I am also struggling to get my protein in. I finally met with the nutritionist and she suggested I really monitor my Water intake. She thinks I am actually drinking to much and don't have room for the food. I have really tried to stick with 8-10 ounces an hour of Water, it is helping a little!

I do drink a lot of Water. I'm worried about dehydrating in the summer.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm losing since I look at myself everyday. When in doubt, I find pics Pre surgery. Here is one that made me happy.

Lost a total of 37lbs in 9 wks.

Sleeved May 28

Preop diet 211

Surgery day 197

July 26 173

I have learned that if I hit my Protein goals the weight comes off. I make a homemade shake with oatmeal, Greek yoghurt, flax, milk and fruit every morning and drink it between meals. Since I started doing this I broke my 3 week long stall.

I use I cup milk, 1/4 cup powdered oatmeal ( I grind it in food processor or coffee grinder) same of ground flax, 1/2 small tub Greek yoghurt, (don't like it so I only use a small amount) 1/2 cup any frozen fruit and I thin it with Water I also add 2tbs skim milk powder.

It has around 400 calories (flax is 100 so I leave this out every other day) and 28-30g Protein. It helps me hit my goal everyday! It's yummy. Not too sweet and I keep it in the blender in the fridge and sip at it all day. You could add more yoghurt if you like it.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
