2 month check in



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!! Been awhile since I posted but just wanted to jump on and give an update. I had my surgery 8-30-15 I was 379Lbs at time of surgery. I was 391 before that. Anyway I am now 2 months out and as of Monday 11-2-15 I am 310!!! I weigh myself once a week and once a week only! I have read countless post about people getting upset with weight and then you find out the check it everyday. Our bodys fluctuate day to day so the one thing I can say to those considering getting the surgery and those fresh out of it is DO NOT CHECK EVERYDAY, give yourself some time and do it once a week right in the morning when you get up and set a goal to be lower then that on next weigh. It gives you little goals and makes sure you stay focused on doing the right things so you can hit that mark. Like many have said this is not a magic bullet it is just a tool and will need your participation to get the maximum benefit. Well good luck everyone and I will check back in soon!!

      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.

      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.
