Can you give a sample of ypur meals ..like what you ate etc...Key is three meals a day ...in between i still drink my Protein shakes even though the doc said i could stop...what is an example of your meals...please

I don't take Protein Shakes anymore. They were delicious but I'd rather have my Protein in meals. I am not a make a portion type of person. I'd serve myself some Beans and an egg with ham for Breakfast and have four five lbs. lunch would be a pork chop boneless cut up in pieces and have three small pieces. chicken is my favorite. I also cut it up in squares and have 4 or 5 pieces. The key I think is to get up from the table as soon as you feel full and don't try to fit it all in. When I'm done. I'm done. I don't sit around waiting for space to be available. I weighed almost 400 lbs remember that if you are a heavier person you will lose faster than someone who weighs less. & everybody's different dont be upset with your sleeve let it work in its own.

chicken breast. I cut it up in squares and eat about 4 or 5 pieces. I love chicken. No sides. K like fish too. Ill have a piece of tilapia with lemon and no sides. Everything is cooked with vapor. No oils. No breading. I will have Beans for Breakfast with an egg w ham. Again I don't finish my plate. Ill have four five bites and I'm done. The key is once you feel full get up from the table and continue on your way. Don't concentrate so much on food anymore. I do make sure to have my three meals a day and around the same time. Ill have chicken, fajita, sausage, fish, pork chops, shrimp, Beans, eggs, Cereal, lasagne, corn, fruit, tuna. Ill have a taste of just about anything. Limited of course. You enjoy to savor each bite instead of hogging it all down.

Amy' date=' you're fabulous! Inspiration for all of us. FYI, to the poster who said "Fred Flintstone feet", I have to tell you when I was 26 and working in an all female office, we all took off our shoes to check out our feet for whatever reason and my friend said to me, "Oh my god, Christine, you have Fred Flintstone feet!" and she was right! So I have to LOL at your comment, that was great! Here's to success and continued success...[/quote']

Thank you so much. It's all my friends that I've met during this whole process. We tend to understand each other so much. I was a big girl at one point in my life and that girl has shrunk but on the inside I'm still the same person. I loved me back then. I love me now. One day ill be the thin woman that I didn't care much about but ill have a little something extra me knowing who I once was and knowing that I know what it felt like to be a big woman. To not fit at a booth, to not fit into cool jeans in my 20s, to not feel comfortable at a bar cause I thought everybody was judging me. I will never become that stuck up skinny girl :) I'm Amy everybody likes me because of who I am on the inside :)

Amy, that is so the right way to look at it. Going through a battle makes you see the light.

      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.
