My doc always told me to aim for an A1C under 7 and glucose between 100-120. I was taken off my Metformin (diabetes meds) at discharge from RNY i December and haven't checked my sugar since Christmas. I probably should, especially since I have an appointment with my PCP soon, but I know my sugars are in check.

My personal trainer kicked my hiney today!! We worked on arms (I told her that's my number one goal- No bat wings! I'm too young for that haha) and now they feel like jello!!

She said I am very strong, which I found surprising lol, and that if I wanted to I could probably compete in weight lifting competitions. This made me laugh hard because I thought she was being sarcastic, but she said I was chest pressing 70lbs (which I guess is a lot) and if I worked at it I could lift a lot more.

I will not be competing in any Strongman competitions hahahah

Ok girls, since I have just been hanging at the same weight I decided to try something a bit different to see if it would help. I decided to just drink liquids since I was going to be gone all day and then I had a big salad for dinner. Figured it couldn't hurt and I am really tired of eating period. Well, today I'm down 2 pounds. That's the biggest drop since before surgery. It may come back but I'm. Encouraged for today. Don't know if it just happened or something I did. I feel lighter today, too. Ohh, I hope it continues!

Personally, I would rather have a shake versus meat. Then a nice salad or fruit salad for dinner.

Congrats :-)

I wished I had 16s and 14s saved :-( But unfortunately I haven't seen those sizes in many years. I noticed today that depending on the name on the pants I'm 14 / 16.

When I lost all that weight between 9/2009-12/2010 I had to buy new clothes. Gave my bigger ones to my hubby's co-worker who had WLS. Unfortunately I ended up shoving the smaller stuff to the side and had to buy some new larger stuff when I gained it back. Boo! Won't be doing that crap again.

        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
