I just celebrated my 11 month post surgery. I started my journey March 2015. At which time I weighed 378 pounds. Per insurance requirements I had to do a 6 month diet. I started out good but then started reverting back to old ways. My surgery was September 9th 2015. Dr mark eaton from southern Oregon bariatric center. Day of surgery I weighed 358. Today I weigh 243 pounds. Total loss 135 lbs. since surgery 115 pounds. I am off blood pressure, cholesterol , and no longer a diabetic. If anyone has any question feel free to message me. I am an open book. When I started I wore a size 48 pants. Today I wear 36. post-263020-14710749646667_thumb.jpg

Congratulations on this big accomplishment, I do have one question when you say revert back to old ways how long after surgery. I am 2 months post-op and have lost a total of 53 pds. But I feel tempted sometimes to eat things I should not. It is extremely difficult.

Taking a taste is not always a good idea. If you aren't "allowed" a certain food or drink - you're not allowed any - even a taste. For example - I'm not allowed nuts for 8 weeks. A taste could cause significant complications - possibly life threatening. If you are "addicted" to ice cream and just "take a taste" it could trigger a binge. Stay strong and find a distraction or alternative for a craving.

I didn't mean for her to sabotage her success or put her in the hospital. A taste is simply that, to satisfy what you want and be done. Not everyone can stop at a taste. Not everyone is expected to react the same. Do what is best for you. Follow what your team says. Positive attitude and having realistic expectations is a good goal to have. You will have good and bad days, like all of us. Just think back about the day you decided to really go full force. Is that still your goal?

      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.
