Hey Guys!

I know it has been a while, and I apologize for staying away so long. I popped back in to update my ticker, and I've been trying to get through all the posts I've missed. I will write more later, but I just wanted to say hi and let you all know I'm still here.

I've had some ups and downs since I was here last. I lost a lot right after surgery, then plateaued for an eternity it seemed. I just got fill number 3, and I can finally feel good restriction. (Almost too good) I sometimes have a hard time even getting soft stuff to go down, especially in the morning. Since I got this last fill, I finally started losing again. I have so many NSV's and other things to share, but I'll read everyone else's posts first. I hope you all are doing well! I've missed you all!!

Wow! You're doing fantastic. Good to have you back with us. 60 pounds since surgery. And you had surgery the day after I did. I had the same plateau issue you did and I'm getting my third fill on Tuesday. So I'm crossing my fingers that I'll catch up to you soon.

I'm closer to you Lil. Which I think is pretty darn good and I'm happy with what I've lost. It's just never fast enough or enough weight off. LOL I don't know my surgery weight for sure, I either lost 16 or 18 pounds on the two week pre-op diet. So I'm down 42 or 44 pounds since surgery.

Fill for me, I hope, on Tuesday. And it can't come soon enough. I'm feeling some restriction but I can still get an Advil Liquicap down. So.....fill me! Fill me! (Hehe - I feel like Audrey II) :)

Ezma & Lil- Watch out I'm coming up from behind. hehe :biggrin2:

Come on down. Plenty of room here. You can even pass me and I'll try not to be too jealous. :tongue2: Though I intend to keep on going if my body will just let go of the dang fat. Sheesh.

To be fair, we'd really have to calculate percentage of loss. Can't count pounds in a competition if I started at 319 and someone else started at 250. Guess we COULD calculate percentage and see how we rank, though. A little competition might be a good motivator, but I certainly don't want anyone to feel bad if they are struggling!

        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!

      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
