Hell, I don't know what i'm saying or who I'm talking to half the time Jenn, I think I got my TOM today but at my age and after the surgery I can't tell if it is or just spotting for whatever reason.. Ive got another x-mas dinner tomorrow, A big one with tons of food and i am weak...:thumbup: another one on wed. so i hope i dont gain 20 lbs again that seems to be my number when i gain....:woot:

Hi Vicki, how was your party? I had 2 over the weekend myself. I'm going to the store tonight and going to get some groceries so i can debloat before my appt on Thursday. I so need a fill, I'm depressed from holidays and stuff with family court and money and just don't give a sh@% right now. not good.

Hope you are all doing well, I'm off to get ready for work, exhausted but love my new job

I am in trouble, I am on a serious eating binge and can't seem to stop myself. I am craving sweets like crazy and am eating like an out of control sow...really! not joking, I don't know how to stop and get back on track. I need to detox, but can;t seem to do it anymore.........:thumbup:

when you get a fill does your dr back out all the Fluid? I have learned i lose some. I want to say .15cc when I go, never more, never less, they think it is left in the tube or something crazy, but because not more they don't worry, but enough that after a while i can tell, like now!

i'm going today...

No Jenn, my doc doesn't ever check the fluid, but if I get the N.P. she does and it is always right on. but i have heard of fluid in the tubing, so maybe thats what it is..let me know how you make out today..How many cc's do you have in your band?

        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
