Hi Ignatius, how's everything going with you?

Hi, I had my operation Monday morning and have been back home since Thursday. Doing pretty well. No bad pain, haven't vomited or felt nauseated, walking a bit more every day. Still want a nap most days.

It's quite an adjustment. I'm never hungry. During my scheduled meals I'm averaging 2 oz. of food down in about 25 minutes.

Congratulations your sergury was successful

I'm happy to hear that you are doing well no pain you are walking and getting some food down.

Keep up the good work .

So far I've met with Katlen, NUT, and I atended class 1 . I appt to meet with phyotheapist in December, so everything is moving along pretty fast. I'm having a problem with is sticking to a diet plan, I would like to lose 10-15 lbs before the sergury. My fitness pal is not working for me . I need more structure . Maybe I should go back to Weight Watchers I had some success with them in the pass. Nut said as long as I don't gain weight I will be ok. Thanks for the reply.

Take good care.

Just had my surgery on 11/16 at Northwestern with Dr Jeffrey Fronza. He and his team have been fantastic through the whole process. Highly recommend him.

      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.
