I had a great day today. I had an appointment with my nutritionist and we went to Walmart. She went over with me the things I buy when grocery shopping. They always tell us what we should look for in a label bit with her right there it made so much more sense. She showed me better options besides some of the things I usually buy. I was amazed with some of the things I was buying was smart choices which they weren't always the right choice. I think if more people could take a field trip like this there would be a ton more people with their eyes opened!

Amen!! I've been preaching nutritionist counseling for months. I really thought I knew it all, but back in March my nutritionist pointed out some mistakes I was making and ever since then I've continuously lost weight.

Going to the grocery store with you is brilliant though.

Its a really good idea for people who need that kind of help, having the right foods in the house to eat really does help plan and maintain your food intake. Not having the wrong foods in the house stops the snack attacks , i know if i kept stuff in the house i shouldnt eat, i would have a hard time not eating it :)

I am so impressed that she took the time to help you, what a star!!

I know for me, if I stay on the outside perimeter of the store I do best! I try to buy fresh, no processed, stopped eating any frozen dinners. only can I buy is tuna, sardines, Beans, prego smart sauce etc.

I love Cookies so try to stay out of that aisle all together! my husband has Cookies in the house but nothing I would eat!

I agree with 2muchfun, sometimes we need to show someone else exactly what we eat. I know I have some habits that should change too.

I have not met my goal yet.. I did not put that statement on my ticker??? I can't get it off??? I still want to get closer to 130. only about 30 lbs, can't believe it. this has been such an amazing time of my life.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
