Good morning everyone,

I've been reading, but just haven't posted. Must have caught the "grumpies" from Lisa, LOL. Just kidding, Lisa. You are a positive person to me.

Hippmom, Lou is doing good. School keeps her hopping. She's at Region VIII now. I'm hanging in there.

I'm not feeling any restriction at all. I'm not disappointed because I've read that sometimes it takes a few fills to get to that "sweet spot". I have been getting a little hungry a lot and sometimes I have not been so great on my eating. I guess Lisa will have to put me out with the "puter".

I was another discussion in here, can't remember which one, but a lady suggested that she needed a kick in the butt ( for eating too much), so someone sent her a reply with a guy kicking another one and it read "you've just been kicked in the butt". I thought it was too funny. So I guess I need that kick. LOL

Glad all the "sick and shut in's":sick are recuperating well.

Glo, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone goofs up. Just start over the next day. You have to take it day by day and work hard on it. It's a long term thing, but you still have to work hard every day to get to that goal. so.....:rolleyes: we are all here to support you. :cheer2:

Good morning everyone! Hope all is well with you this morning

Priss, go to the noscales website and click on e-store. Then, I think you have to go to post-op stuff. Just look around. There are some vials (i think they are 3 oz.) that pack a lot of Protein in them. lo2us has bought some, maybe she can tell you a lot more about them. You might be able to check at the health food stores for some.

Yall have a good day!

i have bought some Protein powder at Walmart. it is pretty good with a scoop of fat free choc ice cream and a cup of ff milk. I bought the vanilla flav protein. Walmart doesnt have the protein bullets. I guess I can add the protein scoop to anything that is cold. I dont know about something hot. I heard it would curdle up. LOL

I bought the nectar from the website. I haven't tried the bullets. The Nectar is sorta like Kool-Aid, but with a funy smell. I would like to try the bullets though!

I will say that I'm disappointed that the company has YET to send my Biotin. I ordered it WAY back!

I think I would be giving someone a call about it. There should be no reason for them to be back ordered or out of stock on something like that. Call and give them grief about it.

great lisa ! ! . You know i am ready for that feeling. But.. it is getting better with the eating now and moving around. I saw some papya enzme at Walmart, had to go ahead and get it for later on. I guess I think walmart should have everything I could possibly need. Now i have the Biotin, and papya enzme and some Protein Powder, just not the bullets. , anything else I need? Of course, I had to break down and buy some benefiber. LOL. Ya'll are such great support and full of info for me. Thanks again for it. I even got to move my ticker today.

        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
