Pictures Of Me

Fun pictures. Your dimples are so cute. I can really see the weight loss in your face. Take good care of your incision that isn't healing as well.

Those are good pictures, I have spent a lot of time online looking at others journey pictures. The one of you squeezing your upper arm made me laugh, I do that too when looking in the mirror! It's usually in disgust at myself, but now that I have the band, I'm hopeful I'll wave it goodbye, instead of it waving long after I've stopped moving!

I too had an allergic reaction on my abdomen and IV site hand, i'm not sure if it was the tape, or what ever they used to sterilize me pre-op.

I bought a small bottle of tea tree oil and massaged it on my whole stomach 2-3 times a day, and in a week it was all healed. It also helped my wounds heal nicely. It has antibiotic properties, and anti-viral properties. It doesn't burn, but it has kind of a strong medicinal smell. You can look into online and see if it's of interest to you. It cost me $12 for a small bottle at GNC (health & nutrition store)

Congrats on the weight loss, great smile and cute man!

        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.

      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
