Joyce I was also hungry, not the first day but by the end of the week I was wanting to eat. I was so happy to move to mushies, it was Christmas eve and I mushed EVERYTHING! and then by the 4th week out I was begging my surgeon for a fill. I could eat everything by then but had to wait the 6 weeks. It took me 6-7 fills to get me to the sweetspot - the place I am now.

I went to my ps appointment. It went really well. He sounds like I will be a very good canidate for the insurance to pay. He wants me to come back in 4 weeks and try to lose as much as I can between now and then. I had wanted to lose 10 lbs in Jan and that didn't happen. In fact my scale hasn't moved this month. So I decided to go back to the pre-op diet, Protein shakes and one frozen dinner. I'm hoping that it'll kick start me again.

Hi Wendy and Desiree, welcome to LBT. My son hasn't heard of the fat gene either. He takes after his dad's side in that respect. They all eat, and eat...and then eat some more and never gain a pound. My poor daughter takes after me though, and has to watch everything that goes in her mouth. The good thing about my band though is that I have changed the way I eat and my activity level. She is 15, eats what I eat and enjoys working out with me. She is learning good habits at a young age that will hopefully last her a lifetime.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
