Glad to see this thread. I am nine pounds from goal and am empty from fills for the first time. Had problems with getting way to tight after having fill for several weeks and getting unfills so thought I would give it a rest for a little while. Have been maintaining for almost a month now but will watch it very closely. I know there are a lot more of us close to goal.:lol:

I am 23 pounds from goal and it is going so slow now it may be next year before I get lol, well in my own defense I had to have surgery the other day and whenever I have any type of surgery it is like my body freaks out and I actually gained a few pounds but lost them again but it just got me back to where I was before. It got my hair to start coming out again, not as bad as before but it gives creedence to anesthesia being the cause because I am not lacking in Protein.< /p>

Wow Mandy that would suck, I didnt have to have an unfill but I will tell you that I was super tight after surgery due to swelling and still gained weight but lost it back. It has been a month or so and I am really still a little swelled, my surgery wasnt as extensive as yours but I went thru alot and went thru alot of biopsies and the swelling really does affect how tight I am. So as much as it may suck it may have been a blessing in disguise. Just food for thought.

I had to purchase some pajamas for my hospital stay. When I bought jammies for my band surgery I got XXL and they were snug. This time (2 years later) I was able to get med, and they fit, even after surgery with the swelling I have. WooHoo!! ~Mandy

Yay.

This is just what we need. I'm down inside my healthy weight range but would ideally love to lose 14lb more. My bum is still too big, lol.

        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.

      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
