@@Fat2Phat2016 and @@Fatty McFatster,

You're proud of each other for your challenge results and I'm proud of both of you. You two are still my best date in ages. If I ever get to your part of the world, I hope we can say "Hey!" Same holds if y'all get to my part of the world.

FMcF, I'm glad you're coming along.

I was able to get outside on this beautiful day and go for a short walk. Haven't been able to walk for a week and a half.

I couldn't walk far because the stent causes pain, but thankfully they are going to take it out on Tuesday.

I'm so tired, but I haven't slept all night. My mind is racing, legs jumping, and heart pounding.

Just read that they are some of the side effects from my diuretic, so I'll gladly deal with them since they are better than the previous alternative.

Hope you get to put all of this behind you soon. It is terrible when you are taking drugs for one thing and they cause other problems.

Happy to hear you are having good weight loss results with the Water pill. Not so good about the side effects . But like you said they are better than the weight gain. So glad you felt well enough today to get out for a bit of a walk. Once that stent is gone and your back feeling like yourself again I am sure you will be back to walking like you use to.

Can't wait to get this stent out. I have absolutely no energy and I'm very weak.

Went for a short hike today. First time I've exercised in 2 weeks.

I get my stent out tomorrow. Not looking forward to the retrieval seek and find process... LOL... but looking forward to having it out of me.

Thankfully I lost 25 pounds of the Water weight within 48 hours after taking a diuretic.

They think I'm healing well. However, I was just informed today that I have a hole in my ureter tube caused by the laser used during kidney stone surgery 2 weeks ago.

      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.
