So I've been MIA from BP, I wanted to know how everyone is doing especially cause we all are from UT. I had my surgery on March 2, 2016. Everything went perfectly, I was so pleased. I started my Pre-Pre-Op diet on Jan 15,2016. I'm down 82 lbs since then. I'm loving life and excited for all the new things I'm doing. I workout 5-6 times a week.. Please let me know how you all are doing..

@@UtahChica congratulations! You look great! I'm glad everything went so well. Did you have bypass or sleeve?

@@UtahChica glad you are doing great! I had my surgery April 8th with Dr Zavalza. I am down 40 pounds and feel great. This surgery was not anywhere as difficult as I thought it would be. I had almost zero pain and recovery was a cinch. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Dr Embley at Eagle Mountain clinic has been great with me! Far if you're in SLC but he is really good.

@@kyleegirl01, thank you for letting me know on your doctor you are very kind.

I'd love to meet up with other sleevers in our area if you are interested. I had another friend who also had the surgery a week or so ago and her experience wasn't the best. I'm trying to be there for moral support.

I also have a IG account if you are interested, I'm kind of weird and haven't shared it publicly with a lot of people. Just very close friends and some family.

I have yet to publicly share the info as well. I'm not opposed at all to getting together. Maybe we could all go geocaching? Get us outdoors and moving.

OMG!! I'm sorry I don't get on BP very much. I have an IG if anyone wants to see my progress or communicate. I'd love to see others progress and positive motivations too. My IG is under VegMex_VSG

        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
