2 days shy of 3 weeks and yesterday I actually wore a dress to church. Still getting use to the belly sounds. Lol not sure what the rumbling means This week is puréed foods. Whoohoo food again. Forgot what it taste like.

Puréed is going very well. Still getting use to that last bite before your tummy starts hurting. The only problem I'm having is with the bowels. Anyone else have this problem and what worked for you. It's going like every 3 to 4 days then the last day I'm uncomfortable. Any advice helps

The bowels get better when you move to real food, well mine did. But I use ducolax when they weren't as it stimulates your intestines rather than being a straight up laxative and it's a liquid. You're doing really well, keep it up ????

      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. 🤞
