I find that cereal does not hold me at all, neither do Protein Shakes. Try having eggs for breakfast or something that's a little more dense and full of Protein. Same thing about the snacking- protein such as beef Jerky, cheese, etc will hold u longer than veggie sticks.

As for pizza- eek, u r brave to bring it in the house! Lol. I love pizza. At first I had a hard time eating just one piece, but I knew that if I stretched out my eating I could eat more. Then I thought omg I'm eating around my sleeve! Super not good.

Ur on to something- get back to basics. U can do it. I recommend doing it now because I feel like I can eat more now at a year than I did at nine months. We have to be diligent about our choices. Good luck!

You should be eating every 2.5-3 hours, I am 10 months out and if I don't eat every 3 hours my surgar drops drastically. I am not diabetic, its hypoglycemia. Make sure your drinking your Water too, I find I am head hungry if I am not getting that in as well.

Try not to go 7 hours without eating a meal. When you finally do eat, you will eat more and feel horrible after wards. If you want more than 1 slice of pizza, then scrap the topping off and don't eat the bread. You can do this.....are you at goal yet? How much do you have to lose still? I really miss reading the tickers here... :( Keep it up and try not to eat around your sleeve..... :)

I have to eat every 2-3 hours or I get sick. You are waiting way to long between meals...and then you can't resist the temptations of bad eating. Keep good Snacks redily available....and don't have any of the crap in your house! Makes it a lot easier to avoid those temptations if you are already full on good stuff...and you don't have the bad stuff around! Good luck!

I definitely feel that head hunger too! Up your Water intake (if you're not getting enough). It sounds like you might not be getting enough Protein. It looks like you're getting lots of carbs (cereal and pizza dough) but not enough protein- your only sources there are the cheese and milk! Have eggs or sausage or even leftover meatballs for breakfast if it'll help you be less hungry!

Sorry, we can't give you what you need, WILL POWER. Just stand in front of your mirror and decide what is it you want for that person staring back at you. Do you want a slim and bright future, or do you want that pizza instead and all the fat that will come with it? YOU decide.

        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.

      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
