I still have a LONG way to go but it's encouraging to see a little improvement. Thanks Missy for the recommendation to do this from time to time.

It was also fun to try on some of my old cloths tonight. I actually fit in a pair of pants that someone gave me YEARS ago that I was never able to wear. Work in progress............

Hey Shawna! Thanks! Yes I am doing alot better! I had another episode but have realized now that cream corn = the devil! That's what was causing the problem. Other than that I'm doing fine! Joined the gym yesterday and looking forward to fitness!

I'm so glad you're getting your strength back. It took about a week or so for me to feel back to myself... and now I feel better than I have in many many years! We went to my nephews baseball game the other day.. .so I totally relate to the ballpark foods. That grill smelled divine.. but I reminded myself... IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!! I haven't really been tempted during this healing phase.. I'm to scared to cheat.. I just hope I can make good food choices after the fill.... as that's always been my problem. I was a carbaholic!!

Wendy and Shawna, glad to hear you are both doing so well. Had my pre-op testing and visit yesterday, so it seems I'm on for Thursday! I can't wait to join you on the "other side". Keep up the good work!!

Thanks so much, Wendy. I'm not really anxious at all, just ready to get the show on the road. On some of the other forums, so many people are so scared and I guess at my age, I can really see the risks of obesity just around the corner. And I'm really beginning to realize how blessed we are to have the doctors we do. Some people are so unprepared and don't really know how to manage after surgery. It blows my mind!! Anyway, I will check in as soon as I can focus!

Thanks Jason! I really like Dr. Miles' confidence! He was really laid back on each visit we had with him. We didn't feel rushed at all. He answered every question we had.

        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
