Being able to excercise

I have been on this waiting game since November I thought I would have been recovering by now but I haven't even gone to see the surgeon yet!!! I understand the process but boy this is so long I changed my mind a few times about which surgery I should have if any at all!!!

we can have fruit after our Protein and veggies, some days I really need a glass of this liquid fruit.....jus saying.

Who knew?

I have yet to be sleeved and I get negative statements, once you tell people your on a diet or your working on losing weight people have an opinion. I had a Caesar salad today with little to no dressing and someone said is that healthy should u be eating that. I can't even imagine it getting worse when u tell them I am get WLS soon they automatically I may not mind educating friends but it gets tiring when everyone has an opinion about your situation.

this morning i weighed in at 180! that makes my loss a total of 40lbs since dec 18!!! i keep thinking that the loss is going too slow but either way it is still 40lbs more than i would have lost if i hadn't had the surgery!

Hey I am nikki and If everything goes through I will be having my surgery in February. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am borderline obsessed with all info about VSG. I am 30yrs old and spent my entire 20s on diets exercise and frustration because of my weight. I am ready to get healthy for my daughter. I want to be able to run and play with her and fit down a slide. I hate just standing there and barely being able to walk up the baby stairs with out losing my breath. I been going through years of debating which at one point I started everything and stopped cause I got pregnant.

I am a little scared after reading the leak survivors story. I decided I am going to continue on my journey in-spite of my fear but I am gonna start the liquid diet soon and exercising even sooner so I can have better results

Pre-op I talked to a couple of nurses I work with the first thing they say is your not big enough. I am big enough. I know it's trying to be a compliment but that's how I felt for years and I just kept getting bigger and bigger and I know it's-partially my eating. Now that I said something there a discussion on how all u got to do is diet and exercise. And how I know someone who stopped drinking soda and sugar and they lost weight. I stopped eating all red meat and pork and I cut down on turkey and bread. I haven't drank soda in years and I try to keep my juice down. Even discussing that people still seem to feel I must be doing something wrong and its me. Sometimes I feel like that's all I need but I feel this surgery will give me a boost. I guess until I have the surgery I will know what to say but for now I think it's better not to say anything.

That's hurtful and honestly for someone who has such stupid things from my husband it's really discourages my weight loss efforts. I would get myself together for myself build enough confidence to say good bye

I was sleeved on the 18th of December I will be leaving the hospital today # Im hoping# The first night was extremely painful I mean it was unbearable and the nurse staff couldn't seem to find an antidote for my pain I didn't get "a pain pump inserted either" ???why I don't know?? but my
Dr decided to give me "Ketorolac" and Lorazapam seeing that the morphine didn't glad that this combination worked I'm feeling great #I know this is a bit of T.M.I.but I can't seem to "pass gas" my Dr keeps telling me that I have to, its just not happening...' oh well now I'm just waiting to be released by my Dr because I'm ready to go home now!

Day one liquid diet a complete success!!!

So today I got my sonogram and chest X-ray and lab work I am getting my sleep test done on dec 28th and tomorrow I go to my cardiologist and see a psych tomorrow. The only thing I am waiting for is my GI doctors test results and my weight history. Once I receive my new insurance and records they will submit it to insurance

Ok

Hi,
So I've lost 50 pounds and my belly is sagging. I'm 51 and have carried 2 children so there's no way to avoid the sag. I live in TX and sweat...and I'm developing a rash. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

If I had a STABLE BMI of 38 and I wasn't afraid of going higher then No, I would not even consider this procedure. BUT my situation is much different than yours. When I was in the low 200s, my shape was very much a pear shape. I held most of my weight in my thighs and hips and very little in my abdomen. I had no comorbidities(and still don't even at 40 years old and 330 pounds) I had no joint pain at that weight. I could do everything I wanted to do.... I could even jog and I could hike for 20 miles in a single day! so no. I would not have had the surgery at a 38 BMI unless it was to prevent future weight gain...
NOW, If I was YOU, I would DEFINITELY have the surgery. If you have comorbidities, then your body is begging you to lose the weight. No two bodies are the same so it's really not fair to compare. I was in a way "blessed" genetically. Yeah, I do have some thyroid issues.. and I have a propensity to gain and hold on to weight and compounded with a healthy appetite and not always the best choices I wound up at 330 pounds... BUT I have low cholesterol, no signs of heart disease, normal liver profile, normal blood sugar.. etc. I am fortunate. Not everyone can be so lucky, so I say take advantage of this surgery in order to combat against your genetic predisposition!
Best wishes to you!

When I first started thinking about WLs I went to a meeting I felt like maybe I wasn't heavy enough. I started the process told people and the first thing they said was really u don't need all that u can do it in your own!! So I followed everyone and I got pregnant had my daughter and still struggling with this weight. I feel like if not now, when? I am over 100lbs over weight my whole life is basically effected. My feet hurt, ankle, knees. I am weak tired and borderline diabetic.
