So how is everyone's weight loss going now that you're on regular foods? I gained last week, but I think I'm going to be down those pounds at tomorrow's weigh in. I'm not asking this in a competion way, trust me I'm not that kinda girl.

Thanks everyone for the Bday wishes. I don't think I'll be down this week I've been feeling big so that kept me off the scale. I did step on it last night and had not lost since Friday ut I didn't gain either. People are telling me they can see the difference. Yeserday I ran into a fellow bandster at work that hadn't seen me since before my surgery later in the morning she brought another bandster to meet me and it was someone I don't know but chat wiht when we pass they both said they can see the difference. Guess that's what matters.

I agree JT, take whatever positive responses you get as proof. Sometime the scale doesn't reflect all the changes. Feel free to remind me of that next time I'm whining about the scale :)

Congrats on the baggy jeans, Heather!! It doesn't matter what size they are...all that matters is that they are baggy on you now!

Food for me is definitely different than it was before. I can eat tuna sometimes, but not always. I cannot eat any type of cracker other than wheat thins...everything other than wheat thins seem to "expand" and feel terrible. I can eat a chicken nugget...but not regular chicken that I have barbequed. It is just so funny adjusting to this.

The scale is stuck and has not moved...I am hoping that will change soon...I mean, how can I not be losing weight when I am not eating nearly as much or as high calorie foods as before this was done??

Anyway, good for you on your nsv...it really does make a difference to notice changes in how clothing fits. At least I can say that I notice clothes fitting better...that is something...

Going to be a crazy couple of days here at work. I go to see my Doc tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be given a fill or not. I will update Wednesday. I hope to be able to come at least read all the posts in between working crappy jobs.

No fill for me. Have to go back to the Doc on the 2nd. He told me to eat 4 oz of Protein (chicken, turkey, fish- no red meat) then evaluate if I'm truly hungry after that. He also said no bread, potatoes, rice or Pasta. Having a food scale is law, according to him.

There was something else he said that I wanted to share, but I'm completely blanking on it. If I remember I'll come back and share.

So what things have you been told?

        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.

      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
