I have to do the shots afterward. It's not bad. I still have a stash of them from the last time I had to do them lol. Just go to tickerfactory.com and fill out the info, then cut and paste the code into your signature

Hi Dorothy, I am doing well..still sore and very exhausted. BUT I have been trying to rest and walk at the same time - so it gets a little crazy. I am having a hard time keeping liquids down - I can only take 1 sip at a time, which is a welcomed change!! I am NOT hungry at all, I hope this lasts!! :rolleyes:

I tried a Protein shake for the first time today - it was really good (the 2 sips that I had of it, LOL). It was CHIKE brand banana Protein powder - my surgeon's office gave me a ton of samples - half cup of 1% milk, half of a banana, 1 tbs of Peanut Butter and ice, blended until smooth...it was yummy - if only I can finish it! I really don't see how I am going to be able to get 54 grams of Protein in a day on just liquids...I can barely get in 32 ounces of tea, Water and apple juice...

Hopefully it gets better...

OK, off to move around a little more. May 19th-ers please post and let us know how you are doing and what you are drinking..

cheers!:tongue:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
