I just wanted to do a little happy dance for being 1/3 of the way to my goal! I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and hit my first goal. When I get down 3 more lbs...I get my first little treat! My hubby set the second goal. So down 50 lbs...100 lbs to go! My next goal is to be down 10 more lbs before Labor Day! I love reaching goals. I like to be a winner, I hate losing so that is why being over weight was such a disappointment for me!

Congrats..super accomplishment in such a short time. Our stats are similar hope I can do as well. What is your typical day of eating look like?

I try to stay under 600 calories a day. For Breakfast I usually have a scrambled egg with cheese. At lunch I have 6 slices thin deli selects turkey (cracked pepper is my fav) and a cheese stick. For a snack I usually have Kroger CarbSmart yogurt or Jello sugar free pudding with 1/2 scoop SimplyRight Protein powder. For dinner I try to cook something good, tasty and low carb. I have tons of recipes I use and found some great ones on worldaccordingtoeggface.com I did the lasagna cupcakes ***ht before last and use my own famous lasagna recipe for the sauce. I use my crockpot just about every day. Then we always add one of the steamers for a side item. Most ***hts I have a snack about an hour or so before bed....I made a low fat sf cheesecake and ate a tiny piece of that for several ***hts (my husbands love it and his piece was anything but tiny) I try to get all my Protein in with out making a Protein shake...they make me feel sick and shaky. I also have to take my Vitamins at ***ht after supper...in the morning make me sick. I do swap up my Breakfast egg for some organice instant oatmeal in the mornings and had 1/2 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder.

I also like to have my coffee with some vanilla Protein Powder as Creamer and I always add splenda!

What do you usually eat???

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
