Hi all, I am just sitting here playing with the clock and calendar and wondering what I'll be eating by my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. My surgery was 10-03-11, and since I'm still on liquids I feel like I am marking time to get to the next level. I walk, read, surf the net etc., but even though I know it's one day at a time, I wonder what everyone is doing to fill their days beside making shakes, pudding, and taking their Vitamins. I guess going out to eat and being with friends on the wekend is out for a while. So in the meantime I will be doing _____________________. (Please fill in the blank and be nice.) THANKS!

LOL!!! Reading... I love to read!!!

I like your post! I just plugged what I ate today into Fat Secret.com... I try to keep a daily running total of my protien, carbs and calories...and excersise anyway.. I have lost 103 pounds, I still have 88 more pounds to lose and it is coming off very slowly now. However, according to Fat Secret.com if I continue eating and exercising like I am recording, I will be at my goal weight in 5 more months... Now that I can live with!!! One day at a time works great, and sometimes, just sometimes it helps to look at the big picture - for me, it helps me to know what I am doing today, in the long run, 5 months from now I am going to be so much closer to were I want to be!!!

Good Luck to you my friend :D

I was trying to use this site but I cant find where it says if you continue to do what you are doing, you will be at goal in X amount of months thingy. Where do you see that type of information?

At my birthday I (you) will be doing mushy stage diet, mmmm, mashed potatoes. (if its within the next 2 weeks loll .)

At Thanksgiving I will be doing the turkey and enjoying the hell out of it! Protein, Protein, protein! But its the holiday so I will have a small bit of some candied yams too! (There are some really good recipies online for low sugar/carb sweet potatos too, go to Eggface!)

At Christmas I will be doing the holidays in my brand new size and loving it! I will enjoy a meal with my family and have a small desert but be mindful of my calories as I go, I don't want to over do it too much but I want to enjoy the holiday like a normal person too!

:)

        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
