I bought a Magic Bullet yesterday and used it for the first time this morning for my Protein drink! I did the normal scoop of protein poweder, 1 cup skim milk and then added in a banana. Oh my goodness! There are no chunks at all so I can drink it and it tastes delicious! So much better than just the protein and milk by itself! I would recommend purchasing one if you haven't already! I live in Iowa and purchased it at costco for $35.00! I couldn't resist!

Secondly...

I find that in the evenings I am not hungry as much as I mentally crave food. All kinds of food. Good food, bad food, it doesn't matter. I think I'm going through with-drawls. I can't eat whatever I want, when I want and at the amount I want. Part of me realizes and is quite glad I can't because those actions are what got me in to this mess in the first place so many years ago, and the other part of me thinks about how long my stomach has been there for me. Always able to swallow my feelings. Never turned away from me or told me no or judged me when I couldn't control the things going on around me. It is definitely a wake up call for my stomach and brain with the hopes to finally unite in the right direction!

Hi Brookie,

I have difficulties in the evening too. On the nghts I'm home, it is a struggle. About 3 nights a week I go to a Zumba class which helps. I have to stop eating 3 hours before bed or I get bad reflux in the middle of the night. I am actually physically hungry after a Zumba class (I eat dinner at 6:00, then go to class from 7:15 to 8:15) but can't eat anything because of acid it would cause. Then I wake up the next morning starving! I agree, on the non Zumba nights it is nothing but head hunger.

      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
