I just found out that milk has Protein. Lol

LoL! Good for you! Certain veggies also do... not a lot, mind, but they do. Google 'Protein rich foods' and you'll get a very comprehensive list.

Hello' date=' How many pounds ave you lost so far?

[/quote']

Hi there I have lost 15 pounds since surgery and I'm not sure from before because I don't know what my exact weight was when I started my 2 week pre-op diet but I think it was a couple of pounds. I've lost a full pants size though!

I stalled for a few weeks after surgery but I think I'm in a good groove now. I lost 5.5 lbs last week and so far I've lost 3 lbs since last Friday. Today when I weighed without shoes I moved the bar to the 250 and not the 300 for the first time in I don't know how when. I'm barely below 300 but dammit I'm below! I feel really great about that. Still can't tell much weigh loss yet but the scale doesnt lie. Just had to share. :)

I've also updated my blog, It's more humorous than helpful :) thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com

Today I had a very bad morning and normally I would've gone to a restaurant and eaten some comfort food but instead I went to the gym. I have never felt so good! I also did 4km on the elliptical in 35 mins which is a new record for me!!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
