I have learned to have a Protein Drink on my way to work to help get in enough calories/ Protein. I Have done pretty good. I lost 2 more lbs last week and looks like I am going to show another loss this week. I sneaked a weigh in but it is not my actual " weigh in" day. I don't weigh every day. It can be discouraging. I am fine with 1 to 2 lbs as it is a safe way to lose. So far, I have had no problems with any foods. But...I mostly eat dofter foods also, like chicken salad, etc...

I will be on my normal foods stage in a few days. Will be interesting to see how I will do.

Softer, not dofter. Lol!

Hi bandits

Haven't posted in a while ! But I'm back (-:

I'm sck with a terrible cold at the moment but apart from that I reckon I'd be feeling pretty good!

I was bandit feb 24 2012 & I had my first fill on march 26 ... I have a 10mll band & my surgeon put in 5ml of Fluid. So I'm feeling a lot of restriction now. My surgeon cleared me for the gym & high impact work puts so I joined my local the other day & lined up a PT to help get me on the right track. I lost 10kg in the first to weeks but after that I started on solids, my swelling went down & my band loosened so I was more hungry & got some strong cravings for junk food. So in the second 2 weeks post op I put back on 3 kgs but my surgeon said he was very happy with the 7kg anyway. I'm excited to properly start excersising & seeing what the future holds !!

        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!

      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
