Oh, Riley - how i understand the mindless eating! but Calcium Vitamins - ooh wee! Lookin at my fam makes me want to eat too LOL.

Heather - I haven't exercised in about 5 days - no motivation - it all starts with a Migraine. the pills make me so flippin drowsy that It takes all I can muster just to mosey on down the road to starbucks. that little walk is about the extent of it. its about 3 blocks LOL. but at least it's up hill all the way back.

I had roasted veggies when I got back from shopping with bridezilla (she's not that bad), once again, my damn brother decided to cook! I really gotta get rid of him! they were roasted in olive oil & garlic - sun dried tomatoes, brussel sprouts, shrooms, broccoli and asparagus. Damn him!

Isnt it a sin to disobey a commandment? Thou shal not cheat! I'm going to haties. I feel like I'm in bandster hell and Im not even banded yet. I HAVE TO GET BACK TO BASICS!

Having issues - that may be part of the stress. My husband really doesnt like the idea of 5 scars on my tummy. why oh why doesn't kaiser do the single incision procedure yet - life would be ease for me then! Any chance that they are barely noticeable after a couple of years?

They ARE barely noticeable after a couple years!!! My friend had gastric bypass and has 5 incisions from it just like mine and her surgery was 3 years ago. When she was trying to show me we could barely see them!!!

When you're at your goal weight and looking like a sexy skinny thing, neither of you will worry about 5 tiny little scars. Today I was swimming and when I was changing into my suit I was noticing how much light mine already are after only 4 months!

Candra--what's your email address? I'll try to add you. That's weird that it didn't work.

Hummus! SO YUMMY! It's a great dip for fresh veggies too. You should try that for lunch one day. I love the roasted garlic one. Trader Joe's has it pretty cheap in several flavors.

lets have a chit chat with Kaiser - I don't think they understand that the whole reason we're doing this is so we can parade around in public al fresco! hahaha. single incision & low profile port! I'm all over it

        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
