There is hope!

Weight at Surgery: 239

4 months Post Op: 196

6 months Post Op: 191

2 days ago I was 196, yesterday I went back to the basics. What I mean is, I went on my full liquid diet from post op. but incorporated clear and full liquids.

9am-12pm sipped on Isopure 40 grams of Protein

2pm miso Soup

3pm sugar free Italian ices

5:30-6:30 pm sipped on 2 Atkins shakes (20 total grams of protein)

8pm 1 sugar free ice pop

I sipped on Water and unsweetened ice tea all day.

At 10pm, I did have 2 egg whites, only bc my husband said a was cranky! Lol I was!! Then I passed out!!!

This morning 191!!!!!

This can and will be done!! Go with what you know!

Interesting. Thank you for the detailed post. I'm stuck at around 230 and have been for weeks or months it seems. Thinking about going back like you did.

I was 196 on March 22, 2013. That three month break I took was way too long! It wasn't a stall bc I knew what I was doing wrong! Trust me you can do this! This is far from easy but possible!

Down to 190 this morning! I don't feel hungry either! Just slightly cranky and visually everything looks yummy, which I'm used to dealing with from immediately after surgery.

Hoping to get into the 180's this week!

Isopure isn't bad, slightly gritty, I try to get it down in the morning but you could sip on it all day. Try to get it done so it's out of the way. As far as Exercise ill b honest has been minimal. Literally 20 minutes a day bc I'm not consuming many calories. Hope that helps! Please let me kno if u have anymore questions.

      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.
