Morning everyone...hello cloey!

I still reall dont sleep on my side only because there is still a tiny bit discomfort and dont want to aggrivate anything or develop any unnecessary scar tissue...so i sleep on my side propped with pillows likeni did when i was pregnant.... Its actually really comfortable i wondered why i hadnt been sleeping like this before lol....

Curious how everyone is doing with sugar...i know its supposed to be all sugar free but i have the ok to have sugar since artificial sweeteners taste like acid to me...i still try though hoping i find the right combo... Stevia is what i keep trying since its the best...any suggestions???

Have a good day everyone!

I can only sleep on my back now- I have pain in my belly sleeping on my sides or stomach- but more so when I get out of bed I have a a very sharp pain in my abdomen muscles my doc says it's a spasm caused by a suture he gave me muscle relaxers that help. He said this is a very rare thing. Just wondering if anyone else dealt w 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
