Doug, dude--you forgot the refried beans!! LOL! Boy do they taste good after having liquids for awhile. Especially with cheese and salsa added.

Way too many carbs.

I am 2 months out and there's no way I am going any where near chili right now.. I still have reflux and adding chili to the mix would be a nightmare, and as for the refried Beans my surgeon told me to go ahead with them because of the amount of Protein you can get from 1 serving. I usually just have a tablespoon of Beans with about an ounce of cheese as a snack and boy does it fill me up..

That's awesome! I spent $18. Yogurt, Campbell's Chunky Soup, and Carnation Breakfast Essentials. That's it. I'm set for the week. I'll make up the difference in the new clothes I need to buy because I everything own is now too big!

Here's to the new us! :D

Just wait til you start buying clothes....the cost of an entire new wardrobe has definitely surpassed any food savings!

I'm more of an Ebay shopper myself, I check out Goodwill and other stores like that sometimes, but most of the stuff is there for a reason....although I did ****** a great vintage fox fur coat for $10 once!

P.S. that was "sn.atch"....didn't realize it was such a terrible word!:lol:

I have been lucky the last couple times I was at good will, I got 3 pairs of new jean that fit great and 4 cute shirts.

I LOVE thrift store shopping. Once you get used to it there is no going back to retail.

I wear my fat clothes until I lose all my weight. Saves a ton of money, and it fits in with the "baggy style". :lol:

I've been up and down so much that I have a wide range of clothes to go off of right now.

      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.
