WeightStruggle

I'm 4 days into my pre op diet (600-800 calories per day) and I've had a headache for 3 days and have been feeling lightheaded for 2 days. Is this normal? I'm making sure to drink plenty of water so I don't get dehydrated but I feel like I'm about to pass out sometimes. Maybe I'm just hungry and want a nice juicy burger! Just kidding...or am I?!! Thank you for your help!!

Was sleeved on March 19th. I couldn't really see a big difference until I looked at these pictures!! OMG!!

Have you been sleeved or thinking about it? If you're thinking about it, I can tell you it has worked for me. I've been overweight my entire life and have tried every method on earth to lose weight. It is scary but for me it was worth it. My health has improved and I feel great!! I haven't had hair loss. I've heard alot of people say they have lost hair so I try to get in plenty of Protein and take prenatal Vitamins (even though I'm not pregnant)!!

Thank you!! August is right around the corner! I know it's scary but it is worth it!! I have tried everything else under the sun. This was my last resort and it has worked for me. I've changed the way I eat and now that I SEE results, I actually want to workout!! I wish you the best on your journey!! You will do great!!

Thank you!! I AM smaller! I haven't been this weight/size in YEARS! Lol!! I didn't think I'd ever see the day!!

Thank you do much!! It definitely has been fast, which scares me! I'm so afraid of failing again that I am watching every single thing I put in my mouth!! Saw my Dr today and he said I'm doing great. That was good to hear. Where are you in the journey? Sleeved yet?

Thank you so much!! It's crazy to me!!

Thank you so much!!

Girrrrrllllll....I haven't seen this shape in SO long, I don't know WHAT to do with myself!! LOL!! I've been shopping at Goodwill because my size is changing but I'm looking forward to shopping next month when my daughter graduates high school!!! God is SOOOOOO good!! I thank him everyday for everything!! #WontHeDoIt

Whoo hoo!!! Hot stuff!! You look fantastic!!

Thank you!!! Huge difference!! Pun intended!!

Thank you so much!! I cannot believe that was/is me!! How is your journey going?

Oh my goodness!! Thank you!! I haven't seen this shape since I was 18!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!! I am down 42lbs. Started at 259lbs!! I'm only 5'5 so I looked like a Rollie pollie!! LOL!!

Thank you so much!! It's unbelievable that this is really me!! I've struggled for SO long with my weight.

Thank you so much!!! I've lost 42lbs so far. I didn't think that would make such a huge difference on how I look but it really did!! How far along are you in the process?

So I was sleeved on 3/19. From the time I started my pre op diet to now I'm down 26lbs and it is noticeable. My family and very close friends know I had the surgery but my co-workers don't know. They are SO nosey and it's uncomfortable. I'm not ashamed of my surgery but I am a private person; especially in the workplace. How have you handled these nosey folks? I want to tell them to mind their *#%**!!!! business but I need my job!! Lol!

Hi everyone! Sleeved on 3/19. Been stalled for a week. I journal everything I put in my mouth and have not gone over 500-600 calories. I use My fitness Pal to track. It logs how much fat, carbs, protein, sodium, etc for the day. My question is, what are the numbers I should be aiming for each day? I know the protein is 60g but how many carbs should I be getting per day? How much total fat is a good #? My daily totals (except protein) are WAY below what they say I should have each day. I'm going to call my doctor but just wondering what others think. Thanks!!
