Need help feeling down



Recommended Posts

I know how you feel! I felt like this a couple of days ago thanks to my vet that had been banded for years that put me back on track. We have to eat our Protein first then the other foods. Slider foods are like cream of wheat that is loose not thick it can run off your spoon, baby food, purée foods. An remember don't drink 30 to 45 minutes before your meal and 2 hours after. I too love this site being a Newbie takes time and commitment and encouragement from others that have been where we are now! I'm glad I did the band and I know you are too. We just have to listen, follow Dr instructions and walk walk and sip sip and chew chew little bites. One day we will look back and be Vets to help Newbies like ourselves. Have a bless day and don't worry you will hit your green zone it takes a while for some. I'm waiting on my first fill in January 3 2013, xoxoxoxox

The tuna was probably ok, I never would have done lettuce this early on. Kiel up the great work with the mushies!

You just need to keep trying things and keep track of what keeps you full and what gets stuck. I had a very small menu to start, but I found what I liked and what worked. When I have stalls or start eating too much, I go back to that list.

Hang in there. it is a tough time of year and the body does strange stuff while healing. Stay away from the scales for a few days' date=' and eat more protein.[/quote']

Excellent advice, thanks!

Please don't be sad. Same thing happened to me. Just concentrate on healing & trust me you will be fine. I was worried as well & my dr dismissed my concerns & said "we haven't really started yet". You body is holding on to anything you can give it while you are healing. Xx

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

      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
