That is hard. I say try some baked flaky fish if you can that was on my soft diet. It's funny how each nutritionist and surgeon have different requirements. I was one week each. Liquid' date=' soft, regular. All the best![/quote']

That's why we have to know our bodies and do what feels right and healthy. I heard someone asking the calories in a chicken nugget. With the tiny tummies we have....we should be putting the most healthy Protein in there as we can. :-)

My doc required the same' date=' but I almost went insane. I've tried a lil this and a ill that if the next stages and took it slow. I've done great and I feel great! Not chewing almost made me insane....really:-). I thought I would lose it if I couldn't bite into something. An egg white omelet never tasted so good. Lol[/quote']

OMG I love the egg white omelet hahaha, yea that's what I am doing, experimenting :)

Hi, I know and I'm proud of losing. I'm probably being hard on myself but maybe my stall will go away tomorrow. I haven't weighed myself today so I'll wait til Friday to check and hopefully be happy even if it just moves 1 or 2 lbs :)

I do too. 3 weeks out only 10 lbs as of today. My wellness doc told me to ensure I'm getting minimum 65 g's of Protein up to 100 if I can. I am having a hard time getting the calories in. He told me to ensure I watch all fats. In my extensive bloodworm GE does. He's a metabolic and hormonal doc. It's good to have that stuff checked. I learned a ton about why I was chubby. Anyway....I'm just happy I'm losing. Celebrate your wins. :-)

      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
