Thanks now seems to be the hardest hour of all. I started slacking therefor started having cravings. Haven't gained any weight. But completly stopped loosing. Trying to get my head back in the game. I lied i actually gained 3 or 4 lbs last week. I was in hospital. No food or drink allowed. Still can't figure on how that happened.

Many times when you are in the hospital they fill your body with fluids through an I.V. so when you leave the hospital you weigh more than when you entered. It can take a week or two after you leave the hospital to lose these fluids.

I am 3 and 1/2 years out and I can totally relate to the continued hard work that it takes to keep ourselves in check. I can say with all honesty that my exercise is wha is my saving grace. I walk 3 to 4 days a week and go 4 miles at a time. For the last month the weather has been cold or rainy (I live in Oregon) so I have slacked on my exercise. Some of it is Life gets in the way as I'm sure you know also. I dreaded weighing and thought I was up a lot. I kind of avoid the scales as much as I can. Even tho I weigh 125#'s now I STILL hate them. I am so bad that prior to my WLS I didn't go to the Dr much because I knew they weighed me!! Even after I lost my weight I still avoided it. So I did get on the scales because it had been at least 3 months since I seen my DR. Luckily I was still mainting but you know I feel like I just lucked out, and if I don't get to walking it may be my undoing!! I know you can do this!! You all ready showed this. You CAN DO THIS!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
