I looked up steatosis and that is fatty liver right? Well duh, I am thinking that we will have that fatty liver until we lose more weight and we are no longer obese?

liver was normal before surgery. Dr said it was from malnutrition. I have got to get more protein/calories in with out burning them all during Cardio.. my weight today is 152 pounds.

I am not sure about my liver lately, but I know back in 2007, I was diagnosed with a fatty liver.

When I had my post-op labs, my doctor knew right away I was not drinking the amount of Water he wants.

What are the labs called (name of test) that check for fatty liver? Is it creatinine?

So I have lost about 40lbs total and today in front of like six people someone said, you have lost a lot of weight, and they stood there looking at me. I wanted to run and hide. Took me by surprise and I didn't know what to say. I was embarrassed for the first time for losing weight and not for being fat. I guess I need to learn how to take a compliment in a group setting.

Abs I would have felt more confident if I had your belly band on. What's the tattoo on your ankle? My initials?

She is active on MFP. I think she was disappointed with a stall. She has had to get more active and eat more. She was trying to limit calories, but her body was fighting back wanting Protein and more fluids and activity.

I had my first 4 week checkup yesterday. Down 17.4 pounds since surgery, I was kinda bummed that it wasn't more. He told me to throw away my scale, that I should be judging my weight loss by how my clothes fit and how I feel and that he doesn't pay much attention to the amount that has been lost in a month, he only uses the scale to see a trend.

That is such great advice. I just got through a bit of a stall - I'd not seen a drop for about 6 days. But I could feel my body change, and I actually fit in some pants that I'd not worn in two years. Glad I saved 'em!

Thanks to you guys, I tried a little carb hit and that jumped me out of stasis.

Just went through some family horrors, and am so glad I got sleeved. This is exactly the kind of thing I used to eat my way through, but food is no longer the center of comfort for me.

      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.
