Well Welcome to Kangaroo- Land ! We Bypassers are that animal for we all have a pouch now. Oh it takes a while to learn what yours will and will not accept. I am almost 5 months out, and my pouch , which I call Precious Pouch, is still teaching me things. But never would I go back to before, it's a steady forward march, there may be chaos behind me, I may be in a rough patch now, but at the final victory I will have something to celebrate! Life is a marathon, not a short sprint, more like a cross- country with hills, valleys, hairpin curves, bridges to cross but like a little🚗 jalopy I keep chug-a-chugging along, trying not to miss any scenery for I may not travel this way again ever.And if I see you in the other lane as we go along I will be sure to wave!👋✋👋

Thank y’all so much! I’ve been super motivated and positive even though the pain in the hospital and I’m still sore but I’m moving a lot so that helps. I’m just trying to get a routine together where I can get all my ounces of Fluid in and all my Protein it’s kind of hard at this stage.

Focus first on the fluids. We want you to stay out of the emergency room. 😉

        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.

      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
