Lol. I've never been asked that!! I just follow what my doctor said. I have a hard time eating but push to have 800 calories a day which hardly happens. I drink a Protein shake almost every morning. I eat Proteins and veggies and portion out all my food two days at a time. Everything eat gets counted and input into the Lose It app and I wear a fit bit. I try to hit at least 10,000 steps a day but usually go for more. I don't eat carbs such as rice, bread, or Pasta and avoid sliders like the plague. I finally stated working out and am using Couch to 5K app. It's hard but I'm trying. I listen to inspirational music and talks and write down positive letters to myself. Finally I am seeing a counselor and have asked friends and family to be there for me. Being vulnerable isn't bad- it's human!!! I still have a long long way to go. Just felt inspired to share since I'm at the same weight I was when I was 16 and I'm 31 now!!! BTW - I ask for tips and any ones advice and sift them for me :-)

Sorry my phone sent it before I finished. I started class three weeks afterwards and have to walk lots on campus. I started walking half hour at a time two days after surgery. But I took it slow. Now I can do about 45 minutes or walking and jogging on the treadmill. U will do great!!!

      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.
