@ me too...I keep hearing about people losing 15 to 20 pounds their first week . I am getting a little down about it. I just weighed and today is day 11 and I am down 9 pounds. I am trying to focus on the fact that I am going down but it is hard not to get caught up on that number!! And I think my body must be in starvation mode. I feel like I am living on about 350 calories a day. How are you doing with your Fluid intake? I get my Protein in okay but can't seem to get much Water in. And I have barely moved around. Kevin is making me go to the grocery with him today and get moving.

Me too. Protein shakes! Preop diet has been difficult this weekend. We are taking the kids to pumpkin patch today = kettle corn, hot apple cider, apple cider donuts. It will be difficult but I will get through it. Day 12... The broth, veggies and hard boiled egg have save me. Thank goodness my Nut allowed that. But for last two days I will do diet just as I did the 1st 7 days.

I'm feeling much better today, just kinda blah. I am ready to go home. I'm tired of sipping Water. I hope I did the right thing. Anyone else think this way?

Quick hello to everyone having surgery with me tomorrow- I share the knot in your stomach and happy yet nervous feeling of butterflies. But as Ron says, we got this!

The first week I thought like that all the time. Second week it is getting farther from my mind. As we can start to eat normal food and a little more, I think it won't be as bad!

Well I am only week 2, but hit my first stall. I have weighed the same for three days. I am trying not to get upset about it, because I've heard all the stories about them from others. But it's hard to not think that this isn't going to work! Ugh!

@@thinner-me I feel you. I am scared to death of my first stall. I am only seeing 1/4 to1/2 pound weight loss per day and the thought of a stall is terrifying. But we all know it is a reality we will get thru. Hang in there. This too shall pass and this time next year we will all be laughing about how silly and whiney we were! We should try to do something like 1 one year get together or something for anyone interested in our October family!!!

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Eating what I'm supposed to and walk daily. I suppose it will move eventually! Just annoying!

      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.
