This cracks me up a but but my hubby has lost 12 pounds since my surgery and my daughter lost 9. ALL because we haven't eaten out one time. Guess who the real problem is in this family?? Ha- I already knew I was.

My son has been begging me for something. I may agree to subway tonight. Wish I could eat that :(. Not on to salads yet. I don't eat bread. I love oven roasted chicken breast. Hmmmmmm

lol. My husband has lost 10. Before I went on my pre op diet I did a bunch of cooking and put everything in single serving containers for him. The Portion Control was huge for him :) As he saw me not eating as much he chose to eat carrots, celery etc.. with his lunch instead of pop tarts!

Now when I donate clothes I can donate his too I bet!!

No eating out for us either!

my wife has lost 62 pounds since my first meeting with the NUT on april 1st. she is a freaking rock star!

(i do all of the cooking and grociery shopping, so, she said if she was going to eat healthy food, she may as well work on portions and excercise too)

That's so Awesome! My hubby by no means is trying. If anything he's annoyed by my eating now. I think it's funny.

My wife went on the 10 day preop diet with me...liquids only. And we've been hiking, cycling and jogging together since I was cleared for exercise. She said she was only going to eat what I was allowed to eat. But one day I was taking out the trash and I saw an empty Doritos bag stuffed down in the trash bag. God love her for eating it when I wasn't around....I never mentioned it to her. She's the best.

How long was it before you were cleared for exercise?

I lost 25 lbs before surgery (yesterday), but my husband lost 37. I cannot wait to catch-up to him.

Just the opposite in our household. I haven't wanted to cook much, just little bits of things for myself. I'm 5 weeks out and still experimenting with foods. My guy has probably gained a couple lbs since feeding himself equals Mac n cheese, frozen pizza, ramen & burritos. Poor thing, I better get back in the kitchen soon!

Don't know if you can have lettuce yet? But if you have Jimmy Johns in your area, they have the best "unwich" - it's any of their sandwiches wrapped in lettuce. I love their totally tuna unwich and am looking forward to having that when my diet allows.

That is awesome Bean! My hubs has said he is going to do the liquid diet with me. He has also told me to just cook the things I am allowed to eat once I get on full foods after surgery. He is already very active and has been bugging me to go with him to the gym. He is hoping to lose about 10-15 lbs himself because he wants to lose the "Marriage gut" I gave him lol.I am keeping some treats around for the kids but only stuff that won't tempt me:)

        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
