I have been having dizzy spells so I sent a message to my dr. He asked about my bp which I didn't even consider. I take three different bp pills a day. I checked my bp and it was super low (89/56). I stopped taking my meds on friday and my bp is still in control. This evening after work which is usually my most stressful time of day it was 107/78. Yay!! Im praying it stays in a healthy range. :)

Glad you called the dr! Great news about being off the meds!

Hi Junies!! Quick question... I usually eat eggs for Breakfast, but got an early Christmas gift from my honey (a Ninja blender set)!! Anywayyy, this morning I made a big ol' Protein Shake for breakfast, which tasted awesome and packed a nice Protein punch! The problem?? I was STARVING by about 10 Am. I never experience this with eggs. I can go all morning on one egg and some cheese. Anyone else experience this with just having a shake? Wondering if maybe I just need to bulk up the shake a bit with some greens and stuff...

I go through this periodically but not just a protein shake, but i try to drink some Water and go for a walk til lunch or supper, once I get back into fat burn, I'm not hungry no more.

Just when I think I have this whole eating thing under control, I hit the holidays. SIGHS... Dang sausage balls. Bane of my existance. At least I only take one at a time. Then walk all the way back from my office to get another one. Rinse repeat. I don't get this hungry at home when I have such goodies. I am making myself wait a legit amount of time before making the trek back to get another one. I'm trying......

Want to know my goals for the next two weeks?

1. Maintain my weight

2. Log my food.< /p>

3. Have anything I want as long as it is logged.

4. Enjoy myself and not stress if the scale doesn't move

5. Enjoy my family and friends and not worry about if I had an extra bite or something. It's life and we should enjoy all experiences.

6. Most importantly I plan to be easy on myself and not beat myself up or feel like a failure if my diet isnt perfect.

Setting this list has been so freeing for me.

Oh id add drink my Water and get my Protein. Not worry about calories.

I hope this helps. :)

Great! Enjoy yourself and live your life. Maintaining for a couple of weeks might give you a jump start when you start up again too. That's my hope. We've got this!

Happy holidays!! :)

I wholeheartedly agree with this, this is a lifetime commitment, stay with in bounds, make sure you get your protein in, but have that extra bite of something new,( means not a mouth full) and a taste of that, but at the same time if your not hungry why eat extra. I'm just one donut bite away from going into a binge and I don't want that, it happen once and the sleeve stopped it quick and I was miserable for like 35 min. But by all means don't feel guilty of having a meatball, just log your food like it was said above and keep track of what passes by those lips and take that long walk outside, the colder the more calories you burn. You burn more calories in the winter months than you do in the summer so take advantage of it.

      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.
