I am on the other side!

Just took a walk down the hallway, first one. Sitting up in a chair and so tired it's hard to keep eyes open.

I did GREAT! If it weren't for the new stomach hurting I would have no pain at all.

Thank you for all the best wishes they sure have worked wonders.

Morning @@#9grammy! The fact that you can end that report by saying you're heading out for a walk just shows how strong you are internally. No amount of pain is going to keep you down; you've got this!

@@The Candidate thank you. But let me keep it in perspective. I lost 15 in the preop & 10 post sugery but at the end of the day 25 is 25!! So I am happy.

@@#9grammy I agree w/candidate. I couldn't communicate the first three days. Hang in there, my first week was difficult.i am in week two & feel so much better.

Has anyone talked to vsglady? I haven't heard from her since her surgery, a little concerned.

Hey girls! I've been gone for a few days because my cousin's husband is at mayo dying of multiple myeloma cancer and it has been just awful. It makes me happy to see all of the successes going on here, so Congrats to all the new sleevers! Happy I lost another 2 lbs and it's getting much easier as far as tracking my food and getting my daily steps in. I'm still loving my Jawbone Up24 fitness armband. Thanks for telling me how to get my ticker too. I've got to get to bed early because, I'm exhausted. Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi everyone, just found this and would love to be a part of the group!

I'm 53, was sleeved 9/16 ... 6 weeks yesterday . It's been a roller-coaster for me, but my only regret is not having this surgery earlier!!!

I'm in my 2nd stall already, but I'm ok with that. I just keep focusing on the big picture. I'm down 41.5 lbs including my 2 week pre- op diet. I haven't been under 200 in over 8 years and I'm 7.5lbs away and already my BMI went from 45 ( morbidly obese) to 38 (never thought I'd be happy to be Obese) LOL

      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.
