@, I am part of the Facebook group as well. I don't believe that everyone in the Fb group is a member of this group. Sometimes questions or suggestions are mentioned in that group that I don't see Here, Since I'm so early in this weight loss journey, I'll take all the help I can get. Honestly, it does get a bit much going from Facebook to BP but at the end of the day it's worth it

@@Kathy812 If it wasn't for My Fitness Pal - I wouldn't have the patience to track all my calories and Protein etc. It is really a great tool-highly recommend trying it. Also it's nice that you can share logs with friends to see how they are doing. Well, even though I am eating alot of calories, I still seem to be averaging about 3 lbs a week weight loss so I guess I should be happy with that. Maybe because I keep my carbs below 30 grams a day.

If you decide to join My Fitness Pal - add me as a friend and I'll share my food diary .

Celebrating Belly bgone! So far I admit this hasn't been an easy journey but everyday I Celebrate how much easier everything is with 8 inches of bellyfat gone in just 6 weeks !! Clothes fit better - I can breathe easier - I can bend over and tie my shoes - I no longer look like I'm carrying twins at 9 months ---it just feels so good! Looking forward to losing alot more!!

Also focusing on inches instead of weight only is helping me keep perspective (especially those days when the scale isn't moving).

Hello sleeve friends, I am looking for a friend to visit with to go thru this walk with me! I did not have good support from my surgeon. I am not losing weight. All they said was stick to your plan or you will fail. Well, I feel like I have failed already, 3 weeks out????. I am not being negative, just needing ideals.

What is your plan? I am a little over a month out. I am feeling pretty good and losing pretty well. I can send you the plan my doctor gave me. Did they have you meet with a nutritionist? Is there one available you could meet with? There is lots of support on this forum. Hang in there. :)

I met with a dietitian at the hosp. He gave me very little info. I was there about 30 min. I thought I this under control, but I don't!

      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.
