So much better!!!! It was relief!!! All she took out was the .5 she put in 10 days ago. I have 1cc I think she said in there she said I have plenty of room in my band but I need to be comfortable. We agreed if she need it put in a little next visit she would but we would wait and see! I'm in no hurry I did not like at all being too tight!

That's great!! Happy it worked and you can get back to full meals. I have only 1cc in my band too and I love it because I still get full at close to 1cup, but rarely get stuck. Yay for the green zone!

Will post my food tonight.

Horrible Constipation all day. Fortunately I was able to go... But it wasn't fun.

Also, I think my head hunger has increased. It worries me because my portions have begun to creep up a little bit as a result. Guess I'm struggling to find the balance between eating healthy and eating in a way that I can maintain.

Just feeling a bit discouraged today. I did weigh myself and I have lost 1 lb since last week, was hoping for more but I'm not surprised :-/

Breakfast - 5oz yogurt

lunch - 1/3 Arnold's thin tuna sandwich, 4oz yogurt, 1/2 banana

snack - 6oz yogurt, 1 strawberry, 8 almonds

dinner - 3/4 Arnold's thin tuna sandwich, 3 carrot sticks with 1 tsp lite ranch

Liquids - tea, 8oz milk, Water

Exercise - 30 min wii fit, 5 min abs

My weight loss has definitely slowed down the closer I get to goal. I am losing about 1-2 lbs a week. My doctor did warn me this would happen so I am trying not to freak out or get fanatical. My Water and Protein intake has improved, but I do think I can do a better job of exercising 5 days a week. I am doing more like 4, and some days that is just out of sheer laziness or tiredness that I don't work out. I am going to talk to the temp agency close to the New Year to switch job assignments. I am working too many hours and my health is taking a back seat, which isn't acceptable.

Leaving for Ohio tomorrow. I will be gone Thurs through Sun. Will post my food and exercise if I have wifi. I am exercising in the morning tomorrow before I go. My hotel has a fitness center so I will be bringing my work out clothes and heart rate monitor so I can continue Couch to 5K there. My goal is to exercise twice (Fri and Sat).

I feel dumb posting here sometimes but even if no one will see this, it really does help me.

Breakfast - 6oz blueberry yogurt, 6 almonds

lunch - 3oz tortilla crusted tilapia, 2tbsp mango salsa, 5 steamed carrots

snack - 3/4 Peanut Butter Protein questbar

dinner - 1 wheat arnolds sandwich thin with Peanut Butter and 1/2 banana sliced

Liquids - tea, lots of Water

No exercise tonight.

        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
