@acampbell1318 - You will get there!!! I try not to stress out about the stalls.. I just came out of a really long stall.. it is what it is... I look at it this way, i am down X amout of weight and that is better then where i started from... I know in time i will lose if i keep doing what my dr & nut set up for me. To be honest, i wish i was a little bit of a slower loser, i am starting to see the effects on my skin from losing so fast... I try to eat mostly whole foods (very little processed - just a handfull of items and thats it) Every morning: (and yes i mean every morning) I have an egg white with a slice of Am cheese. (sometimes i have 2 egg whites, but most times i cant eat all of it) some times i have 1/2 of a whole grain english muffin and one egg white w/chz.. (only once or twice a week) Mid morning: i will have one of the following - half apple, Protein Shake, nuts, fruit, rolled up turkey breast with cheese or greek yogurt. Lunch: one of the following: steak, shrimp, chicken and if i have room, maybe a small spring salad (we are talking 1/2 cup for all of this) or some kind of raw veggie (but only like one or two bites then im full) - some times its chicken salad (very little light mayo) with few slices of cheese, and maybe 1/2 apple or 4 triscuits... Mid afternoon: (sometimes i skip this cause i am not hungry, but if i am it might be the rest of my lunch or one of the Snacks already listed above) Dinner: some kind of meat/fish... (normally its a long the lines of lunch) If i go out to eat, i have left overs for lunch & dinner for a few days... Snack: (not always but maybe 2 times a week - some frozen yogurt (about 1/8 - 1/4cup) really its just a taste... I stay away from all pork products, and most processed foods - my new tummy just doesnt like it. I dont really care for ground meats anymore either... its too heavy for me. I only drink Water, skim milk, Protein Shakes, once in a while i will have unsweeten Tea or G2 low cal. (but not too often) - also i dont drink but maybe 2-3 oz of wine MAYBE once or twice a month... my new tummy just doesnt like it... but my brain does LOL I also walk every day... Some days i try to add running/jogging into it. I just started riding my bike again... I pretty much do the same thing everyday, becuase its what works for me... Dont worry you WILL get there!!! I have posted some pictures... but i will see if i can get a picture taken today and post it - Thanks everyone - i love this site, the support is awesome... sometimes it just what we need!!! Happy Tuesday!

      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
