And don't the like the directions say... It's way better frozen solid.. It takes a few minutes to soften as you eat, but so worth it!!! I got mine from Walmart.. I've not seen them in awhile, if you can't find there, Bed Bath and Beyond might have!!! And if not there get it on Amazon... I've seen them on there..

Okay, I am late to joining the party, but I just recently found Bariatricpal! I was sleeved on May 11th, putting me 3 months post-op. So far I am down almost 77lbs., but have hit the "3 month stall" this past week.

I just walked my very first 5K race last night! I am very fortunate to have a huge support system, but it is nice to know that I now have those of you who "get it" because you have been there!!

My biggest dilemma right now is what to do about clothes. I have purged my closet of TONS of things ... I went from a 26/28 to now being in a 14/16. I start back to work in a few weeks and although I cannot fit in any of my old clothes, I cannot afford a new wardrobe either. SUGGESTIONS????

I just started back to work this week. I am getting by on wearing dresses or skirts that I can still get away with wearing, esp those that have a belt. I decided no pants for awhile as all of them don't fit and I don't want to buy any. Though I do have 1 pair of skinny jeans that still fit though they are not as fitting anymore. I found I can wear some of my old shirts with those, the style right now is a bit baggy on top, so it works for now-though no jeans at work! I took my passable clothes to a consignment shop and even picked up a "new" dress while I was there for only $10! It has been a little frustrating but I feel good so I am just making it work!

I wanna say , wow , 26/28 down to 14/16 , amazing. U must feel great.

I fortunately had many different sizes in closet due to my constant yo-yo dieting. I did donate 5 large bags full of clothes to goodwill. So I'm limited as to what clothes I have left.

I say go ahead and shop a little. Just shop on the cheap , consignment shops , stores like old navy and places that carry things for $10

Great problem to have, huh? I've been going to Goodwill, Thrift stores and checking out the clearance racks at department stores (Ross, TJ Max, Marshalls) I'm also blessed to have 4 sisters that I can borrow clothes from. Not everyone has sisters, but maybe you have some friends or family members you can ask?

Yesterday was my 3 mo anniversary! Down 65 lbs! Happy with my progress! Frustrated with my moving and my surgeon not wanting to do anything for me from afar, but hopefully things will work out soon!

I'm 3.5 months post op. Down 60 lbs from highest weight. I'm averaging about a 2 lb weight loss each week.

As long as scale continues to go down I'm ok with 2 lb a week.

Continue to struggle with getting Protein and Water in each day. Even with some says being a struggle, no regrets here.

Congrats on 60! My nutritionist did not give a Protein requirement but recommends protein first and very little slider foods. I have been using myfitnesspal and know that I am around 35-50 G protein per day, sometimes in the 60s-which I know is lower than most are expected to do.

        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!

    • 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
