I gotta tell us I tried a cup of sugar free Jello yesterday and it took me over an hour!! It's shocking.

Ya* not us. Spell check is making me so mad lately ????

I had mine done on Tuesday in Springfield Illinois. I think I'm doing okay so far *knock on wood*

Still sore across my upper belly like a tight belt but nothing Tramadol (spell?) can't handle.

Thought I would check in today.. had my first follow up appointment yesterday- things going well. Healing good. Losing weight.

Yesterday was tricky though since it was out of my normal routine I found it really hard to keep track of my fluids Vitamins and Protein drinks!! Making it priority today. I am feeling blah and not sure what it is. Or maybe I do...

I have 5 kids (2 toddlers and 3 teenagers.) Few days ago our basement flooded (pump broke) ruined the AC circuit board so no AC for like 4 days now...have window AC put in and sheets nailed up over the doorways ways to keep the first floor cool though. AC guy supposed to come today. I cant keep up with the house as I am still sore and cant exactly able to move like used to. Husband been spending his time fixing the pump cleaning up basement back and forth to the stores to get parts...when he was supposed to take over MY job and deal with the kids while im in recovery so I don't have have too much stress to worry about but that has not been happening. We have all been confined to the first floor and im about to pull hair. I'm hoping this gets easier down the road :/

Still no regrets though. :)

Well it's been 9 months almost and I am doing good no complications my hunger has returned but no where near what it used to be. I don't have any major dumping issues so I still have to hold myself accountable what I put in my mouth. Trick is not grazing all day long. Stick with my scheduled eating. I'm now weighing in 145 lbs. I have been slacking on working out as my work outs usually involve being outside and I am in the midwest so ..... self explanatory. I will be picking back up soon I am now out of the overweight range. My ultimate goal was 130 so I'm still aiming for that by end of summer hopefully. Hope everyone is doing well and had a good Easter with your families and friends . :)

      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.
