I am a terrible example... I don't really track Proteins, Water etc...

I write down everything I eat everyday and the amount of calories that gives me... I don't track water, nor any other Fluid I drink (tea, soft drinks, camomile...)...

Hi Finally - I've always tracked Protein and calories. My surgeon and dietitian never required watching carbs unless someone isn't losing weight. That was never a problem for me. Also, they want you to make sure we are getting enough Water. That is the one thing I've had trouble with since day 1.....ugh. I just count, one glass, two glass etc. I learned at the last support group a couple of days ago that everything counts as 'liquids' - just so there is no caff. in it. So with that said, I am doing "ok". Three - four 8 oz glasses of Water per day, 2 cups of skim milk. Maybe a cup of Decaf. All in all.....I'm calling it 'good'. :)

I'm 14.5 lbs under goal and could continue to lose weight....so a sweet now and then is no problem. Every Friday my husband and I go to Star Bucks for coffee and we split a piece of pumpkin bread. It helps me with the 1200 calories I need every day.

Water, Protein, carbs, sugar, fat, calories...?

yep, Cals, Protein, Fat, Carbs. I don't track Water, I just do as much as I can in between "meals" right now I'm focusing on high protein (70g) and lower carbs so it helps me to track it. I use Loseit on my iPhone to track it.

I'm a bad example - I haven't tracked anything outside of the first 3-4 weeks post-op. Hasn't really hindered my weight loss, so I'm ok with it.

      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.
