I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)



Recommended Posts

WOW!!! You have done an amazing job!!! If you don't mind me asking what is your weekly exercise routine and what does a typical daily intake include for you as far as calories/protein/carbs? I am 3.5 months out and would love to have your success in 9 months or even a years time. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you! Admittedly, I don't really exercise which I suppose is a no-no but I have two jobs and when I'm not working I'm sleeping. I eat about 1200 calories a day, give or take a couple hundred. I exceed my nutrionists goal of 55g of Protein a day. I don't dwell on carbs too much because fruit and veggies have carbs, I just stay away from a lot of starch and sugar. Thankfully sweets make me sick so there's no problem there! I don't pay too much attention to macros, I just make sure to count my calories, keep it reasonable, and plan my "nights out" or treats accordingly.

I've found a good balance, my doctor is thrilled with what I'm doing, and I'm still losing about 2 lbs a week so it seems to be working just fine for me!

OK I've finally decided to be brave and post a couple of photos, apologies they are pretty poor quality as I'm not overly fond of pictures but before was June last year, the latest one is yesterday (I was obviously concentrating on something else in that one ????)

      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.
