....tonight. :) my mother in law wanted to have thanksgiving again so we ended up having left overs tonight. A couple ounces of turkey and some brocolli side dish of 1 oz. Just letting you know that it is possible to get thanksgiving seconds as a sleever. :)

I've had seconds and thirds and fourths, just not much at any meal. Pie and coffee too!

I've also walked my hiney off!

I am terrified... I ate some thanksgiving dinner, a couple of ounces of turkey and some stewed squash but I also had a couple of tablespoons of dressing and a tiny piece of pumpkin pie, not all at once but spaced out. Then I have been having left overs yesterday and today. No pie but turkey and squash and a little bit of dressing again. Not able to have my Protein Shakes like I should but this evening, I had gained two pounds. Still, since I had surgery on Oct 30, I have lost 25 pounds and a total of 35 since pre-op diet. I am sick with worry. Hope eating that dressing and such did not mess me up. I actually lost that extra two pounds with a stomach virus I had just prior to Thanksgiving. I guess, I need to chill and get over it! Right??

Yeah, i took a really good 6 mile suburbia walk with hills. Me and my dog had a great time with the sun on our backs and the wind in our hair. Really felt like I toned up the flab behind my knees and those 2 ounces of turkey from last night. Lol.

I think this was the first thanksgiving for a lot of us. I think I have done awe some compared to other years. My acid reflux is out of control. Taking tums , zantac and nexium. I think it's a matter of blowing it for me but eating smaller portions of rich foods like stuffing. My body is used to the same kinds of foods. Tomorrow I need to let my acid relfux heal. Guess I better do some googling. On the positive side down 52.5 pounds and down to a size 12from an 18/20. All amazing journeys have trials. Tonight mine is chewing enough tums. Lol Merry Christmas

Never weigh yourself at night it's the heaviest you'll be all day.

      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. 🤞
