Jason, it's so good to see you back here!!! I can't believe you were too tight, that's nuts!!! I guess every person really is different!

Akirra, your support person needs to come to your meeting with your surgeon. I took mine to my 3 hour appointment but she didn't need to be there.

hey shar, hows it going? all went well for me too. my stomach swelled too much and they had to take 1cc of Fluid out b4 i could go home. omg, it was torture! then dr hoffman took it out, what a difference it made! let me tell you being too tight is awful! so far i've lost 20 lbs since mon:thumbup: and yea! perhaps i'll be @ the meeting is it weds?

Hi Jason... d/c meaning discharged. Wow, did it hurt because it was a new incision when he took out the excess saline ? Or does it always hurt when they do an adjustment ? I wonder.. Anyway, you sound like your doing great !! I didn't loose nearly as much as you did since last week.. maybe 4-5 lbs but its ok... as long as it comes off !! Meeting is torrow night at BGH -6pm- first floor.. Valet park and the room is around the side of the cafe as you walk in the lobby on the right and thru the double doors.. Hope to see you there.

Hi everyone, I am looking forward to seeing everyone at tomorrow nights meeting. Jason way to go with the weight loss! Ladies - it is a scientific fact that men lose faster than women so don't get discouraged! Also remember that everyone reacts differently. I haven't been stuck yet and I have eaten way more at times than I think I should have been able to and today, while I am still suppossedly on soft I had a ribeye. No problems. Maybe I haven't recogonized my full sensation yet. I don't know. My next appointment is the 25th.

I pray we will all be strong over the next month and Celebrate friends, family and the season and not the food.< /p>

Linda, at five weeks you should be able to eat meat. That is great that it did not get stuck, I wish I had a ribeye, moan...., I had a crappy salad with not much chicken in it!! How many ounces were you able to eat do you think? I am just curious. I can eat about a cup of food at each meal, but I guess I need to go down as I did not lose much.

I saw Hoffman today, I only lost 2 pounds in the last 5 weeks, but better than a gain I guess!

My adjustments did not hurt, but you might be right, because he was so tender from the surgery. I can not imagine any one probing around on day 1-owwwww.

Jason, so there was Fluid in your band when they put it in? I am just asking because I met someone today who said there was no fluid in the band when it is placed. I was pretty sure there was 1.5 ml in mine, but I can not remember why I thought that.

Judy,

When is your appt. with Dr Hoffman? Mine is tomorrow at 3pm.

Rain, was that you leaving about 4:30? I got out about 5:15 or so. It did not really matter to me though as I did get a lot of reading done. I have to call tomorrow for an appointment though because the girls had all left.

How did you do? Better than me I hope!! You looked great!!

Vicki, it starts at 6 pm. Will you eat before the meeting or do you want to grab something (healthy of course) after the meeting?

I have some training in the afternoon, but I might be able to meet for coffee before, but after would be better if it works for you.

I love your rainbow apple!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
