So far, so good. I'm not having any issue getting my fluids in. Recovery was easy. The incisions are healing okay. 1 is still painful when I twist or turn, and 2 look like they are not going to heal very well. The other 2 look fine.

I've been on a clear liquid diet the past week (plus 2 wks pre-op), but today was my 1st day on a full liquid diet. I walked two miles to BJs instead of taking the bus. I did take the bus home b/c by the time I finished shopping, I was drained. I stocked up on Protein shakes, SF Jello, SF applesauce, and a few other things for the next week. I've been saving so many recipes; I'm dying to try them out once I can eat normal food. This liquid thing makes me want to throw myself into a brick wall.

My focus recently was locating a Registered Dietician to help me with the post-op diet. I've done that now. My next step is finding a therapist or psychologist who can help me with food issues.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good I've lost 14 lbs since 8/3 and dr says I'm doing good incisions look good but I do have pain from the middle which is the largest one. Still on full liquid diet as well till Tuesday. It's hard for me at times since I have 5 kids and cooking for them I smell the food and I wanna eat it lol just because I know how good my food is I have actually bit pieces and chew them and spit them out just for the flavor I know I feel bad when I have did it. But I'm not letting it get the best of me. I'm anxious to work out but I know walking and arm weights are the only thing I can do now.

      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
