I'm doing great! I haven't walked as much as I had planned, I'm working on that. My temptations are winning, I ate a couple of potato chips. Shame on me....and I felt bad after I ate them. No will power here. The grandkids are just going to have to take their treats home with them. LOL I have diarrhea about 30 min after drinking the Protein Drink or broth. Just wondering if this is normal. I see the surgeon this Thursday. I've only lost about 14 pounds but 35 inches!

@@charlotteweb Did you doctor recommend you sleep on your back? I don't think I could do that either. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Have you started walking yet? I'm on my way out the door now to take a little evening walk with my 8 year old granddaughter. Love our time together. Good luck.

      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.
