Your Protein needs go down as your weight does so it gets easier over time.

I was sleeved 09/18. Have lost 21 pounds since surgery. Hit a bit of a stall this week but am still very happy with what I've lost. Have had a few episodes of diarrhoea but I think that comes from trying to eat too much at one sitting. Old habits die hard!

Strangely enough I feel at my best when I don't eat. Protein has been a bit of a no-no with me. I can eat potatoes.

However I feel really good. I have so much more energy. I can now walk up the two short flights of stairs to my apartment and not be out of breath. I have already stopped two of my four blood pressure pills. My ankles are no longer 'cankles' which is a major bonus!

This op for me has been a lifesaver. I wouldn't change it for the world.

I had my surgery 9/11 and here is an example of my intake:

1/2 c egg beaters

1 laughing cow cheese

3 oz tuna

1 Tbsp light mayo

3 oz roasted chicken thigh

1 oz puréed carrots

1 oz mashed sweet potatoes

Snacks

5 oz light & fit Greek yogurt

4 oz unsweetened apple sauce

1/2 c non fat cottage cheese with 1 Tbsp strawberry all fruit spread mixed in

That's my usual day...

        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
