That is a great idea! I never even thought of Protein bars!! Protein Shakes are harder, I am ok with Unjury, but cannot stomach them each day. I hate drinking protein, SO I will have to get a bit more creative. My new years resolution! I am so grateful to everyone here, ddc96 (that is a heart in case it come up weird) Also to add to the other great photos, I am 2 months out tomorrow (halloween surgery) I am down a total of 88lbs. 50 prior to surgery, and 38 in 2 months. I cannot complain at that!

Holy moly!!! U look amazing girl!!!!! WOW!!!! Congrats!!! Keep up whatever u r doing!!!!!!! :)

Love the before and after pics!!! I need to find a before…

I have my 3 month appointment coming up next monday.. I'm supposed to do blood work, but I'm a little nervous about it.. I've had an infection in my tooth, long story short, the dentist opened up the tooth to let it drain and I've been on antibiotics for a couple days.. Since all of this tooth business, I have not taken any Vitamins, I can't chew at all.. I'm hoping once the pain goes away I can start chewing.. I know its only for a few days, but with the blood work coming up, I'm a little nervous it'll show up that I'm deficient.. I guess I'll have to see what happens…

I am so sorry you are going through this! Hugs. I also hope your blood work comes back fine! I am positive in thinking that it will, you have been trying so very hard at this.

Thanx!! I'll definitely explain to the surgeon what happened, but I'm hoping the blood work comes back good!!

Thanks, ladies! I can't wait to see your progress pics. Even though I've gone down 2-3 sizes so far, it wasn't until I put my photos side by side that I saw a difference. Molly

I did the same thing. I was so excited after seeing the side by side shots, like "omg! Now I know why everyone else keeps telling me I'm melting". I just don't think we really see the full extent of our weightless when we see ourselves in the mirror everyday.

        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
