Johnnycakes, I don't eat those but have attempted to eat them once maybe twice just to get any food down due to the achalasia. We have days we can't get Water down. I was merely using those as examples that me and someone else on this site suffer with on top of the bariatric surgery. low cal yogurt, Water, Protein Shakes, watermelon, are terribly difficult. I was using it as consistency examples. but thanks for the sarcasm.

oh, you must have misunderstood me. there was no sarcasm intended.

Jonnycakes!!!! what the heck is wrong with me? I know it sounds strange that I've dwelled on this, and yes, I should focus on having more a of a life, rather than dwelling on a random comment from a stranger!!! I read another post on this site where a guy got completely reamed for his very honest and sincere post that an entire group of people took out of context. When did we all get so sensitive? Ridiculous!

So I'd like to apologize for my slight snarky response. I hope you are a great day.

Update: Those dam stalls are terrible. Knowing they can hang on for a month or better sucks. But they don't last forever. I've been losing, just slower than I hoped for. I walk 2 to 3 miles daily and it does bother me that the weight is coming off slowly, but looking back it's clear that it's at least going in the right direction.

I finally fell into the one-derland mark at 197 last week. I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 20 years.

So for anyone that is stalling, be patient. The surgery will work and give you the result you hope for. Just don't give up. Don't compare yourself to others out here either. Hang in there.

      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.
