Hi all, I have regained 60lbs. I am 5 years out and need someone as supportive as I can be. I was thinking text, maybe phone calls, FB? I need a kick in my a@@ to get my head in the game. I'm addicted to slider foods :( I'm new here so I don't know how to friend people or search so well yet! Please, if God is leading you to me and vice versa, let's get in contact! I'm 42, live in bako, ca. Married, have a 21 year old son in the Army and a 4 year old miracle daughter. Look forward to meeting some new friends! Oh and I like long walks on the beach....ok maybe not long...like 5 minutes?

Hi I am from Cali originally! I am willing to talk to you and help you get back on track. I have many co-workers that have gained back weight. This is why I delayed my surgery. I finally have done it and they are giving me great advice so that I don't do what they did. You need encouragement with good ideas to try new foods that you haven't had. New foods with good flavor and not have to be bad for you. Lets figure out the program and keep in touch! don't be afraid to post any questions here on the site I usually get several suggestions when I ask.

Hi if you sign in and check at the top of the screen. When you click on your name it shows you different things you can set up for your profile. Just to the right there is a box and shows friends. I sent you a personal note so it might be there now and you just don't know its there. Keep looking around and you will find your way. If I didn't get the request to you please click up there and send me a request. :-)

I sure hope you find the encouragement on this web site that you need. I am just about 10 weeks out now. I am learning more and more each day. Play around with the site and see if you can find the nutrition section. There is a post for people are trying to start over. I wish you the best of luck. I feel the best I have in years! oh and Congrats on your miracle child! I know what its like to have a hard time to have a child. I had 8 miscarriages. I too was lucky and got my miracle daughter who is 18 now. I thank God every day for the people I get to talk to.

        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
