I was 7 lbs a away from onederlan last week but now im up a few. I think its that time of the month. There is no way I could have gained 4 lbs in a few days. I get so close than I get so far. Its frustrating but Im happy with my last fill. I can eat bread and other things that made me get stuck before. Now I just have to eat slow and be careful. I think thats perfect b/c than I dont feel like im missing out.

Is long beach in canada? It sound like a nice little vacay for you.

Hey Val,

The same thing happened to me. I'm getting over a bad cold (bronchitis) and doing liquids/mushies. Today I had 8 oz BOOST and was only able to get through abot 60% of it. I was able to finish off the 40% after about 20min... but I feel nice and full.

I had my appt yesterday and lost 4lbs! I aint too mad about being sick. lol

Have fun in long beach!

Bugs, when did you have the surgery.. If it was recent, the pain is probably the gas..It took me all of about 10 days to get rid of the pain and it really wasn't always in the same area.. After a couple of days of the surgery, I was hungry too.. I had alot of cream of Tomato soup.. it really saved me.. But everyone is different.. it'll be ok soon. good luck

Thanks I just started Tomato Soup today and it does help. I have tried some cream of wheat too. I was banded on Monday so I know I shouldn't have pureed foods but I can keep it down .:cool2:

Hey Bugs... glad you got your surgery!

You should really try to just stick with the liquids until they advance you to puree. The reason for the liquid diet is to keep your pouch from churning and possibly popping a suture. Plus the swelling needs to go down.

Towards the end of the week, I think you get to do puddings? ? You should call Jeanne to see what you can have to stave off your hunger.

Good Luck! :smile:

        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.

      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
