In 2008 I went down to 180lbs, from a supervised weight diet. In 2010 I give birth and went up to around 250lb. The lowest I've been since was 222. At 260lb I went to a bariatric session in October last year.

I am really looking forward to this surgery

Pattianne I will have to try those, I just tried the elite core by fairlife and they were way too thick I even tried pouring it over ice still too thick I have been trying to find unflavored Protein Powder I’m thinking I will have to go to GNC or order it online. I can’t believe surgery is only 4 weeks away!!

Yesterday, I organized my closet,drawers, bins etc., lol I organized by size so as I lose weight i can just move onto the next size, after reading so many posts on here many people keep bins by their closet to put clothes they want to donate, I’m cheap so I’m using big black garbage bags. I could not believe how many clothes I have in so many different sizes, I shouldn’t have to buy clothes in a long time! My goal is to get back into my wedding dress i weighed 170 when I got married.

And when it happens let us all see the pretty thing you have become. I suspect you have always been pretty but now it will have worked to the surface where everyone can see it too!👗

You will get back to 170. I need to sort my clothes to. I have 4 boxes of clothes from when I move 2 years ago. I shouldn't have to buy clothes for a while but I like to shop.

You’ve got this! No problems. Now we are just on the countdown. Less than a month to go. I’m happy that I am first thing in the am as well. I live just over an hour from the center/hospital, so there is always that when I have to be there bright and early. 😂. Oh well...small price to pay.

Oh wow, I live 15 minutes away from my hospital which I know it’s a sweat pants and bun kinda morning so I can get up at 5 and be there by 5:30:) I think I’ll be fine once this 2 week all liquid diet before surgery is done. I’m not worried about after so much just nervous about making sure I am eating just what is on list for “mushy” phase that starts for me at week 4-6 after surgery day.

        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
