Finally hit the gym and feel great. How is everyone else doing?

It feels so good to be moving. But man! I am out of shape!
I'm trying to go back today but I'm nervous because I also had a hernia repair. Afraid of over doing it.

Has anyone had any stalls last week and this week? I have been fluctuating between 236-234! Start wt was 260.

This is my first week where I have stalled and I feel so sleepy and nothing is working right.

Having trouble drinking Water... it gets stuck and hurts going down. I have only been able to get 1 Protein shake down a day.

The only thing that settles is cheese so now I'm scared I'm going to constipated myself.

I keep reminding myslef. ... each day is a new day.

My doctor warned me that after about 5 to 6 weeks my hiatal hernia repair would bother me again because it eventual firms up and then it's hard to swallow things. It's week 7 for me and it happened exactly like he said. It's just finishing up healing.

Excellent news then, you're progressing well!

A few days ago, I had to lay flat onto a table to have a body scan. Before that day I had been obsessing about GERDS and getting worked up like I do when I let my anxieties take over. So I thought for sure I'd lie down and all this Fluid would come gushing up my throat because I had been drinking Water in the lobby.

NOTHING happened. =) My LES was closed tightly. The scan took about 13 minutes so if it was going to happen I was thinking it should have. I could even feel blood rushing to my face, that is how flat I was.

I had a hernia repair as well, so I think we have both come out of it nicely! Perhaps what I was feeling was my repair, not only did I require a repair, but scar tissue from a previous banding had to be cut off and that has been healing.

Silly me. Praise GOD!

      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. 🤞
