Too bad we won't have any good lunch box stuff to trade! It could be the most boring table, food wise.

I can see it now. Hey Lipstick Lady, I'll trade you my Protein Shake for your exactly 2 oz of lean meat.< /p>

I'm gonna get a kiss my ass faster than I can whip my shake out! :P :P :P

Every other day is good. Not great. I had my one month today and was told that I did not pass to the next stage yet. Mother truckers.

I can't get in my Protein or my liquids yet. I am stuck at 250-350 calories (which is a huge improvement) a day. I get the foamies immediately upon eating almost anything.

It is getting better, but I did not show enough improvement to go from mushies to soft yet.

Isn't this where you complain that you regrets doing the surgery because you were hoping to eat pizza and fries by now ;)

Ohhhh! I'm so sorry about that for you. How do you feel overall? Are you dehydrated? What calorie level and how much protein do they require? I ask cuz I'm behind you - 11 days post op - and still on full liquids. Do the foamies mean that your tummy is still swollen?

I feel great overall, just pooped if I don't get a nap in. Not dehydrated because I force at least 24 oz a day of liquids plus a forced Protein Drink.< /p>

I am supposed to get 64protein and 64liquid. I can do 40 of one or the other so I try to alternate days. Liquids one day, Protein the next.

I get the foamies (excessive saliva that must be spat immediately) after two small bites of anything except yogurt almost every time. It's getting better, but it's not good yet. I will be a month out on Friday so I am really hoping my brain sends my tummy a congratulations card so my tummy will wake up to the idea that it's time to par-tay instead of vom-it.

        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
