I agree, getting some daycare for a couple of hours 2-3 times a week would be the way to do it. Even if its only once a week. You need time for you. One of the reasons many of us got fat was that we concentrated on everyone else but ourselves so its time girl to step up and assert yourself. You have another partner in this life and he needs to support your efforts. Even if he works nites and sleep days he still can manuver some time for you to do your thing for an hour or two a couple times of week. Talk heart to heart and let him know your concerns and needs as well as listen to his. I know I can't be all things to all people and now must take a little time for me otherwise the resentment piles on and I go to food.... that is no longer an option so facing the issue may be a challenge but it will make you a better person.

Nicolanz, I hope you can figure out a way to get to the gym so you have time for yourself. My daughter is raised and has a family of her own so I am fortunate that I can go to the gym as often as I like. I have found that going to workout is not only good for my body but my mind and spirit as well. Who would have ever thought I would enjoy going to the gym??? Lol beyond my wildest dreams!!

Just had 2 oz of turkey burger with bbq seasoning. I bought those tiny pre made turkey burgers thinking I could eat at least one but 1/2 way thru my stomach said no more..... I have several little containers with different stuff waiting for tomorrow. I am shy a week from completing a month after surgery (12/26) and I keep thinking soon I should at least be able to consume 3 oz of Protein but no worries.. if it stays like this I am very content. I just eat every 2 hrs. to get the protein in

I'm almost 3 months out and can still only eat 2 oz of meat but I always have a veggie side too. I think I'm going to make chicken pot pie Soup. I saw the recipe on skinnytaste.com. She has really good recipes!

Count me in! Anyone have suggestions for surviving a week in Las Vegas for a work conference while I'm on purees/softs?? I'm really wondering what I'm going to eat given that virtually all of my meals are arranged by my company. Maybe I'll just have a really, really good loss this week. :)

Soups and more soups!! :)

Maybe you will get a buffet style dinner and find some soft puree like sides.

Have fun in Vegas!!! :)

      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.
