<p>So i went out with friends last night. Amazing time. I have had alcohol in the past wine makes me a little tipsy, beer just makes me full... Last night we had a cream type wine and some shots before we went to the bar. OMG I didn't know if I was going to be able to walk down the stairs to the car! I'm such a light weight now. It was a fun tipsy feeling and once I was at the bar I switched to Water. Danced for 2 hours and had a blast! One of my friends said I looked like a cute little barbie doll last night. haha made my night!</p>

Lol.. Sounds like you went out and had some fun, we all need to get out and enjoy ourselves once in a while, that's just our life time commitment!! Way to go!

Opinions please! While i have always enjoyed cooking, I now find my creative cooking side is activated since my RNY . Lets face it my healthy food choices outside of this home and what i pack along with me are lets says limited. This mornings Breakfast consists of fresh sliced avocado.low fat feta cheese, egg substitute and topped with a peach mango salsa ..... Very tasty !!!! ;) Is any one else going through a cooking Renaissance :-) RJ

I am!!! I just realized that I could very well be a good cook. I've never had to patience to try wholeheartedly before. I was just too distracted by the food and completing the task. It's so much easier to cook for quality not quantity. Amazing.

I know what you mean! before it was speed so i could shove it in my face. Now the quality and healthy nutritional concerns,not to mention the over all taste explosion are job #1 . No bland food for this hombre.

So tonight when I got home I started to cook dinner. I live in florida so we grill a lot. It is a bit chilly tonight (63 degrees). So I went to my drawer and pulled out my old favorite sweats. The pants fell off. I told my hubby I think the elastic grew in the drawer. Lol....

True story. :)

P.s. I need new sweats for when it gets fridgid in the 50s.

I am curious to see how much in volume you all can eat per meal now and around how many calories you consume a day. I've noticed an increase and I know that's probably normal, but I don't want to over eat.

I just got done eating dinner and got down 3.5 ounces of pork, two bites of potato. That was a lot for me! I am typically between 800 and 900 calories a day, 75 to 80 grams Protein, 70 to 100 grams carbs and 20 grams fat. My nut is happy with all of it but wants my carbs at 100 grams. I am just still full after getting my protein in most days. I log all ny food and find it helps on days like today when my volume felt high for dinner.

How about you?

Well good-luck to everyone above and they way it sounds you have been doing fantastic so far! Remember it's not a race, as much as it is a life time commitment, I'm aiming on 240 lbs, weighed out today at 274.4. Thats 136.6lbs of loss, at 6'6 I'm hearing now that i look great now not to lose no more but let's see how it goes.

That's a hell of a weight loss! Congrats! I only hop to be as successful. I have 79 lbs to lose (dr goal) or 99 lbs for personal goal. I wish u all the best! :)

You will do it!! I like to go for walks anywhere from 30min to 60 min and I go for bike rides 10-30 miles weather permitting . I have so much energy now that I have to release it somehow. Thankyou for your kind words. You will do it just day by day. Good luck to you

I don't know what to say, except if the temp in Minnesota got up to 50 we wouldn't just be grilling, we would be outside walking or jogging in shorts! Congrats on needing new sweats! I can't wait to buy shorts!

:) working for mayo clinic I have to travel to rochester Minnesota several times a year. I was supposed to be there last week and am so glad the trip got canceled because friends of mine told me about the minus zero temps. I think I would have died from cold. I was there in january last year and it was 4 degrees one day and I couldnt breath it was so cold.

I'll take my 50s in florida. Lol

I haven't checked my blood sugar since 2 weeks post op. I came across my needles and strips, so I decided to check the level this morning. It was 97! I have not had the morning level be under 148 in over a year! So excited!

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        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
