What did you today?



Recommended Posts

Would love to see an ongoing group food diary here, including things that were hard to get down, things that were easy, things that were 'refeunded" as it were. . .I'll go first, and I'm starting on a REALLY bad day!

coffee with milk, one sugar

double esspresso, one sugar

3/4 cup scrambled eggs

1 piece of bacon

1 slice of sausage (of a link)

COKE! yes I know

personal pan pizza from pizza Hut, eaten in two parts

2 Halloween size butterfingers

SO FAR, SOOOOOOOO BAD!

This is why I need to do this, and I think if I know others will be watching, maybe I can get it together. Also getting a well-needed fill next week.

Come on people. . .tell me WHAT ARE YOU EATING??

Holy smokes! Everything I am reading says "absolutely no caffeine" and "absolutely no carbonation!" How are you keeping all this down? This scares me that I will fall into the "cheat mode."

The caffeine is a no no simple due to the bad things caffeine does to us not because it can do our band harm.

Carbonation is the same thing. It is not good for our bodies. It steals the oxygen from our blood cells but on top of that it fills up space in our band. If you can't burp (YEAH RIGHT!) then it can make you uncomfortable.

I've never heard the no caffeine rule from my surgeon's office -- they are pro-caffeine as it were, suggesting a non-fat latte makes a nice breakfast if you are tight in the morning. You get both your milk for the day and it has a good amount of Protein in it. :D

Here's my plan today (half accomplished)

Breakfast:

coffee with a splash of milk / no sweetener

Lunch:

4 oz fish with a Tbs of tartar sauce

1/2 c chopped salad mixed in with the tartar sauce to make it go further

Afternoon snack:

an apple

Dinner:

3-4 oz of pot roast

1 C cooked carrots

small potato (I know, I know, I shouldn't be having this)

If I'm hungry later:

piece of fruit

Viactiv for calcium; multi-vitamin; 64+ oz of non-caloric fluids not counting the coffee

        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
