Recommended Posts

Thanks for looking for me Avilla :) I appreciate it!

Today I didn't get all my Water in :rose: but I did pretty good about not snacking. I had wheat toast for Breakfast... lean sliced turkey with cheese and wasabi sauce for lunch... a small potato, carrots and a half cup of roasted chicken for dinner and a half cup of ice cream for dessert.

I know I need more water! and exercise!!!

Good morning Gang!!!

I just wanted to post that as of this morning, I am officially 25% to my weight goal! It has taken 5 months to get there, but now that I am working out and getting near the sweet spot, I hope to accelerate a little bit to losing 2 lbs. a week.

What percentage to goal is everyone else, and how long has it taken you to get there?

Good Morning to all, I have been overwhelmed with work this week and not much time to do any posting. Thanks for the PM to find me! I appreciate your concern and continued support.

My weight is still the same, so I have decided to lean towards doing the South Beach diet to get me jumpstarted. I never get hungry when I follow that diet either.

:heh: The food demons attacked me again last night :phanvan although I did not go as overboard as I have in the past. I had 1 cup sugar free chocolate ice cream and some Peanut Butter and crackers right before I went to bed. Then I found some sugarfree chocolate candy from Russell Stover, had 5 pieces which is a serving but way too much fat in it even though it is sugar free.< /p>

I know that don't sound too bad but my goal is to not eat anything after 7 p.m nightly and I blew it on that. I want to train myself to only have some sugarfree hot chocolate or hot tea before going to bed. I do better on some days than on others.

Food journal for yesterday:

24 oz hot tea with splenda

Weight yesterday: 253 (YIKES):heh:

Breakfast: whey high Protein shake for Breakfast

Snack: Slice cheese

lunch: 1/2 cup fat free refried Beans with 2 tbsp low fat shredded cheese and 2 tbsp light sour cream, taco sauce

Snack: Slice cheese

Supper: South Beach meal bar (high Protein, low carb)

Somewhere between supper and bedtime the 5 pieces of sugarfree chocolate found me.

Snack: 1 cup 2% milk. Later had 4 ritz crackers with 1.5 tbsp regular Peanut Butter. 1 cup sugarfree ice cream (although sugarfree, still too much fat per serving)

Drank Water and caffeine free, sugarfree tea throughout the day.

Good job Mourning Funeral on the loss! That is Great! You inspire me! :clap2:

Looking back at my food journals, it seems like I am getting in too much fat. Therefore I goals for today are:

  • Drink 82 oz water
  • Exercise AT LEAST 30 minutes on treadmill
  • Journal all food intake :hungry:
  • Choose LOW FAT versions of my food
  • Check in here throughout the day for encouragement and inspiration from you wonderful fellow bandsters :rose:

Thanks for your encouargement and for posting daily so we can help each other, you all are the best! :)

        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.

      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
