The last 4 weeks have flown bye for me! I had my sleeve on February 15th and things went very well. I had a few days of pain, and it took the whole week to feel confident with my liquid diet. At three weeks I was able to move onto soft food and so far I have tolerated everything I have ate. The best part is I have lost a total of 30 pounds in 4 weeks! I feel amazing, and am already thankful for this surgery. I hope to continue on my journey and become the healthiest version of myself. I'm thankful for everyone's posts and information who prepared me for this new life journey, it really is quite the ride. IMG_2176.JPG

It's amazing isn't it? I keep thinking it's going to stop, but everyday there's a little more and a little more. So happy to finally be going the right direction.

What are you eating. I am in a stall

Being that I have been on a full liquid diet for the first 3 weeks, I drink 2-3 protine shakes a day- tons of Water 1/4 cup broth or Soup. 4 Multivitamins a day. Im not hungry at all so this satisfies me. Todays day 1 on soft diet so I plan on having 2 protien drinks- 1/4 C lowfat cottage cheese-2-3 bottles of Water and something new for dinner. 1/4 cup of whatevers approved to eat. Steamed cauliflour or broccoli is sounding pretty good.

I am 3 weeks out and following all of the "rules" to the letter yet I am not losing weight. I am discourage to say the least.

I understand that there are some people who do not lose weight after surgery, that they are the "failures". I am beginning to think that I am one of them and wonder if there are any others out there. I would be happy to become a support person to anyone in that situation. We have to take our losses and move on.

Congrats to you on your weight loss!

Nearly everyone stalls around week 3. I have basically been the same weight for 7 days. I'm 23 days out. It's a bummer, but knowing it's normal makes it a little easier to bear.

I usually start my day with a Premier Protein shake or one egg with low fat cheese. For lunch I have either chicken or fish with a very small amount of veggies. dinner is usually close to the same... for Snacks I have low fat baby bell cheese or a slice or two of lean lunch meat. I also drink a lot of Water, diet Snapple, diet green tea.... it's pretty basic what I am eating and I haven't changed it up much, but so far it's working for me. What kind of things do you eat in a day?

Congratulations so far on your journey. Keep up the great work. I had my surgery on February 22nd. I have lost a total of 20 lbs, but a ton of inches (to the point all my clothes fall off my waist).





Congrats to you :):)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
