I'm jotted down all your ideas. The picture thing is great advice because I hate pictures of myself. So that will be a nice thing to look back on. Plus logging the supplements. Have you tried the Vitamin Patch? My stomach tends to get upset whenever I take Vitamins so I'm really worried about taking vitamins. But one of my other site buddies told me about the patch. And I'm going to order B-12 shots. Yay!!! Again congratulations and thank you!

You totally just inspired me. Before your surgery we are same stats across the board. My surgery is in less than 3 weeks. Thank you for posting. You look amazing and it sounds like you feel great too.

I had my surgery on June 15, I have gotten sick a total of 4 times since coming home from the hospital. I can eat just about anything (no bread at all!!) my stomach lets me know when I am about full and I stop. I have 3 teenaged girls and a one year old grandson. I run a small in home daycare, I work about 60 hours a week. Looks like we mirror each other in a lot of ways. Congrats and hope you enjoy the ride!!

Thanks. I have not tried the patch. I take Beyond Tangy Tangerine. It has prebiotics and Probiotics in it. It's a powder that I mix with Florida's Lit and Fit OJ. When I forget it I keep some vits with me that I got from my surgeons office. I also take chewable Calcium plus Vitamin D daily.

I forgot mention that I walk in place or do leg lifts when getting ready and cleaning. That helps me get in my steps. ????????

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
