Well mine was up 3lbs today! I have been staying withing my calories but last night for dinner I had a mashed potato bowl from KFC It took me two hours to eat it but it was worth it. It only has 720cal which put me at 1,100 for the day (I don't remember the littel numbers off the top of my head) but it had an astronomical sodium content. I knew ahead of time that I was gonna reatin Water. Let's put it this way, I have needed the bathroom yet today :omg: and yes I'm drinking down as much water as possible, lol, so it will leave me. And there is no way I'm updating anything! cause I know it's not for real. High sodium + AF = major water retention!!!

Molly those KFC bowls were one of my favorite things in the world preband. Now I actually make them at home myself so I can make it smaller and a bit healthier. I buy some frozen popcorn chicken, low fat cheese, mashed potatoes and some chicken gravy. I am not a big fan of the corn but I am telling you it is sooooo good. Even my my hubby likes it and he is super picky. In fact it is one of his favorite meals that I make.

I think we had decided on the Independence day challenge and July 4th. To free ourselves from the shackles of weight, to move on to a new way of life, to boldly go where no man...er...woman...er...wait, I think I've crossed over to a Star Trek moment. That would make 11 weeks (and a day) until the next end date if we start on the 17th.

:peace:

So this morning I got off the highway for gas halfway to work and noticed a car identical to mine pulling into the mcdonalds for Breakfast and I had a twing of sadness over not being able to do the same thing. How crazy is that? Like once a month if I had time I'd stop and get a sausage mcmuffin for breakfast. I miss that but I don't miss the big butt that goes with it. hahahaha. I wish I didn't feel sadness over it though. Do you guys ever have that?

I'm still in mourning for my favorite foods. I guess it'll take a while to get over it.

My husband bought chocolate frosted entenmann's doughnuts for the kids last night. I almost started to cry. Then I read the nutrition label and got over it pretty quickly. LOL!! You can still pull into the McDonalds...just get a fruit and yogurt parfait instead!

I am dealing with a lot of sadness and anger with food. When I am full and can't finish what I wanted to eat I get seriously pissed off. I feel so mad and angry and I can't even explain why. It is almost every other day, it just seems like I want to sabotage myself and then I get even more frustrated that I can't do it.

I hate when I fix my little tiny plate of food and it's something that I slaved over cooking and it's super delicious and for whatever reason I get too full too quick and can only eat a few bites of it :angry I hate when that happens! It is a sad day when I can't eat a saucer of food! Yay for yummy protien shakes, but it still isn't the same :)

You're too funny! An 11 week challenge seems daunting but...this time around I plan to set my sights on a more reasonable goal so it will give me plenty of time to ACTUALLY STINKING HIT MY GOAL THIS TIME!!! :faint:

So, I'm in and I will hit this next challenge. I will set a goal to at least get into Onderland...something I was hoping for this current challenge but alas...at almost one year out...I see things are S L O W I N G D O W N and it's time for me to start accepting that!

        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
