Kmastden- where do you get the intek from? Ebay doesnt have it and i live in a very small town in Missouri that doesnt offer much. Is there a website?

Well, i'm lucky enough to have a place that sells locally. The Intek Website does sell it, but looks like the huge canisters so it is a risk. I'd be fine with sending you a few scoops to try, but that might feel wierd, if you want to just let me know (i used to be a big seller/swapper makeup and perfume, so par for the course for me to swap things in a trusting manner lol). Anyhoo, here is the one i buy...https://buy.inteknutrition.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=6&zenid=4bed780ce4514fffa9df5aaa6ac4058a.

Spent day in ER getting hydrated again. I still have to see GI Thurs to get answers on my intake (or lack there of). However, I also have kidney stones. :( that maybe the cause of the nausea but not so sure of the Fluid and food intake. Ill keep y'all posted! Thanks again for the prayers!

I am really getting depressed about my weight loss or not weight loss. I am losing about 2 lbs a week. It seems everyone else is dropping a lot faster.

I was 270 and now 248, not bad but not great either. I guess I am just scared it's not working, like everything else i have tried.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
