I actually had a question for you personally Tiff. I am hoping to be as successful as you after surgery, I am interested in the low carb high Protein diet you adopted. I was wondering do you still keep your carb intake lower then 30-40 grams to this day, like are you still on the same diet?

Signed,

Your twin separated at birth.

Nopers, I'm maintaining now, and after 4 months post-op I increased carbs to about 40-50 grams a day because I kept dropping weight so fast. I even added white carbs and more veggies around 5-6 months out because I was still losing 3-5lbs per week on average.

I'm getting about 1200-1300 calories, 60-80grams of carbs, and 70-80 grams of Protein per day just to maintain my weight at this point. If I were go back to 30grams of carbs a day, I would continue to lose, and I have zero desire to lose any more pounds.

In 6 months, you'll have rocked the sleeve, and no only be one sexy b*tch, you'll feel amazing ! ! !

Tell your friend and dad many thanks for their service from one military family to another. I'm holding my breath that John can avoid a deployment this year. I'm okay with him going if he has to go, but if we can avoid it this year, I'll be ecstatic.

        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.

      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
