I have been really bad lately. My diet is poor and I've not exercised in over a week, I think. I need to lose 17 lbs for surgery and I don't think I've lost one lb yet and this process started at the end of July. Tonight I'm going grocery shopping for the week and I'm going to get my Protein Drinks also. I plan on starting my 1500 cal diet that my NUT gave me, tomorrow and start walking again. I was doing so good but then just quit like I always do when I lose a little. Please help me get this started and to stick with it so I can have surgery. I need someone to tell me to knock it off and get busy!! Although my mom and husband are good at that I just don't listen when they get on me. I wish I had someone close by to exercise and diet with!! Please help!!!

Its the same kisersassy. I feel like I am on my own. But really if I think about it I am. My husband is ok with me having surgery but he refuses to change any eating habits not even changing coffee. He will not walk with me or anything.

Sounds like my husband. He more than wants me to have the surgery but won't "do" anything either. I'll look you up on myfitnesspal.

I am in MN. We don't have a pool nearby but I am planning on walking and riding the stationary bike when I work. I also want to pull out the Wii fitness board which I've tried like two times. I know I need to get busy!!

I don't have any kind of gym or pool nearby. I'm out in the sticks. But that doesn't mean I can't walk or ride the bike at my work. I just gotta get started. I like the bowling game too but it's been forever since I've done it!! We don't even have our Wii hooked up anymore. Need to do that too!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
