glad swelling going down. I like to eat popcorn too. My son is constantly eating it. went out of town this weekend and family kept saying how skinny I am. I guess all the exercise is paying off. It was nice to hear compliments. My tummy doesn't seem as huge either. Doing lots of crunches. Still have those darn saddle bags though. My sister is only 10 lbs lighter than me so trying really hard to get to her weight.

It is so nice when people notice your hard work. I am so looking forward to being able to exercise again. I bet you will catch your sister in no time.

Trip to the PS Wednesday was good. I am now a free woman. Free to exercise and take a bubble bath if I want. The appointment wast at 3:30 PM which was good because that is my typical swell time. And I was swollen. So I got to show it to him, he said it was all normal and that it would get better over time. I have to go back in 3 months for my final visit. I have posted some new pictures. Don't see much diffrence in them but took em anyway.

Do you ever think what will consume your mind and time when you have lost all of the weight and gotten rid of the flabby skin. I hope to be finding out just that thing in the near furture. OH, going to see the grandbaby in two weeks....YEA

Take care all,

Laura

Laura,

Wow. You look fabulous. I can tell a difference from seven weeks to now. So 3 months of swell. Ugh. Still amazed in the difference of your before. I really hope my results are this great.

Yay, I know you are excited to see grandson and released for exercise.

Wow, Laura, you look fantastic! I was feeling pretty blue today about how I look . . . the huge area of swelling over my left hip is pretty hideous. But then I looked at your pics and it made me feel better again. Not that you looked at all bad at first, but because of how great you look now. I just need to be patient and know that it will happen in time.

Laura, you look great!! You must feel so good about yourself. Did you lose pounds with the excess skin loss? I wonder how much of my excess weight now is fat and how much is the awful flab from loose skin. I guess it can be measured. I just wondered if you saw a difference on the scale. Congratulations on your transformation!!

JMS - I have not see any change in the scales. Doc. says that is due to swelling. He took off around 5 lbs. So I hope to be seeing that reflected in the scales in the near furture. I have also been released to exercise, so that is making a big diffrence.

Thanks for your sweet comments.

Take care all,

Laura

I wonder how long it takes for that weight loss to appear on the scale? You obviously LOOK smaller . . . I weighed today (6 days P.O.) and am exactly where I was the day of surgery. I'm hoping the 6 lbs he took off shows up on the scale sooner or later.

I don't know how long it will take, but my PS says it will show up in time. You just have to give yourself time to heal.

So how are you doing? Pictures?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
