yep...I put a plateful down and can't eat it all !!!!! It surprises me EVERY time!!!!! ...when I think of how much I USED to eat!!!!......don't do the small plate thing....just learning to live with this new tummy as normally as possible...and so happy with the restriction....and enjoy the food I can eat now...all of it!! A real variety of meats ...if I have enough, I start burping...and that's it...sometimes my mouth is full and I realize as I am chewing ..I'm done! already!...then I have to spit it out coz I know there's no way its going dowwwwnn.... (but not in restaurants..lol)....unbelievable! truly delighted......hope this is how it will be....forever and ever and ever and ever....!!! yipppeeeee...(again)

Did have the stall changing to solids..(over a week..grrr) but that seems to have worked itself out...

The best side effect of all this is the LACK of cravings...no sweet tooth really! There seems to be a shake to cover any desire I might get..(hence havin' a little protein!)...get very creative with flavours and mix-ups(I get bored TOO easily and we don't have the variety in cans in Canada that you Americans do...lucky things).....but gone are the cupcakes I LIVED on!!! (and they actually look kinda yucky at the store...stunned at this!)

Have a huge cup of crystal light (34oz) with Isopure in the afternoon at work...every day if I can....that helps I think.

April 9 to now....24down....and losing.

I'll sneak another little yippeee.

Isn't it amazing? To think that I cannot eat a whole egg when I think of the two-egg scramble, 3 pancake, 2 sausage link breakfasts I used to put away easily!

10 days and 24 lbs--Yay you!!! congrats!

That is so wonderful! I could eat almost a whole large pizza by myself, along with a lot of Coke...I really packed it away too. But then to me food was a great reward, going out to eat was my pick me up....now it will be just a way to fuel myself.

congratulations and thanks for sharing!

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but it won't always be this way. Not for me anyway. I am 10 months out now. Almost 11. At first I could only eat 1 egg or less. Only eat a few bites of anything. Now I can eat much more. I can have 4 ounces of chicken or beef plus squeeze in a few fries. Enjoy this "Honeymoon" phase. It doesn't last that long.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
