I don't drink much Water.. cant seem to get enough. I am at maybe 20 oz. I know I know.. I need more.. Its just so hard. The only foods I like are the ones listed and I can eat cream of wheat. I can eat really any Soup, but I was told from my nurse that I shouldn't eat too much Soup because I am getting full off of liquid, but I do try to eat as little liquid from the soup as possible.

Maybe you ARE getting enough liquids. Even though you only seem to get 20 oz of Water, remember that the liquid from your soup also counts for water. You are probably getting more than you realize.

definitely! I tried just a small teaspoon of rice. It tasted horrible. And all I could think of was THANK GOODNESS! Rice was my weakness, and since it tasted so bad, I don't have the urg to try it at all. I'm thankful about that! I can't tolerate pork at all either.

Sleeved jan 16. Pre-surgery weight was 284. This morning I was at 219. So I'm losing quite a bit, but I have been feeling very lethargic the last 4 or 5 days. Anyone else having very low energy?

I was sleeved January 14th and am now down 48lbs. I've been doing good but this last week or so I am starting to have a harder time. I thought it would be harder in the Beginning rather than 2 1/2 months out.

Its interesting that you mention teeth. I last week noticed my front teeth would move. Not a major shift, but I would have a small feeling of shifting. It hasn't happened this week (it freaked me out last week). I am going to bring it up to my doctor when I go next week. I'm getting my calcium/citrate in, and I know I don't have Calcium deficiencies. So it will be interesting to see what he says.

My surgery was 01/06/14. SW 264 current weight 213.

I don't really track food. I do get in 100g of Protein a day. I also never get in all of my Water. It's so hard for me.

Funny you mention this....I've been doing great but have not been able to get myself going this week for some reason. I don't know if it's the continued cold weather or what. I've been trying to up my calories (I get my protein) to see if that would help but it's so hard to do!

Hi all!

I was sleeved 1/28 SW 287 CW 244. I just had a follow up visit and my NUT said she was disappointed with my weightloss!

Although I listen and follow my plan I'm glad I don't live for how others feel about me! LOL I'm happy about my loss thus far and reading everyone else's stats seems like I'm right on track....

They tell us in our classes that we need to be doing this for us and that we shouldn't compare ourselves to others as we are all different. Then they tell someone they aren't loosing enough? I don't think so. We have enough stress of the real world telling us we aren't good enough because of our body size. We don't need the professionals doing the same thing.

Just wondering what was everyone eating the first two weeks. I was on 2 oz of Protein Shake 3x a day for that period. Was ok because no hunger.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
