My boyfriend or whatever you call him...lol and my best friend recorded me. Girl I was a complete mess. Once they start pumping those drugs in you...you will have no worries. Everything will be fine. It is like they rolled me into a party. lol. It has taken some getting use to. i was 3wks post op yesterday. It is a struggle finding pureed foods for me but I'm making it. Also only being able to eat about a ounce and a half of food seems a little weird.

Welcome. Just jump around on the various boards and comment or ask questions. There is a board for regional outreach, age groups, etc. I have seen other people from Louisville on here posting. Explore and ask someone you connect with to message you. You can put Louisville in the search box.

And you could share more info about yourself as well like - married, single, kids, degrees, interests, work, hobbies, fun stuff like that because talking only about issues gets a little old after awhile.

Good luck.

Start thinking about the new you thats about to happen. Go shopping & get something you want to get into. Make a list of all your meds & times you'll need to take them. Get organized with your drinks & items youll need post surgery. Get excited about your new journey that you worked so hard to get to!

Lol wish I knew. I was a hot mess the week before surgery. I spent a lot of time on here! It was wasted energy though because everything turned out great and yours should too. [emoji173]

I read the forums and comment when I feel like it- reading others posts and connecting with them will build your relationships on the site. I cruise the forums when I'm bored or want to eat something.
I've made some friends that ways I have only told a few people about my surgery so here is where I connect with people who understand what I'm going through or who can help Celebrate the little accomplishments.
So - that said, welcome!

      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
