Thou shall keep thy follow up appointments with thy doctor...always....okay I do 2 of these right!

*Thou shall always take thy vitamins...3 I do three right

*Thou shall not weigh thyself more than once per week.....try once every 2 months.

*Thou shall always keep the memory of the past and hope of the future as a clear image in thy mind..I like this one!

I never get bogged down in the diet aspect of this program. I failed at dieting...been there done that.

I have committed myself to finding the reason for the addiction and am trying to fix it....will take a long time.

I work every day to like myself and see the good in me.

I look at each new day as a new gift at life now.

I forgive myself when I make mistakes. that is a hard one but I do not obsess about that anymore.

I have decided that I will work to have a better stronger body..through exercise.

That's all I can think of right now!

  1. Eat Protein first

Never drink fluids 30min before, 30min after a meal

Eat 0.5g protein per lb lean body mass (100-110g protein for me)

Track all intake and exercise (aim for 1000kcal daily - when full stop)

Eat slowly (my primary issue - pacing myself is a problem)

Drink at least 80 oz Water daily

Relax, I got unhealthy over 25+ years, 1-2 years to lose the fat and get healthy is ok

Make the changes permanent - if it is a short term thing don't do it until I am mentally prepared to do so

Move daily but don't obsess

Fix the head, the body will follow

        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
