Hope you are all doing well

I gained 6lbs since a week as a half ago. WTF. I am pretty disappointed and also a bit confused since my calorie intake has not increased much. But I know my portions have creeped up and also the types of foods. Appt is on Wednesday so I may need another fill. For now, I am cutting out my daily snack and going leaner.

Breakfast - 6oz yogurt, 8 almonds

lunch - 1/2 Protein Bar, 1/2 banana sliced, 2tsp sliced almonds in 6oz yogurt

dinner - 3oz grilled lamb (on skewer), 1/3c mixed green salad with feta and cucumber sauce, 3 pita chips with hummus

Exercise - 30 min elliptical, 15 min weights

Hello Daisy

Sorry about the no show for awhile I haven't even been on to read up on everyone!

Since I had Fluid taken out I have gained 12 pounds back ugh! I just went NUTS!!!! FOOD! I mean if it was there I ate it! Shoved it in my mouth everything I completely lost control! So now I'm

Slowly taken back control and down 5lbs and now I have to lose 7 more pounds until I am where I was before I had some Fluid taken out. I honestly don't think I'm going to have fluid put back in I'm going to go until my next appointment before I decide if I need more fluid. I need more self control when life gets crazy and not just let go!

Daisy you have been doing great! Dont let 6 little pounds set back the leeps and bounds you have came! Remember where we started and how far we came!

Breakfast oatmeal and yogurt

lunch spinach and tuna salad with banana peppers and feta cheese

dinner Tomato basil Soup and fish crackers

Hi Lose_It! Great to see you back here.

Every day, the temptation to slip back into old habits is there. I feel it too and I know what you're going through. I am really proud of you for getting down those 5 lbs and I know the 7 remaining lbs will come as you continue to work at it. How's your exercise going? Thank you for your encouragement.

I lost my job today. Wednesday will be official last day. I was a temp, but they kept me 2 extra months and told me I had the permanent job. Then they tell me they have decided to go with someone else. I feel blind sided, and depressed. All I can do is try to re-group over the next couple weeks and see the positive in it. More time to focus on my health and exercise.

Breakfast - 6oz yogurt

lunch - 1 lamb kabob, 1/2c mixed green salad with 1tbsp feta, 1tbsp tzatziki sauce

snack - 1 Protein questbar

dinner - arnolds sandwich thin with 2 tbsp reduced fat Peanut Butter, 1/2 banana sliced

liquids - 8oz milk, 16oz hot tea, Water

No exercise today.. back to it tomorrow, and going in for a possible fill.

Hi everyone! Have a great holiday, remember to treat yourself to the foods you really love, and skip the ones you don't. And of course stick to our bandster portions.

I went in for my monthly check up today. No fill needed.. still in the green zone and down 8 lbs since last month. My doctor is very happy with my progress. However, she thinks I may have acid reflux due to the severe metallic taste I've been having in my mouth. For now she wants me to just watch it and take tums. If it continues we will try prilosec.

Today was my last day at my job so.. back to being unemployed. pretty bummed.

        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.

    • 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
