Recommended Posts

Were all on a roll here....the 24th is getting closer....I am so excited. I tell you the last few days I've really been a BIT** but today I am finally feeling good. I have some energy, and did a lot of spring cleaning on my apartment. I wonder how many calories I have burned today...I am down a total of 16 pounds with 10 days to go!! I can't wait to see 299 on the scale...I will have to do a dance. Going to take my pics tonight...I have one posted on my profile but it was from XMAS of 08 and I've gained since then. So not quite accurate....Gonna really get some good ones...front, back and side views. Up close and full body ugh!!!

I think my body is done with the withdrawing and I'm feeling human again.

Yesterday I slept 18 hours....I was an emotional wreck. Funny how I can feel the exact opposite today... oh well, maybe my body is getting used to this....

HUGS TO ALL.... Hope you are all well...

Meg

On day 10, 7 days left! It is easier and the goal is getting nearer but I still miss food, well flavour actually. 10lb down :thumbup: I hope it carries on at a pound a day until my op :thumbup:

Hi, that is my day too. My sister and are both scheduled for March 24th. 10 day pr-op diet today. Sounds like between some of your, 3 Protein Shakes and up to 2 cups of cottage shees, yogurt, applesauce, etc. Nervous!

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery on March 24th as well. My doctor doesn't require I do a liquid diet pre-surgery but I've decided I want to do it the week before just to prepare.

10 more days.... :thumbup:

On day 6, and still no cheating. I am down 10lbs since starting and that is pretty amazing. I really had to stop to think what Darkangel was saying in only 8 days we will have the worst of this behind us. ONLY 8 DAYS! I know I am getting excited and nervous about it.

Today so far has been pretty challenging and I have had to really focus to stay on track. Hubby went shopping for the groceries last night and what he bought would make a bachelor pad look healthy. Mostly snacky type foods! Unbelieveable. Oh well, I am determined to stay on track and not cheat, not even once.

Hope you all are doing well....R

      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
