Yea I think day 3 is good most say, I'm sticking to Soup it seems to agree with my new stomach more than Water, I take a few sips here and there...like I said we are going to get through it this is just temporary!!!

I was out and about yesterday I didnt get a chance to get on until now, I think the nausea has passed YAAAYYY, I'm still sipping Soup w/protein and crystal light with Protein which is very nasty so I won't be doing that again, the chicken broth is the only Protein I have been able to tolerate I have my first appointment on tomorrow...I am back to work good thing I sit all day, cuz I would not be here, I don;t have enough leave to stay home, but I am feeling better and the last I looked at the scale I have dropped a total of 17 pounds, I'll take it, I dont see any difference but in my face woo-hoo!! Still a little gassy but the Gas-X takes care of that I can't wait to go home though and climb into my bed I have brought a measuring cup to work so that I can stay on track I feel like I do way better at work than at home because my kids do not give me a break and I often get distracted tending to them and even with another person in the house to assist them they still want "Mom" to do it, ugh...one day at a time I know it will get better and this will all be worth it!!!

Congratulations, that's so awesome! Your doing great. Yes, it's totally a day by day thing. You sound our your adjusting well back into a regular routine. I understand your kids needing help with everything, my kids want to be all over me and it's so hard not to pick them up, but my decision was to make sure I'm always here to pick them up, run, or anything with them.. Keep up the good work, x's!

I share your pain and pray that God helps you through this, I recently lost my mother in January she died of heart disease she had multiple other illnesses high blood pressure, diabetes, GERD, COPD, ulcer and morbidly obese. We both lived care free lives not putting to much thought into being healthy. After all I knew many of plus size women right? But it took my mother's death and not just that but actually reading her extremely thick medical record for my own wake up call. So here I am determined and often reminded of her as I'm often reminded of health and how hers could of improved had she had a surgery like this. But God knows best. Be encouraged your not alone

        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
