My goal no eating past 6 pm

hard time finding good Protein bars; I am deathly allergic to ALMONDS. They all seem to want to have almonds in them or have Almond butter.

Local Bakery makes FRESH ENERGY BARS but most contain almonds or almond butter too . they are a huge hit here in Reno. Will have to see if I can find the weblink for you all to try them. They are awesome!!

ok...lol..it's simple..... www.freshenergybakery.com

you can order on line. Just be sure to read the ingredients.

Okay, I'm going to take a shot at this too. While my focus right now is not weight loss due to my pregnancy, I don't want to gain too much weight either. In the past month I've put on about 9lbs (had my band loosened 2 months ago). And while I realize that it's for a very good cause, it really is too early in my pregnancy to be putting on that much weight.

Here's how I've done today.

B: yogurt (7am)

S: 1/2 c oatmeal with brown sugar (10am and I'm starving!)

1 banana

L: salad (baby spinach, hard-boiled egg, cheese, bleu cheese dressing, sunflower seeds)

1 C clam chowder

S: 3 Cookies (2 oatmeal cranberry and 1 peanut butter)

D: 4oz t-bone steak

string Beans

mashed potatoes

*before bed I ate some low fat vanilla ice cream.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
