Hi Cindy

When did you and Annie see your family dr.? I just seen mine June 1st so I am probably looking at quite a wait!!! I am so impatient , I would love to have the surgury tomorrow.... I wonder how many patients he sees in a week? His receptionist told me he seen alot of patients last fall and he is now doing their surgeries this summer and the referrals he is recieving now he will see them in the fall.

Hi Marcie,

I have seen my doctor on May 29th, for Annie I don`t remember the date exaclty but it was a bit before me.. maybe end of April

I feel just like you... I wish I could get this surgery tomorow lol...

I think i`m going to go get myself some boost to try it for a couple of days....I see we are about the same age... Did you go to Esn or Bhs?

No, I am from the Moncton Area. Yeah I know I was thinking about trying the boost too, It is probably much easier though knowing you have to do it,instead of just trying it...my willpower is not real good ,that is why I am in this situation to begin with....haha

Hi to all,

I'm on vacation right now and I'm loving it. Even if the sun seems to be shy to show up. I'm feeling really good. All the incisions healed well and it's a good thing when you're diabetic like me.

Now I can eat more things. The thing I have a hard time with is not having any liquid during the meals and the two hours waiting period after each meal. I never realized before my ways of drinking. Right now, what I do because I'm on vacation is having my cofee or my tea 15 minutes before my meal then I eat. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'll start to work. We'll see.

I really have to cut my meat in small pieces and what helps is if you mix it with gravy or something like that. When you feel you had enough, STOP even if your eyes says otherwise. It's like learning to eat all over again. The max. you can eat is 8oz and maybe even less sometimes. It depends what you eat. You have to think nutritional food if you want to have all the Vitamins you need.

You also have to do exercices. Right now, I walk because if you don't you won't lose weight or way less than what you're expecting and even then. Exercice and me weren't friend but since I started to walk an hour a day my muscles are taking the place of the fat and even if I weight myself it remains the same. Even if I know that, I find it hard not to lose like when I was doing my 2 weeks with the Boost and the first weeks after the surgery. I lost 30 pounds so far and I'm waiting until my muscles settle down and I start to lose weight again. They say it takes generaly 2 weeks before your muscles expends or get use to the exercice.

Once, I ate to much and boys what a bad feeling. I felt nauseated but couldn't throw up, my stomack was hurting . . . not a good idea to try that.

I'm suppose to have my first fill July 20th. I'm starting to be hungry at times but I don't. I try not to eat between meals but I have a snack in the evening. I use small plates, bowls and cups now. Everything is small now, small portion, small bites and most important shew a lot.

Hope to hear from you,

Hi to all again,

Something that will probably interest you I'm sure. If you go to www.weightview.com, you put a picture of you now and you say how many pounds you want to lose and they take you're picture and transform it to what you could look like when you reach your goal. Pretty cool, I did it. You may have a hard time if you're not into computer much, like me. My sister helped me. Pretty cool. My sister then put what I look like now and what I'll hopefully look like after and she put both on the same page and I'm planning to print it and put it on my fridge, my bedroom everywhere it can help me.

Try it !!!:)

      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.
