NOT the easy way out...



Recommended Posts

10 yrs post op..... seriously battling 32 lb regain after a 175 lb weight loss. My advice..... RNY should not be an option except for extreme cases of morbid obesity. It requires 100% commitment 24/7 365 days of the year. If you're not ready to love yourself...... any permanent weight loss program will not fill the void.

Easy was eating junk and staying fat. Not easy is eating junk, staying fat, having the worst stomachache of your life, and then spending several hours crapping your brains out while gagging your brains out over the stench. Yeah. I am the type of person who learns that way. No more corn nuggets. Ever.

Nope not an easy way out at all . Especially when most of us love food . We all have to redesign the way we eat and what we eat and how we eat and how and when to exercise. Just a big change in life and I love my changes

I agree, I haven't told people except close family and a few friends. I am at my weight I use to be and probably will loose more because that's just the way it's going. I have lot 92 lbs this definitely has not been easy, I just passed my one year on 1/25/17 I guess ignorance is a blessing to some. Keep up the great work everyone.

This no longer becomes a matter of question the longer you're out of surgery.

I'm about 10 months out, 130 pounds down. I weight lift for an hour 5 days a week along with 30 mins of cardio everyday.

Weeks out: 39

SW: 371

CW: 240

WL: 131lbs

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
