Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey



Recommended Posts

Awww, thanks.

I will say there are days I see those pics and I see hot. But these extra pounds from the unfill are making me see me as "once hot" I am sure I will get over it when I drop them, and get back to the super skinny. :thumbup:

I feel EXACTLY the same about looking at my pre unfill weight gain photos too. We can do this, WE CAN and we'll be THAT hot again.

Yes we can! :crying: I will be your accountability buddy if you will be mine. :eek: I need to get back to the gym #1 thing. But this house guest (if you can call her that) keeps me teathered here. It sucks.

Wow, Boo Boo...you've changed your pictures!!!! You are lookin really really good girl! I've got to get some after pictures of myself and put them up. Amazing changes in the last year. I too am considering some ps work. Probably more in my face though....neck tightening and eyelids (the stuff we 'old ladies' have to mess with)...haha Good luck!

Hi Brandy. Just wondering how you are doing now post-op? Has the swelling gone completely down?

I thought you had revision surgery already when you got your port replaced?

She is already smokin hot!

I wish I could get it through my brain that one chocolate leads to a bunch more. I think I am going to stick myself back on the Liquid Protein shake diet to get rid of sugar cravings.

The Peanut Butter chocolate one is so good, I think I would do fine. It's only 120 calories so even if I drank 6 of them per day, it wouldn't be that many calories. I should be able to do that and not feel hungry.

I am afraid to get a fill due to acid reflux.

I haven't had a fill since last Dec. I have no idea if all the fill stays in there. I feel like i don't have much restriction, and I have gained 5 lbs that i can't seem to keep off. I go up and down 5 lbs, but can't seem to stay at the down 5 where I want to be. It's amazing that 5 lbs can make my pants hard to button.

I honestly can eat anything I want. I have no trouble with bread or any of the things that used to give me trouble when I got that fill. Do you think it evaporates? I try to eat right, but sometimes it's hard when everyone is going out to pizza, and i have no trouble what so ever eating pizza, and situations like that.

Well, as long as it's only the 5 lbs that you're flirting with, I wouldn't want to restrict myself further. If, however, more weight starts to creep in, I'd probably want to get to an adjustment. I'm still relatively a newbie and quite a bit away from my goal so my advice probably isn't worth much.

Well an update...but still more drama than I want to deal with...

They (U of M) hospital turned in paperwork to my insurance company to get the revisions paid for, but of course it took forever. AND why would my insurance company pay for it when the Dr was clearly at fault. SO, now the revisions have to go before a committee to be approved by them, since it is the Dr's fault and the hospital will have to pick up the slack.

I was told that there is no way I will be able to get surgery this year. I am more than angry. I don't even know where to start bitching with them. I am ready to throw up my hands and get an attorney.

Well an attorney might speed up the process, but not sure if you want to get the doc angry, but then again, maybe he would be extra careful this time around! Have you tried appealing to him directly?

        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
