Hi Rachel,

Glad to hear everything went great for you too! Like Kristi says, walk, walk, walk! Get those juices flowing and get back to the grind, only of losing weight now instead of gaining.

As Kristi also said, weight loss is minimal until we get that first fill. Mine is May 15, but even without the fill, I am losing and seeing a big difference in the front and rear end of me!!! Feeling, good, clothes fitting better, and I am ready for a new wardrobe.

Where do you go for your fills?

Take good care,

Peggy

How is everyone doing? Two weeks post op and doing pretty good.

Had a minor stuck event this evening but the food passed. Definitely have to chew it well!! It was the first time I felt a restriction when swallowing! I was eating cut up chicken but not puréed so it was my own fault. Fortunately it passed within a min or two.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hi All,

Hasn't been much activity on this post for awhile! How is everyone doing? We should all be healed and on our way to losing a few here and there. Have been stuck in this 221, 222, pounds for over a week. Had my first fill on May 15th and can't say I'm feeling full after two or three bites. Have had the food stuck after going down my throat, hurt for a while, then it went down. Other than that, have not been exercising like I should, maybe it's time to really kick that in gear, maybe it will get me under the 220 mark and put me in the teens!

Stay in good health.

Peggy

I'm hanging in there. Not much true hunger but some mental hunger. Down 39 from the start of this process and 14 from surgery. I have my first full in week. I'm back to the gym but not doing abs yet. I do best on my days off, at work I think about food more! Strange

Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend!

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.

I'm down 22 lbs from surgery, 48 total. I did have a complication though....I developed gall stones and had to urgently have my GB out. 2 surgeries in less then 7 weeks is not fun! I had just gotten back to 100% and then had this. But I will say the GB surgery was easier and I could resume my regular LB diet.

Hope all is well!

      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
