Three Weeks Out!



Recommended Posts

I cannot believe how fast this process has been!! I actually had to look at the calendar to see if it had really been THREE weeks??!! I am at a 'plateau', but start solids tomorrow and am hoping for continued success...How are my other late January 09's doing?? Did your weight start dropping again after beginning solids?? Check in and let us know how things are going and how you are dealing with this physical and emotional journey!! :tt2:

I am six weeks out and yes it went by very quick. I start regular foods this weekend :tt2: Part of me is excited and the other part is scared. I finally can have a salad too which I have been craving. I have also been released at the gym so I have been there this week. I lost another two pounds this week and I have good restriction without a fill so I am happy about that. Next week when I see my surgeon will tell me how I did with my weight loss and if I will have a fill so far he said I am okay without one.

I am six week out now. Yes, you will still lose little after you are on solids but it will be slow for some. I lost about 30 lbs so far. I had my first fill tonight and no problems. I also hit a pleatu but this fill should (according to the doctor) move the scale again. At the first through the three week I would eat about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food per meal. Then for the following weeks it went up to 1 to 2 cups per meal. I knew I needed a fill. Also Kristilaw I gotta ask you are you keeping a jounral with the count of Proteins, Carbs, Cals and Fats. I was told to watch them. When I did the scale did move two lbs. That help the pleatu. Oh yea, don't forget to excerise and keep changing it around. This helps the body guessing.

      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
