I had my surgery March 30, 2017 but started to hemorrhage April 19, 2017 was strain to use the bathroom made my own self sick. But I'm 11 weeks out and loss 52 lb I plan on losing an 100 pounds by the time I go see my doctor in the next 2 months. This surgery was the best think I could have ever done. There is a site if you have blue cross blue shield that you can get free Protein Drinks and free lotion for your skin. It is insurenutrition.com you just have to have surgery date the will not except any federal are state programs so that left me out but will be researching for other. Lady good luck you will all do great. Also there is another program if your having a hard time getting your surgery paid for it is called Weight loss Surgery Foundation of America they will pay for weight loss and plastic surgery when you need the excess skin remove they except application from January until June 30 of every year

I am down 15.5kg (34lb) on my pre op diet (6 week diet, 1 week to go), but now my body has figured out what is happening and I've only lost 600g/1lb this week!
I have never lost this much weight on my own before, so it's stupid to be frustrated by a slow week, but I really am!

I had to change up my time of how I eat my last week so I might drink nothing but shakes at night are start my Breakfast an lunch with only shakes and eat my breakfast at night. Are body are so smart. My doctor and some of the nurses told me that you may only lose one pound just understand that you haven't gain. Lift some weight 1 or 2 lb. What I start doing in the morning is doing a 15 minuet work out that suppose to burn fat. I got it off of you tube it called Chris Powell 15 minuet work out for beginners some of it I couldn't do so I would just do what I could. When you have you surgery your just going to be so pleased I can't still see if I'm losing the weight it's a mental thing but my upper part just feel so light and people are saying that I have lost a lot but I don't see it. We are just so harsh on ourselves. If you need to ask anything else contact me any time. You can reach me at deni6485@gmail.com

        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
