Either way I get what you mean. I've done this great leading up to it and I get that I can't eat those things after the fact. I'm struggling bad though lol.

Sorry let me clarify I mean I'm 5 days out as in preop. I have surgery on may 4th.

I guess I hide my weight well also. I'm only 5'2" I started at 241 I am down to 215 now. I was over 40 bmi. It's taken me a while to get down this much and it's been hard. It wasn't like I woke up and the weight fell off. I've been exercising like a mad man and watching and logging everything I put in my mouth that's…

Loriloftness i was in the same mindset as you. I know I may be a "lightweight" but I do have my fair share of health issues and was recommended by my dr to pursue this path. For someone to constantly bring up that issues just really got to me.

Wow great job

Thanks everyone. Your right about thicker skin. And I usually brush things off easily but I was thrown so far off by her rude comments especially from someone going through weight issues like myself. I appreciate all your advice.

Congratulations I'm still preop surgery is may 4th. So happy for you. So exciting!

Congratulations! We are surgery buddies. I'm having mine on may 4th so pretty close to you. I'm excited and nervous and starting to get this figured out. This support group has been amazing. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive.

I like this idea, and want to follow it but she makes it so hard. Maybe she just needs more support and understanding and isn't getting it elsewhere so she takes it out on me

Thank you everyone for being so great. It's nice to have so much support

Yeah I honestly don't understand her or why she feels the need to make me feel bad because I may not weigh as much as her. Everyone else from those classes has been nothing but supportive. We encourage each other which helps with this process, well everyone but her. She kinda gets shunned now because of her behavior by…

I have not had my surgery yet. But I have found that since losing 27lbs I can actually move better without feeling so tired. I had my daughter riding her bike and was jogging/walking beside her for almost a hour without feeling like I was going to die :). If I'm feeling this good before surgery I can only imagine how great…

Congratulations that's awesome.

So I completed my preop class today and everything is all set for surgery. Start my liquid diet 2 days before and should get my check in time for surgery about the same time. I started a count down on my phone lol. Getting nervous and anxious but really prepared to finally have this happen.

No my surgeon only requires 2 days of liquid diet before surgery. I don't know why this is so different then most but that's what I was told to do.

Looking for more friends that had vsg. Getting mine done may 4th. Mind if I add you guys?

So I had my preop appt with my surgeon today and my preop class coming up on Wednesday. Getting nervous. It's starting to feel more real the closer it gets. Any tips from the vets out there.

Yeah would love to have a surgery buddy

So excited for you! I'm also got my surgery date coming up may 4th so I'm right behind you
