Recommended Posts

I'm 12 days post op and down 10 pounds. But my concern is I'm not getting my Protein bc frankly it's disgusting and I can't stand it and second my chewable multi Vitamin is also nasty. I have no appetite and I just feel blaaaah!!

Try Bariatric Advantage EA Multi Vitamins; They taste like sweet tarts!

Also Adkins ready to drink Protein Shakes are pretty darn good!

So.... It has been 3 weeks post op. How is everyone doing?

I have heard sooooo much about the 3 week stall that I have decided to put my scale away starting tomorrow... Just for about 1.5 weeks. I am one of those ppl who will stress over not seeing it move.

I actually get my BA from my Dr's office, but it's the same price online.

I am so happy to announce that I put my scale away this morning.... After getting on it of course. I am a everyday weigher and I have decided not to get back on the scale for 2 weeks. So I "hope" I can stick to it. I figured this would be the perfect time because of the "3 week stall" talk among the boards.

I just hope that the scale moves a little while I'm on hiatus.

Hey guys! I've been having nausea really bad for about a week and I'm thinking my stomach wasn't ready for soft foods yet so I switched back to full liquids for now. I have a really sensitive stomach to begin with so I'm okay with it as long as I don't feel so sick! As of a few days ago I've lost 22 pounds total, woohoo!

      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
