How are you doing?

Kbush: I am doing well. In fact I think I have been doing too much. I cooked a nice dinner for my family yesterday, went got my hair done and was trying to do a little house work. I will be glad when the soreness go away. I only hurt when I'm I get up and sit down Or trying to get comfy in bed. Other than that all is well. How about you?

Mag citrate would be taken to help you gave a BM (poop).

The dizzy/weakness could be from lots of things.... blood loss, low blood sugar, blah blah blah

Not sure when you had your surgery but make sure you get in your Protein, stay hydrated and be very careful walking, stooping, or bending etc...best to have help!

Need mushies help!

I need some ideas for no or low carb mushies. All I'm eating is carbs: mashed potatoes, grits, oatmeal....I get 0 veggies and very little fruit. Please help me with some ideas!!! As of today I can move on to eggs, tuna, and chicken - all very finely chopped. Thanks!

Tuna, chicken salad, I have also had wendy's chili in the blender. still tastes good. that also gives you Protein.< /p>

Split. Pea or Lentil Soup is high Protein. Cottage cheese, Vegetarian retried Beans, Broccoli and Cauliflower mixed with broth for flavor. Gerber baby food, meats and vegetables only. Non-fat, sugar-free yogurt if it Has fruit in it make sure you use a blender.

      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.
