I'm not doing well on stage 2 foods right now. I have only been able to drink a little Protein Shake and some Water most of the day. I have been stressed and devastated since Friday when I lost my mother during open heart surgery. I know she would yell at me for not trying to eat like I'm supposed to so I'm going to try to do better tomorrow.

Oh my I am so sorry for your loss. Keep moving forward! Your mother wouldn't want it any other way! God has a plan for us all. Your life is just beginning don't hault it! again I am very sorry.

Hi Amy,

Sorry to hear the passing of your mother, sadly we go through seasons of life but it will pass in time. However I admire your spirit that you will try again tomorrow. You can do this!

Amy I am sorry for your loss.

Don't know if any of you on here are also on Facebook. There is a closed group on facebook called BariBuddies that started from the people on this board if you'd like to join. It's a little easier to navigate. Look for the picture of the girl with the open arms.

I like staying in touch but this board seems hard to keep up with.

Woke up feeling great. Thought I would be able to get things done today. By noon I was gripping my tummy and I had only taken a nap. I hate when I get tricked like that. I mean I felt like me. The old me! I have lost 23 pounds in 2 weeks. 9 pounds since surgery. Really happy about this choice even with the pain.

@@Amy Carter I'm truly sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing someone so close. My prayers are with you and your family.

Try cream Soups. Me and Protein shakes have not been getting along either. They make me nauseous.

Has anyone experienced the Hair loss? If you have, were you able to eat right? If you haven't, what were you doing? Just trying to make sure I keep most of mine. I barely have any anyway!

No hair loss at two weeks post opt. I don't know that I get enough Protein, but I take an awesome Multivitamin that is super packed with Biotin and some zinc, my surgeon said it will help with hair loss.

I had Hair loss prior to the surgery and of course it continues today. I take Biotin 5000 that I picked up from Walmart. I believe the bottle was around 7.00. I do have hair growing back in.

I'm officially on stage 3 foods!!!! I'm down 12 pounds since surgery. I'm happy and my doctor is very happy. I go back in a month instead of in 2 weeks like most of his patients. I think I'll try scrambled eggs for Breakfast.< /p>

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
