Hello!!! I am 4 weeks out today. Things have been pretty good so far. Bending to pick things up sometimes is a challenge still. Last night, I started up Water aerobics it was tough, but it was good to start something. food has gone good for the most part. I just need to slow down and be mindful. How's your journey going????

Currently 8 weeks. Starting to exercise next week. Was lacking a little in the Water department but have been picking up this week. I can tolerate mostly anything I eat, I have tried carbs (hospital food unfortunately), and some were okay if small amount, like 2 fries, 2 potato wedges, half a bun but if breaded chicken, could only have a little, felt thick saliva, I guess foamies not sure.

ALGUIEN VOMITA DESPUES DE COMER, ME AH PASADO MUY SEGUIDO, TENGO 5 SEMANAS DE MANGA GASTRICA

Yo personalmente no, pero si he visto que vomitan cuando comen muy rapido, no mastican bien la comida o comen algo que el estomago aun no puede digerir.

I got the Protein Quest chips, they taste like a stale dorito, not bad for when you crave something crunchy and a bag haa 18g of protein. I usually just have half a bag and save the rest for another day.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
