I think my ticker is showing my weight loss still. Not as fast as my peers but I am grateful and happy with my progress, so far. I could have never lost this much in such a short amount of time without WLS.

Really try to get 6 meals a day in. It will totally help you feel better. Have you tried Unjury or nectar or Chike. Those are my favorites. I am 3 mis out and now getting about 850 cal a day. That's with 2 shakes a day.

I'm choking down nectar. I have a chike sample I can try, and I haven't tried unjury. That's my plan, increase my meals and 2 shakes a day. The plan is still far from reality, but I have to start somewhere!

One thing I tried was to add orange crystal light to the vanilla one. Tastes like a cream cycle!! You can add things to those shakes to make them better. Some people add those sugar free Torini to them but I never did try it. You will find one that you like hopefully!! The Unjury is pretty good.

Time to check in also. Had surgery 5/20' am down 55 lbs. and feeling great. The only thing I can't eat is Peanut Butter or anything with it in it. Have had all kinds of meats and they don't bother me. Am loving my new life. Hope everyone else is doing well too.

Peanut butter bothers me too as well as chicken. I liked both before surgery though. It is weird how things change as far as food goes. I don't care for sweets anymore either.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
