Everyones menus looks great but I'm still in the large portion frame of mind.

Of course I'm still a newbie but it looks like a lot of menus are very low calorie. Apparently it's been working for you though?

I was told to have between 1000-1200 calories because any lower I would have a hard time losing weight.

Again, everyone here seems to be doing well by your stats.

Any comments appreciated.

thats my experience. i didn't lose much in the beginning, and that was having my calories around 800-900. my daily avg is around 1100.

I LOVE the recipes/snack ideas over at http://www.hungry-girl.com -- plus they keep track of all the cool new stuff that comes out to help those who are trying to lose weight, not be hungry AND -- get this -- be balanced! (I love the idea of Fiber One Toaster Pastries -- and getting enough fiber in my diet has definitely been a challenge! I had to get a prescription for Miralax a/k/a polyethylene glycol to get things moving again) -- has anyone else discovered that website, too? :w00t: :lol:

32 pounds down, 45 more to go to goal!

My doc wants me around 900-1000 calories and i think that's crap lol. i told him straight out that i don't count..and when i start slowing down on my weight loss i'll start. SO i just make sure i eat good portions and make decent choices.

well i've had a bad experience yesterday and today. i think i'm too full..not so much so that anything comes up, but if i sip Water or try to eat i get this extreme burning in my chest and throat. at one point i just starting crying. i didn't end up eating anything i posted yesterday...just two bites of a corn cake...and nothing yet today. SO i called my doc last night and he was nice enough to come in to the office today (they are closed) and i think he had surgery today as well--earlier. i'm going to get this week's fill--unfilled and boy am i happy i have a doc that cares enough to come in so i don't have to suffer until monday.

i'll be happy to post-hopefully-soup later. wish me luck!

      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.
