Hi everyone! Just joined the group today. I hope everyone is recovering well with very little pain. I was banded 12/18 so I'm still on liquids............not hungry yet, but I heard that happens around day 10. OK gotta get moving...........need to "walk it out" and many of you know just what I'm talking about - lol!!!

hi luckyjyn, I was banded a day after you. I started to get a little hungry already but the carnation instant breakfasts sure help. I go to my doctor next friday so I should be able to start my puree'd foods then. I can also have cream Soups strained and broth of course and other thick liquids. Im down 22 lbs now and very excited about that. I start the gym on monday for the treadmill ...

glad you joined us ..

Welcome to the group luckyjyn! Congrats on your banding. I was banded on the 5th and doing great. I really was suprised about how little pain I had at all. I am released from light lifting now and am ready to take on the world. LOL - ok well maybe not the world but still gotta love how this feels.

Hi everyone, Just got banded December 30th: Happy New Year and Happy new me!

I'm feeling real good today, and returned to my normal activity. I look forward to a great year, and appreciate the support:tongue:!

Now, gotta get rid of all of the holiday goodies! I'm not tempted, but I think it would be good for my whole family to start anew!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
