Doing good here!

The high winds today kicked my allergies into high gear. But other than that had a painting class last night and not missing drinking at all! I had Decaf tea and took Vitamin Water zero squeezed lemonade and had a great time!

Hope everyone is doing great!

I'm doing pretty good! :-) Vitamins are going well. So is Fluid intake. Not where I need to be on Protein but I'm working on it. Trying to keep it consistent. I'm down 15 pounds since surgery. 23 lbs including weight lost pre-op. And people are noticing, which is great and encourages me!

Great semply!

I just picked up a different chewable Vitamin at Vitamin Shoppe, like it so much better than the chewable so got at GNC. And they are for bariatric patients so I'm hoping better. I also picked up Biotin dissolvable dots... Not sure they actually will help with Hair loss but heard about them enough on here figured it couldn't hurt? My nails should be better for taking it at least!

It's my TOM and for 1st time recorded a loss during! However, my cramps are out of this world and cannot take my usual ibuprofen so finally took Tylenol, which only helped for a few hours! Boo my six week appt is next week Monday and I have a few question on what I can take since I've have pretty bad cramps every other month...

I am doing good. My only area of work is getting in enough walking. Semply-I use Isopure Protein. It has 42g of protein in 3.8ounces. It really helps me get in 60-70g.

I'm walking a couple of miles 3 days a week... Probably not ideal, but right now it is what I can do with my schedule. Still not eating 1000 calories, trying to keep the Protein and Water up... Seems to be working. I'm still eating Soups with fish, mashed potatoes and beans... Bit nervous to venture further... Weight loss feels super slow... About 3 pounds in last 2 weeks.

        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!

      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
