Susan,

Best of Luck! You will be so glad you started this journey. I have had a steady loss since banding on 1/31/08 and after the intitial slump after banding, i.e. gas, some discomfort and a little depression. I am back to feeling like a very real person with a very real purpose: ME!

I had some difficulties taking pills immediately after banding but now there is no problem at all. I also find that gradually my feet have stopped hurting so much, my breathing has become less stressed, I am definitely not hungry and do not crave foods. My only "problem" is getting in the 64 ounces of Water. It has been so worth it.

You will do great and I will keep you in my prayer the day of surgery and after.

I live in Az and love the sun shine and wonderful weather. I am in the mountains so we do have 4 seasons just less bad weather then where I moved from on the east coast. :smile2:

Karen

Karen aka lkgrubb, You did such a good job on our list of geriatric members but I think it needs up dating . We seem to be picking up more members all the time. Could you update it again. It would be nice if we had the state we are from there too. Oh and bra size (just kidding)

Sharon,

Will get on it this week! I have finally gotten OK to do some rehab and excercise so I am trying to get it set up today. But middle of the nights are great to work on that. I will see if I can get States / cities as well, but then maybe people can update us on those.

Private messages would work for all who want to share: State/City or be on the List!

Hi Karen,

Thank you for the encouragement, I see your Tracker and you

are doing very well! I will keep you and the others in my

prayers. I appreciated the information about the pills, I take

several a day.

I have been a little nervous today, Surgery is tomorrow at

11:30A.M. I am the last of the day.

I have been on a liquid diet for 3 weeks so I am looking

forward to some broth.< /span>

God Bless,

Susan

How do you do that Tracking?

Susan, I have trouble with my pills in the morning when I'm tight. What I just started is to take all my pills that I only take once a day, in the late aft when I can swallow the easiest. Now I have only 1 big one to take in the AM. The little ones go down OK. That seems to be working out well.

Thankyou so much Karen. I didn't know how to add more info so I copied and pasted the whole thing. Maybe others can do that too unless there is a better way.

        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
