On Tuesday I'll be three weeks post op RNY. I've lost 31 pounds so far, pre and post op.

I went to a luncheon with old co-workers Friday, many complimented me on my weight loss. I heard the same from a neighbor and some folks at church. Wow, what an awesome feeling!! (And all I tell people when they ask what I've done is eat less).

I'm already down a bra size (band, not cup).

I'm a person who always had an overactive bladder. I'd always be searching for a bathroom wherever we went. Since surgery, that's gone. I can run my errands without visiting every toilet known to man.

I'm doing well on purees, no nausea, vomiting, stuck or foamies.

I go back to work on Monday and start a new position.

I'm loving my life even more right now!!

Congrats to all of you ladies. This gives me so much inspiration as I will be having surgery on June 5th. There is NO doubt that I am sticking this out now and forever. Reading your posts helps me know that there is hope for my achy knees, loss of energy, headaches(high blood pressure), cpap machine and taking all of these medicines (diabetes high cholesteral)...

THANK YOU for sharing and keeping us updated. I enjoy all of the reads good thoughts and not so great thoughts.

      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.
