Finally feeling better today. Had a massive headache yesterday' date=' and for some reason, was really down. Spent most of day laying in bed. Didn't come near my protien or Water goals. Headache is gone today and I'm gonna focus on hitting goals and staying positive. Some days it is just so hard...[/quote']

I'm so thankful I've found this forum as a outlet cause I feel like u..I lost track a few days and didn't get nowhere near goal with my Protein. Revamping it tho this week and gonna hit it hard. If u ever need to talk I'm here..for u and anyone else. We are in this together and all kinda have the same ups and downs

Hope everyone feels better soon! I hard some bad days but backed off to liquids for a few days and then felt better. I think in my case I pushed the foods too quickly at the beginning.

Meatloaf sounds good. Think I will make that tonight. I use the recipe on the back of the Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix box. My family loves it and it is easy.

Girl, I have been stuck on 274 for two weeks now. I don't know how it happens when were only eating appx 700 calories a day. I'm two months post op, I thought I'd thought I would've lost a bit more than 45 pounds.

oh well, its not a gain...

So I had an appt with my pcp today. Here I thought I was doing well and he says he expected me to be Down more pounds. :( it was kind of defeating. So needless to say my 45 minutes on the treadmill or bike is getting doubled starting now.

Update on Gallbladder scan....no stones but i got sludge in there. They called it biliary dyskinesia. Have only had very mild left side pain. Dr. said the sludge "could" turn to stones. I don't know what to do??? Should i get it out or wait and see if stones do form? Also, unrelated to gallbladder. Today my pouch is grouchy and crampy....first time since surgery i've had cramps in my pouch that were this uncomfortable.

      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.
