Lol, probably best not to copy yesterday's menu! Mainly champagne and wine, with a bit of Christmas dinner in the middle somewhere. But I did go for a run in the morning.

Today we had breakfast outside (its summer here) - fresh apricots, cherries and mango, some yogurt. lunch was salmon sashimi.

I think I'm going to make another barbecued peach and ham salad for dinner.< /p>

Jachut- what all do you put on the salad? Just peaches and ham and ?? I am still preband (2 more weeks!) but I love grilled fruits like pineapples...yummy!

Today is wednesday but on monday evening I had my 4th fill (of 1 ml) and now have 7ml in my band. I feel like a stuffed turkey all the time! It kept me awake the first night actually. Tuesday I had:

a sip of coffee at 10am

half a cup of thin Tomato Soup at 3pm (as couldn't get it down any earlier)

a 100ml pro biotic yog.

half an egg scrambled and half a cracker with 2 tsp baked Beans

I managed a pint of warm blackcurrant squash/juice before bed as Water is difficult for me to drink quickly.

Do you think my band is now too tight?

I've gotten into the somewhat bad habit of having a Skinny Caramel Latte from Starbucks every morning during the week (when I'm at work). It's either a Grande or a Venti. I've found that the espresso in these bad boys keeps me flying (hunger-free) for several hours. I typically don't get hungry for 4 or 5 hours, at which point it's time for lunch.

My question is, is this an acceptable substitute for breakfast? Or am I still technically skipping a meal, thus hindering weight loss? I'm only 2mos post-op and am pretty much stalled at 15lbs since surgery - which is frustrating in itself. I go for my 2nd fill on Friday.

I just want to know if having a low calorie Starbucks drink for "breakfast" is a bad thing. I know that breakfast is technically the most important meal of the day, and if I'm not eating real food, I feel like I might be starving my body and thus doing more harm than good.

Thanks in advance!

no idea.

forcing myself to "eat" breakfast each day was one of the harder problems i had in adjusting to band life. i had a venti/non fat/double shot/latte for yrs for breakfast and in that time i went from 130lbs to 200lbs. not having a meal till 1pm did nothing for my metabolism. i wake up hungry most mornings and want to eat - this is a FIRST for me. talk with your dr at the next fill and see what he/she says.

        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
