I was sleeved June 11th and also can eat anything but bread' date=' Pasta, rice, salad and beef. I'm lucky if I get 4 or 5 bites down at each setting. I can't do Protein shakes, they make me sick so I try sticking to only Protein foods. I love my fitness pal and am also going to miss my Internet while gone. Do you mind me asking how much you've lost so far?[/quote']

I lost 30 pounds, I started at 182 pre op diet , the day of the surgery I was 171 ... today 152, i am only 5 feet tall so slow loser, but I am happy because I when from size 14-16 petite to size 9 my latest jeans from Hollister..before I cannot find anything for me at that store... Also I am not taking any medications for my allergies and my cholesterol is better then 10 years ago., I am very happy with my results so far.. That is why I want to be good at the cruise and not slip from this opportunity that I am having to star over ,get a second chance made better food choices ;-)

We went on a cruise a couple of months after my lapband. Told myself I could eat whatever I wanted, just had to take the stars at all times. Wanted to know what they were serving at the different food areas? Took the stairs to find out. Took those stairs and walked all over town at each stop. Ended up losing 10 lbs on that cruise. Good luck and have fun!!!

Ok back from cruise. Here is the feedback

1- the tip about using stairs about the ship GREAT my husband loved the idea only my kids complained but we did it most of the time

2- Gym was great when 2 times

3- zumba class in the mornings

4- Always Ordered fish or seafood at the fancy restaurants

5- Breakfast eggs whites omelets with mushrooms and spinach everyday...delicious

When from 152 to 148 in 7 days .. Never counted my calories but I think there where more than 1000 per day. Not Protein shakes at all.. Why eating more I was losing more?

Mine was June 10th do not worry... I have lost 23 after surgery but . I am very pleased with my results. My allergies are better, now i do not need to take steroids to control them also , I am getting complements at my job everyday about looking younger. Who cares about the pounds if we are feeling great... ;-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
