@H.150ToGo I was 12/8 I don't think you see the weight come off that fast. I've lost 70 in total (most pre-op) and no one has noticed. Lol are you still swollen? I am, that may be not helping with weight loss yet. I don't think I'm getting enough Protein yet just doing my best to drink and take Vitamins. So far no issues although worried about the Iron I'm about to take. When I was prego it would make me throw up. Fingers crossed!! I'm realizing smarter to add Protein Powder in yogurt or Soup will give me more for my bang but need to get unflavoured for soup. I think I got 60 think it's suppose to be 80. I also use soy milk to mix which has more protein then milk. It is hard

I think it was just the shock to myself that it looked different. I don't pay much attention to my body and was covered up through all the preop weightless and IV retention so it caught me off guard. And no most of my swelling id gone after the endless potty breaks.... iys taken a lot ot the pain away too! How did iron go for you? I take it all the time but never had a problem. Hopefully your first experience was related to the pregnancy and you can handle it now

Lord, it hadn't even dawned on me that I haven't had a BM. I feel nauseous but I haven't thrown up. I feel like if I did I would feel better.

I was Blessed because I didn't get any nausea.

I also had a hernia so the recovery is a little longer. Hard with getting all the Water. Trying my best.

      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.
