Wish mine did! I could get sooooo much more Water in if I could use straws! I also used to live on crystal light or other brands of water flavoring' date=' and now don't like them at all. Has anyone else had this happen?[/quote']

I cant stand crystal light I love it before surgery but now I hate it

I have decided to stop weighing because I'm getting mad....but today I pulled a pair of slacks out of the "too small" pile and then zipped right up! Woo hoo! They are a 20...which means nothing cuz I have others ...prob even some 22's that are too small. (Womens clothes sizing sucks!!!)

I'm jealous. Lol. I haven't lost for over a week. I'm trying to not get on the scale until my 1 month check up this Friday. I always get my min 60g protein. What are you supposed to get? I'm going to start doing measurements...maybe that will make me feel better.

Although...right now I feel sick. I'm at work and I just ate. Light & fit greek yogurt. Feeling kind of nauseous & shaky. I hope that I just ate too much and I don't get sick for the first time in the office.

Good lord' date=' this place makes me feel like a loser and not in a good way. Have you lost that much JUST since surgery? I've lost 24 pounds. Since surgery itself. MORE than I would have lost without surgery and I try not to judge my loss by others...but damn. What date was your surgery?[/quote']

No, from my highest weight in Feb. I have lost only about 21 since surgery and that was 4/15. I decided to teach myself how to eat prior to surgery so that I wouldn't struggle as much after with all of the changes so I lost 40 before surgery just eating healthier and waaay less food. I haven't been able to really move around until this last Thursday but feeling pretty good now.

Date of surgery 4/23. Hunger has subsided a little but I am not losing. Its been a week since my last weigh in and I gained 1.5lbs. So frustrating. I have not cheated one time. How can I gain weight eating 1/4 cup of food per meal???? Eating all the foods on my list. Grrrrrrr

Getting really tired of these sweet Protein Drinks. Did good all week getting in 60 grams. Yesterday only got in about 25. I can't stand the thought of fixing another shake!!!...Also, i did a "no no" yesterday and had 3 low fat tall house crackers. The crunch from those was amazing :) Left side pain is getting really annoying too! My two week post op appt is today. Have not been on the scale since last Monday. Can't really tell i've lost anything but my feet look skinnier :)

My feet too! I thought it was weird!

      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.
