Hey everybody. I'm 12 weeks post op. My surgery was January 13 and I have lost 69 pounds since then. I have a check up tomorrow so I'll dibs out how much I've lost. I feel like I've been doing well with walking and working out. But right now I feel like my cravings are coming back. I can only eat 3oz of food right now. And my stomach can't handle more cause I get sick. I've been keeping up with my protien intake and Water. But I am craving crunchy in my life! I want crackers or chips or something. Any suggestions. I heard something about kale chips. I'm do worried because the last thing I want to do its go back to being over 500lbs. Btw on the day I had surgery I was 542lbs. Last doctor's appointment I was 473. So I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. Anyways. Help a sister out.

Hi! I'm new here. I've been browsing for support groups as I am considering wls. My 1st consultation is 4/27/15. I'm more excited than nervous. I'm sure my nerves will become greater as I get closer to surgery. I'm sure I'll qualify because of my weight. Any suggestions for support groups on FB, instagram, etc or support groups period? Lol

And congrats on your recent weight loss! Keep up the good work!

      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.
