You can't deny yourself everything. You'll go crazy. I still occasionally have pizza or even a cookie. Why? Because if I don't one day I'm going to binge.

But now it's a slice or two of pizza - not half of a pizza. And it's one cookie - not half a dozen.

Thank you. I'm feeling better today. Allot of walking. Must want to make sure i haven't stretched pouchy. Today shakes and Soups. Tomorrow back to the plan...just going to watch my portions.

I just hit my Protein goal for the day without any protein supplement! My nutritionist wanted me to start weaning off the shake and today it was possible! It will be hard to do on work days since I had the time to cook a protein rich Breakfast and lunch, but it's one step closer to no more protein shakes!

Fellow Junies-- I need advice. I'm battling serious head hunger lately. It feels like I'm ravenous, sometimes right after eating. I'm getting all my Protein and doing well otherwise. Help!

Hi Lisa

There could be a physical reason for the hunger. My clinic has told us that at about 7 to 8 months the nerves around our pouch that signal hunger, begin to function normally again. This is why for the first 6 months my clinic has such a very strict eating plan, they want to take full advantage of this time when we are not feeling physical hunger. I don't think most of us are at 7 months yet, but I am sure this is based on averages, so I am sure there are some people that face it sooner. I would recommend a call to your NUT to see what they would suggest.

If it is head hunger, then RJ's advice could not be better. The only thing I would add is that is when I sometimes am able to down a big glass of Water. The water fills me up until the head hunger passes. The smell of food, like pizza, chocolate, and frying bacon, really get to me! Keep up the good fight!

I just want to tell everyone thank you for all the support. I honesty don't think I could be doing this without y'all. I'd be totally lost.

I have no family, except my kids and very few friends. None of my friends have gone through this and would have no clue about the struggles we face almost daily.

So again...thank you!

Speaking of new clothes... Has anyone noticed they need to buy smaller shoes? I wore a pair of boots last night from last winter.. They were too big in the calves, no biggie i tucked my jeans into them. But as the night went on my feet started to hurt and I think it is because the shoes are now too wide for my feet... crazy! :) Time for new boots!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
