Well today marks the beginning of a new journey. I am heading to the hospital for my surgery. It’s been a great two weeks. Down 20lbs from liquid Pre-op diet and looking forward to shedding this fat suit in the future.

Well I am headed home. Surgery was a success. Now it’s time to heal and do better. By better I mean make better choices and decisions about my over all health.

Hope all went well. Looks like we have similar started stats too. You are probably still recovering from surgery - walk the halls as much as possible and just keep in mind that it will get better. the first month was quite an adjustment and not easy but buy the time you get to day 45 or so it will be almost no issue, at least it was for me and hopefully for you too!

Today was a great post op day. I was able to get my walking in around 7000 steps. I got my Water and Protein in as well. Let’s just say I felt really good for just having my surgery Tuesday. And I even went to the dentist for a cleaning. My energy level is going great. I said that to say All my February buddies you got this and hopefully you feel the way I do.

      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.
