Oct. 15, 2012 Sleeve Date



Recommended Posts

Saw my surgeon today...kind of discouraged. My weight loss is good, but he wants me to increase my calorie intake to 1000! I'm at 800 now. I don't want to...I'm afraid I'll stop losing weight. He also wants me to increase my Protein to 80 grams. I've been doing about 60. I'm so scared it won't work! I'm also sick of food. It's so limited what protein I can eat. I don't like eggs, pork, turkey, can't have soy or beef. Tired of chicken, fish, cheese, yogurt & Beans. He wants me to go back on the Protein Drinks. Yuck!! It feels like a step backwards.

Any food suggestions?

Try Protein powder and oatmeal splash of water- make a pancake with that

That doesn't sound too bad. The pancake I tried was gross.

I had a rough night last night. Family holiday dinner and SWEETS galore. I mean, it was ridiculous! My drug of choice is Cookies and there were literally six different kinds and it took every iota of willpower and determination not to indulge.

I hope that at some point in the future I can be an eat-one-cookie-and-be-fine kind of girl, but I'm not that girl today. It would've been like an alcoholic saying, "I'll just have one drink."

I was feeling sorry for myself last night, but I'm proud of myself today. :)

Good for you for resisting. I have not done so well. I had cookies, chocolate, carbs of all kinds. I had hoped to get sick, but it didn't happen. My mother-in-law even gave me chocolate for a Christmas gift. Can you say sabotage?! I'm a bit worried now that this won't work for me if I keep going down this path. I have to get back on track.

wow you've lost almost 70 pounds in 2 1/2 months! That is GREAT!

I need to update my weight but I'm just now reaching 50 lbs lost since Oct 15th. I have eliminated carbs and sugar and only eat lean meats and cheese with V8 for my veggies as Breakfast and evening Snacks.< /p>

Guess I should have included a quote but I was looking at page 13...

I did okay during the holidays. I had a piece of Savannah Taffy and then gave the rest away at work.

I have started drinking coffee again - Soy latte is my drug of choice with splenda. I try to do decaff during the week and indulge in caffiene on the weekend.

I had wine for the first time. I drank 1 glass and felt a buzz but it wasn't a happy buzz like I use to get. It made me exhausted and my muscles ached. No hangover and it was gone quickly... but I find that I don't like drinking like I use to. It isn't enjoyable to 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.

      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
