Okay so i had my surgery the 27th of june, things seem to be going good, like alot of people i have the pain around the port side, but it is getting better day by day. I know when i went in on the 26th i weighed 235 and when i left the hospital on the 30th i weighed 231. But other than that i am not weighing myself until my 1 mth appt. I will be obsessive about it if i dont' stand firm LOL...OH criminy i just thought i have to have my PCM remove my stiches in 10 days so he'll weigh me their...darn it!! okay ill just tell them i don't want to know how much i weight that will work. :thumbs_up:

To all of you banders, i say HOOAH!!! this is gonna be one heck of a journey!!

I had my husband hide the scales before my surgery so that I wouldn't worry about my weight, and just worry about healing. It's been great not being a slave to the scales. I know I've lost weight because I can feel it in my clothes and see it in body changes. The plan was to be weighed by my doctor tomorrow at my 2 week follow-up. Those are the last scales I was weighed on anyway.

Those plans got slightly changed when I bought a Wii Fit yesterday. The program figured out my weight and BMI. I'm not using those numbers as "real" though. I want to see what the surgeon's scales say!

I'm thinking that the scales can stay hidden and I'll let the Wii program track my progress through the activities.

        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
