Oh I meant to ask what kind of Fiber do you take? Since I can't go I've been taking dulcalax daily and I don't know if at some point it will have a negative effect on my body, so Fiber seems like a safer option

This is what I take daily to be regulated.

Hello 2/9ers!! It's been 10 months for us and it does not seem like it's been 10 months to me. We are all thinner, healthier, and happier!!

Successes: More active & smile more

Areas to work on: Eating out & limiting carbs

Currently, 10 pounds from my goal weight.

How is everyone doing??

Hi Positive, you are right it does not seem like 10 months man has time flown....glad to see that you are doing well...things that I need to work on: omitting my 1 piece of candy a day and exercising consistently. I am about 50 pounds from goal and it's taking forever to get there. The weight is definitely coming off really slow.

Hi 2/9ers how's everyone? Our group is so quiet these days so today I finally admitted that I think I'm bigger than I really am, anyone else struggling with this. I was shopping and once again I picked up the bigger size, my spouse just laughs. But I also had a non scale victory, I am in a size 12 woohooo now to some this may not be a big deal to some but I have always been very curvy so I had to purchase jeans in a larger size and who would have thunk that a 12 would get over my butt and thighs

I always think I'm fat and now that I'm eating whatever... if I gain a pound or feel bloated I feel even worse. Then I'll weigh myself the next day and didn't gain at all. Actually it's kinda scary.

Shopping I can pick up a size small shirt in most things and not try it on and it look great on me. Size 6 is safe on the bottom. Some are too big and I need a 4. You would think I would be happy with that, but I'm not. I think my stomach is fat most days, but it's mostly just bloated because I don't poop everyday like I should.

Bottom line I have psychological issues that should have been addressed during the process of surgery and losing weight so fast. The weight left so fast my mind didn't adjust along with it.

Happy Sunday 2/9 Sleevers!!!! Starting to have a tad bit of anxiety with only 2 days before surgery. Anyone else??

i just had my surgery Friday. They gave me a drink for the endo. To watch the drink go through to the stomach for leaks. That stuff gave me explosive diarrhea. But it's a lot better now. Anxiety is normal..you will be fine!!!!

Positive it's good to have someone (or a group) to share this with. We all struggle in some way and with support I think it will get better with time. I definitely understand the body dysmorphia thing and have just decided that it comes with the territory. Congrats on the size 4/6 that's a huge achievement, try not to be so hard on yourself

Hello everyone! Just checking in. I haven't been able to work out for at least 2 months because I had foot surgery and I'm really struggling with my Fluid and Protein. And I hate the Constipation. But I'm taking it day by day!

I've lost 129 lbs so far with another 26 to go but I feel so much better. I'm down from a 24 jeans to a 10/12! And this week, my family took Christmas card pics for the first time ever! Praise God for this new life. :)

Hope you're all doing great. Check in!

Jenn sorry to hear about your foot, hope you get better soon. Congrats on the loss, you're doing amazing. Have you tried diurelex? I take 1 just about every day for relief, my scale had been stuck for a bit but finally is moving slightly I still have about 50 to go meh. Seems so far away but I know I will get there.

You're picture looks great, keep it up only 26 to go

      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.
