When I told my husband of my plans on getting sleeved..He also had a stupid remark.." ..join a gym if you want to lose weight.." I told him I would after having surgery..lol. After talking some more..He was afraid...He read and heard others having WLS getting sick and always throwing up. I told that happens because they are not using their tool correctly. For a tool to work properly, the instructions must be followed correctly no short cuts... I'm starting my journey no matter what people say..This is for me, myself and I!

Tell Hubby that you can't believe he is so lazy that he has to drive a car to get somewhere........

It's a tool....A means to and end.!! No different than a car. Sure.........the ole fashioned way will work. If you actually can tolerate it. I no longer can. Why not? I don't know. What I do know is I don't have another lifetime to figure it out or change. I need the weight gone now. And I will use whatever I can. Nuf said about How to lose it.

Now, about other people's imput. Who cares. It's your life. And you're the one that has to live it. However I lose the weight, I will obtain the same benefits of MY improved lifestyle regardless of what anyone else had to say about it or how I went about doing it. Make your own decisions and tune out and avoid the negative. ;)

Love this response.! Yes, it's a means to an end! It's one way to your desired result. Your choice! Just like having a baby, with pain or not (epideral) sp. Either way the baby is coming out It's your choice how u go about it.

Maybe the remark was a nervous reaction to the whole situation. We all say dumb stuff. As long as he is cool now and you set him straight. It's all good.

I can't believe the dr pushed h diet pills on you vs the wls. Adding more chemicals to your system... nobody needs that.

I'm struggling with a 1200 calorie diet right now. I thought I was making a healthy Breakfast w/ an omelet with spinach, mushroom and a little ham and whole wheat toast and more than half of my calories for the day. Who knew egg had 67 gm of sodium?

This is in NO WAY an easy way to go.

You're doing what's good for you. Don't let anyone make you feel bad. I'm not telling too many people because I don't need any horror stories or sarcasm. The only thing I'm saying is I'm on a 1200 cal diet. I get enough crap from that lol.

Good luck and if you need any encouragement please come here. . Good luck

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
