For the past few days I have been missing meals and not eating very much because of hectic schedule. What I have notice is that when I do eat I seem to get full a lot quicker. Has anyone experience this?

I notice the busier I am the more likely I am to forget to eat/drink.

This. Right. Here.

Y'all, we don't have the luxury of missing meals anymore. It has to be a priority (and yes I needed this scolding as much as y'all do).

Don is absolutely right. Now that we can't fit very much, you MUST make time to eat and drink especially as we approach the summer months. I wasn't eating like I was suppose to and when I went for a check up I had extremely low blood pressure. The doc attributed it to my lack of eating and drinking. When I say low, I mean the doc almost sent me to the hospital low.

You may be eating quick and not giving yourself enough time to eat. This happens to me when I eat too fast. I have a hectic job too so sometimes you have to slow down and eat slower. If this means working or for me typing while you eat then maybe you should try it. Make sure you get your nutrition. It's really important.

This happens to me. My colleagues have now gotten used to me eating during meetings, just because if I don't eat, I get dizzy. I have had too many situations where I have forgotten to eat, just through being so hectic, that I have become unwell with dizziness, lightheaded spells and nausea. So now I try and plan ahead, even set alarms on my phone to remind me to eat.

For those of us who came out of the surgery and just don't experience hunger very often anymore, this is something to prepare for.

        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
