Sleeved 2/8 and greatfullt eveeything has been un eventful. Lost 34 lbs so far. Got stuck at a stall because of low caloeie and low Water in take.

I must say that i am able to eat anything just in moderation. I think because of allergy season i am becoming more nauseated with the increased mucus production but other than that, i am goid to go. I have eaten bread but sont prefer it along with eice and Pasta. I have it and then i let it go. Salads, chicken, seafood and fruits and peotein bars have been my friends. 80+ grams Protein a day!

To all who struggle with water intake. I went and bought a hydration bookbag fron Walmart. $20 bucks. 67 oz. Strap it on your back and sip all day long!

Good to go:-)

I know this is the same song and dance posted over and over again but just need to rant. Sleeved the 14th. Between preop diet and post diet March 2 was down 26 lbs. Yeah me. Here it is April 6 and still at the same 26 lb loss. I'm drinkin 40-60 oz of Water, getting my Protein (at least 60-80), only eating a little every 2-3 hours(not grazing), making everything I eat so I can keep an eye on carbs and fat. WTH, nut told me at 4 week checkup I'm doing everything right and I will go through stalls and some people have stalls that last a month or more, but really. Again sorry for the rant but I am beyond frustrated. I had the lapband and lost 30 then put 20 back on. Now the same ppl at work are giving me the so sorry look. UGHHH!!!

Between 600-800. Try for more but just can't eat that much unless I go for unhealthy foods.

I bought a lot of fresh fruit and Protein Bars and yes some of the dreaded shakes. But i only use them when im on the go all day. Prepare tour next days meals at night with my fitness pal. Youd be surprised how fast healthy foods too van add up to the good calories and keep you full at that.

You could also find a buddy and meal plan togethet. It van take the edge off

Update - I'm home from the hospital thank God no surgery required. I was severely de hydrated I stopped drinking fluids on Monday I would take little sips here and there but not enough. The reason I wasn't taming down fluids is because it would give me that gurguling sound not good when you are at work. The doctor did a contrast ct and a stomach X-ray everything looks good. He put me back on phase 1 until I feel well enough to eat again. I just can't eat or drink I need to figure something out. He also said as my stomach heals it gets tighter so that is part of what I'm going through he also said try to eat a little piece of something every hour to see if that helps. Ugg this sucks! I was doing great now this. Hope its a temporary thing. I that k God it was not worse.

I'm so happy to hear your on the road to feeling better!!! ;)

I am 6 weeks out today .. down 21.5 ....... ONLY.

sad thing is that prior to the surgury I would have though that this was a GREAT weigh loss- however' date=' after surgery and reading posts on this sight, I feel like its not enough and I must be a failure. I am doing something wrong.... someone posted ave weight loss after 1 month is 24% .... HA ... I lost a lil more than 10 %.

I have been eating about 1000 calories and burn about 250-300 calories a day 4 times a week with excersize. I would have thought I would be more successfull, maybe I need to go down to 800 cal and excercise the same amount.

I don't know ... its discouraging ...... they say don't compare yourself to everyone else... easier said than done <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

Maybe I need to throw away the scale and read different types of posts for a while - What do you guys think ?[/quote']

I think it's SO very important not not compare your loss to others. With that being said, I KNOW that's easier said than done. I was sleeved 6 weeks ago and I'm almost down 20lbs. I look posts from people sleeved the same day, as they are down 30 lbs or more! I just try to remind myself that my journey is different than theirs. There are many different factors as to why we lose at different rates. Just keep doing what you are doing... It's not a race. ;)

        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!

      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
