Do you mean the "Before and After" thread?? It's not PICS ONLY... comments are allowed and then deleted after a couple of days. But there is also a place where you can post photo albums. Is that what you're looking for?

i Feel Like People Are Watching Me. Especially, I Think That They Look At My Amount Of food And Think "who Is She Kidding".

I Know That I Became Hugely Aware Of How Much People Ate (including My Family) And How Much I Used To Eat. It Grosses Me Out At Times To See Them Shoveling In Large Bites Of food, And Barely Chewing.

Hugs To All :thumbup:

You Sure Have Did Great In A Year. It's Been Almost A Year For Me And I Haven't Did Near As Good As You. My Port Flipped Over Had To Have Another Surgery But I Can't Seem To Get Started Again. What Are You Eating? I Seem To Either Throw Up Or Have Pb's Alot. I Don't Know If I'm Not Chewing It Up Enough Or What I Just Have A Hard Time With meat. Got Any Tips. Thanks Sharon

PTL so glad to find Christians to talk to. I am waiting for insurance approval any time now. Would you all pray for me that the doctor will be able to do my surgery. I have had 2 major surgerys in the past were I was opened up and I have alot of scar tissue so the doctor says he may have to wake me up and tell me he couldn't do it. That would break my heart (plus really tick me off LOL). So please pray for me that everything will work out and again I say PTL. Thanks all and God Bless you.:thumbup:

Yes teacherofk, you are prayed for! :tt2:

I just awoke with an odd/disturbing dream (not uncommon for me). I stumbled right into the kitchen and started eating a small size

Popsicle!! That is old behavior for me :thumbup:. I am only 10 days out post-op, and am being shown that:

1. my issues are still here

2. by God's grace, it was only a small Popsicle, and not a bag of Cookies

3. I now have tools and support to deal with this

Any suggestions...besides prayer, lol THANKS!

        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
