URGH, not too lucky…my NOT eating all of my calories has made the scale move UP, not down…I guess I will have to MAKE myself eat today :(

I feel you on that though :/ I ate the most calorie dense foods I could after more than 2 days in a row. Just for a day to get things moving again. I still had a hard time getting anywhere close to a good amount of calories...but since I could only handle that little amount of food if seemed alright. Maybe that explains the cravings Im fighting now though...Scratch that...DON'T do that :/

Morning, my friends. Quiet day at work, it's nice. Since we are going out for Thanksgiving for the first time ever, we are trying to think of things to do in the city while we are there. Movie? 8PM early sales? We are having dinner at the restaurant at 4 pm. Any suggestions on things to do?

What is going to be so weird this Thanksgiving is eating before dinner. In past years I saved up my appetite all day for the big meal. This year that won't work, since I won't be able to eat more if I skip meals early in the day or not. And skipping meals early in the day will hose my Protein intake.

Susan, since you are following this thread, could you consider passing along suggestions mentioned above to alex?

The more I think about it, the more I realize that having the list of "new" gastric sleeve stuff going on the right side of the screen is what prompted me to respond to posts no matter what forum. As a vet, I don't necessarily click on each and every forum (I would argue we have too many of them!) but when I see a title that looks like I might have something to add, I look into it. I suspect part of what is happening now is that many of us only go to threads we are already posting in because it is a pain to click into each forum and explore "whats new". I do realize there is a new content button, but somehow it just isn't the same.

I feel as though I have "lost" some of the regulars. I NEVER see their posts and I don't know why. There is something different about the navigation that I am just not being triggered to find them. Maybe the main issue really does relate to the mobile device issues... not sure... but somehow we have lost alot of regulars....

Well, I hardly go to Facebook any more. Too many changes for my old brain to cope with. And I used an app on my phone called Shape Up Club, and they recently "upgraded" too. The app is unusable and they have lost all of my carefully recorded daily weight status since surgery. Gutted.

I'll have to check the app out again. I do have it on my Android phone, but I mostly used the iPad app. At work I use a PC to post (because I'm working so hard!)

Hi there! Anyone care to pass this on to Alex or Susan or someone??? I joined as "gardengirl" over the summer. Loved VST. Got locked out after the merger. Re registered as "gardengirl2". Got locked out again. Re registered third time as "gardengirl14 or 16". Can't remember. Anyway, I just want my old account back. Every time I write to the tech people it kicks me out. Can I get someone to help? Or just take this as a hint...? And finally: my daughter who has read and loved Hunger Games, Divergent books, and Fault in our Stars found a new mini series she is crazy for that starts with a book called "The Selection". And for all of us, kids and grown ups alike, read "Wonder". Simply amazing. Happy Thanksgiving all".

        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
