The albacore tuna puréed w miracle whip and mustard is good. I even was able to purée a hard boiled egg into it and tasted fine. Spread it over whole grain saltines like a patte.

I just walked a mile. In the rain. Which was perfect because you couldn't see the tears on my face. Not tears because it hurt or was hard or I was tired. Tears because I realized THIS TIME, if I do the work, IT WILL WORK. I'm not some freakish person who can't lose weight NOW. :)

Thanks for posting! Good ideas. I just have been in a rut eating Greek yogurt and applesauce mostly.

I just had the Danon lite n fit Greek yogurt (vanilla) lunch. I love the fact it has 12g of Protein. I'm in a food rut as well. Glad I pulled out the page.

For dinner tonight I'm having a turkey meatball with a touch of marinara and Parmesan. You could purée that. Use cottage cheese instead of parm to up the Protein.< /p>

Made a mistake :( Now I am suffering. Why did I do that? I ate 1 tsp of low fat, vanilla ice cream...ooh the sugar did me in I guess. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid me. We finished a late lunch and My son was next to me with a small bowl of low fat ice cream and I thought one tsp won't hurt, so I took a tsp and put it with a little unflavored Protein Powder to make it "healthier" so I thought. Nope. I guess I don't have to worry about Milk of Magnesia now. Just wish I didn't have the cramps too. Yuck. Be warned. :(

How long after surgery did you have a BM?

It took me 6 days post op for my first Bm. When it came couldn't turn it off for a while.

How long after surgery did you have a BM?

5 days for me and it was barely a poop. Now it's about every 3 or 4 days. I'm still not regular, but our food I take is so small there is not much to expel.

I had no trouble getting in and out of bed. I sleep with a small pillow pressed on my tummy. I find if I sit straight up for too long, it is a bit painful.

        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
