Feb 9th Sleeve - Friend or Mentor Needed



Recommended Posts

Looking for a friend or mentor to lean on during this process. Sleeve scheduled for Feb 9th 2017.

41, married, 3 boys 17,15&3, 5'5", 235, Atlanta area, LIBERAL-just putting it out there. ;-)

That is me and my sister this Christmas on the slopes in WV. She's around 115 and says things like..."you're not fat, you're beautiful." I am beautiful but I'm sick of being fat.

PM me!

I had surgery 5 months ago - I'm a single mom of a 16 year old son. I'm more than happy to answer questions or just be here for support! Best decision ever!

Good morning from the loser's bench. Today is the 3rd post-op day for me. First day I bombed at getting the minimum amount of fluids and protien (33oz Fluid and 11 oz protien). Yesterday I reached my goals.

Good job ladies. I am 4 days post op and haven't been able to get much down. Yesterday I believe I got 20 ounces of crystal light down due to stomach spasms. Today, I am doing much better. I have gotten down 2 popsicles and 5 ounces of Protein. 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.
