All I can say, is the one time I tried Jenny Craig, I hated the food. I did ok on Optifast. I wish I could have some of the optifast shakes and Soups now. All the Protein drinks/powders I have now make me want to gag.

Have you thought about ideal Protein? Its similar to a sleever diet. Protein shakes, Soups and bars with a lean & green meal per day. Low carb.

May work out for you.

Hi,

Just help me to understand; you HAD your surgery on February 23 but now want to do Jenny Craig? The whole point of having the surgery is to help you eat very small portions to lose weight. What exactly are you eating? Post more information in this regard so we can help you to help you work your sleeve not pay more money to go to some diet place.

FYI: I did very low carb for the majority of my weight loss phase:

tuna, cheese string, fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, other cheeses, sometimes chili

Also a little veggies:

cauliflower rice, kale, green Beans.< /p>

BTW I also had Dr Fernando Garcia for my surgeon

Please PM me if you need more information. Best wishes.

In my view, this procedure should not be followed by another weird, artificial diet. The weight WILL come off. Eat a healthy, Protein heavy diet and move toward relatively normal HEALTHFUL eating as soon as you can. Why further torment yourself? Your body will eventually love a nice normal lean diet, providing plenty of healthful and satisfying foods every day. Jenny Craig??? You can't be serious.

When people usually stall on their weight loss, they "go back to basics" with their diet. Someone above said go back to a Protein rich diet with non-starchy vegetables and you might see some movement on the scale. I've also seen people say that their weight loss stops when they don't eat enough and eating more will restart it.

Have you been able to talk to your doctor about your concerns? What is he/she saying about doing Jenny Craig?

        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
