Hey everyone, thanks for the concern. I have not been doing well or eating properly so I am going to hold off on going to see Hoffman and having Fluid taken out. I gained 5 pounds! When I think of how hard it was to lose and how easy and quick to gain I am just sick. I can't wait for Easter to be over and the damn choclolate bunnys taken away and also for the nice weather so I can get out and work in the yard and bike ride. Hopefully this is a small setback. One thing is for sure - I will not buy larger clothes!!!!

Val, I wish I can say that.. I am going in on wednesday morning and this fill will be #5. I feel more restriction that I have before but not nearly enough to loose. We'll see what they say. Is anyone else going on the 15th ?

Have a good Easter.

Well I havent been on here in a fwe weeks. I went in for another fill 2 days ago. It had been 2 months since my last appt & I went up .5 lbs. I guess thats not bad but not good either. I dont know what my problem has been, its like that self-sabotoging part of me is coming back. I've been really bad about drinking with meals, not every time but a good majority of the time. So I get the lecture for that which I really needed. Its frustrating I was doing really good on SB & exercising before the surgery then everything went all haywire after the surgery & it threw me all off.

I really need to start reading this site more regularly it really does give you a lot of encouragement & remind you to stay on track. I'm trying not to get discouraged, I've lost about 24 lbs overall but its just stopped.

Since the fill I cannot get anything down. It has been extremely painful. I'm really not full but just after taking about 2-3 bites and chewing ALOT it still gets stuck. Any suggestions on things that may go down easier but are still higher in Protein? ? I really do not want to get any Fluid removed unless its an absolute last resort.

Thanks for letting me vent:)

Danielle

        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
