You are making the right step to a healthier you! My step daughter lives in Norway in Kristiansund ! I bet you know where that is since it's on the western coast. I have not been there but will like to do some day. My husband has been there many years ago visiting his daughter.

I have not had the surgery yet but will soon. Trying to decide a gastric bypass or the sleeve.

Good luck on your journey! Lisa

One week to go. The weight loss has seemed to stopped up a bit, but no worries. I'm going all liquid now. The last week its all shakes, but no rattle and roll :P

I'm getting really nervous for some reason, and I can not keep focused on work. My mind constantly driftes. Guess it's natural though, but annoying even so.

Had a nice hike yesterday, with the wife, kids and dog. 6km walk along the sea. Even though it really rained in the end, it was nice.
One thing i'm really looking forward to post op, is to buy a new gore tex jacket. The one i have is not waterproof any more. Dont know if it was me or the dog that was most wet yesterday, and the dog went for a swim.

My daughter ( I have twins that are turning 9 ) asked me yesterday if i was looking forward to buying new clothes. I had to be honest and told her that I don't like shopping for clothes, but I guess i had to when daddy gets his "tiny tummy". She looked at me with all the wisdom of a 8 and 3/4 year old girl, and said " daddy, don't worry, i can shop for you" :lol: So she will be my fashion consultant. My son ( the other part of the dynamic duo) could not see the joy of shopping for clothes.

Sorry for the ramblings, but its kinda good to put the thoughts down on, well not paper i guess, but in writing. :blush:

@@bellabill I know where Kristiansund is. Its a good 600 km further north. Been on the airport there twice.

We are getting closer and closer. The nervousness is kinda gone. I just wanna get it over with now, and start the real work after surgery. This feels like my first deployment as a soldier. Months and months of preparing, training body and mind, and the last few days before is long and full of thoughts. Well, Sir, this not so old soldier is ready Sir. Boots are laced, bags are packed.

Hi all. I have'nt been her for a while. Time has just flown. Had my surgery, and everything went well. No pain, no complication. I had no problems afterwards either. Some pain if i eat to fast, but thats the only thing. I was in for my three month check up, and I have lost 36 kg since my first weigh in at the surgeon.

I have gone down two sizes in shirts , and gone from 42 inch to 38 inch in jeans. I'm starting at the gym again, and are of to work out in about an hour :)

        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
