Surgery June 24th, surgery weight 331, current weight 306.

Eating about anything. Had eggs for b'fast, crab & cottage cheese for lunch, turkey meatballs for dinner. Can only eat about 4 T of food at a time. Can't stand Protein shakes, but drink 1 c of milk 2x day to get my Protein. Averaging about 55-60grams of protein, 600-700 calories.

Bad news, I've gained! I was at 302 about two weeks ago. So frustrating. I first gained from 303 to 304. Then another week goes by and today it's 306.

I've heard people talk about stalls, but its killing me. Hope it start going again soon.

I'm also hungry every two hours. Really really hungry. Can't Ben understand when people say thy don't get hungry anymore. You're so lucky :D

HW - 319

SW - 274

1 week Post op - 264

One month post op - 239

I'm 5'6" and 35 lbs down since surgery...this is according to dr's office. My scales are way off if so! I weighed at exactly 1 month (7/17) and was only 22lbs down according to my scales. I am having tuna fish (in lite mayo and dill relish) with crackers for dinner. So far have moved to all stages with no issues. I get to start salads next Tuesday! I started going to gym this Tuesday and have done treadmill, bicycle, and elliptical. They said I can do whatever I want yesterday at 1 month post op appt, so I will probably start that next week. Keep up the good work everyone!

I haven't been doing shakes either because I can't stand them, so I have been drinking milk too. How are you getting do much protein in without the shakes?

Oh I won't be heavy lifting anything. LoL!!! It took them actually well! I have also eaten Melba Toast and these bruschetta rounds I found at Wal-Mart that are not too bad for their nutritional stuff. I have also eaten Cheerios, which are yummy! I eat those for Breakfast when I am out of Protein Bars. So far I have tolerated those good as well. Next Tuesday is salads and lean meats, then after that, on 8/6, I get to eat almonds! I'm so excited about that because I like to use that as a snack, plus it is small enough where I don't feel too bad about wasting food. Haha! I also get to work in the flatbreads and sandwich rounds then.

I'm gonna try the Cheerios that sounds yummy and should be soft enough to eat. Im excited a new thing to eat.

I can't tolerate chicken, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes,yet hope to be able pretty soon. I love fish but so much I can eat of that.

I tried meatballs it was ok and I ate a little bit of mushy rice to see if it goes down and it did well.

Flat bread!! Love it I guess with hummus would be a good snack :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
