, you could end up in intensive care. Don't hesitate to go to the ER, they can give you fluids if you are dehydrated. Just worried about you. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

      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.
