Got all my protein in today



Recommended Posts

And I feel full and satisfied. I had guacamole as well for lunch hopefully the good fats will keep my hair in place!. 22 days 17 pounds in a bit of a stall now but I've not had more than 500 calories in 23 days I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon.

good job! I drink premier Protein in chocolate or strawberry. it has 30gms of Protein per drink and doesn't taste bad. I get it at sam's. I read that if you keep you daily protein up to 70 or so gms that it will help in the prevention of hair loss around the 6month or 9 month. I drink one for Breakfast with my meds and the other at night. Best of health on your journey!

I do watch my calories and I keep a journal. I typically find just a few things that I like and eat them over and over. I read all the labels when I buy something. At 9 weeks out i'm probably getting around 800 calories a day. My day usually looks like this: morning I have premier Protein with my meds (160 cal). at snack time I have a light yogurt (90 cal) at lunch I'll eat my lettuce wraps or something similar (2 leaves at mix 160 cal) snack is another yogurt or blueberries as light cool whip (90 cal) and then for dinner maybe 3tbl of refried Beans with cheese and 4-5 scoop chips (maybe 100 cal) then at night I have another Protein Drink with meds. (160 cal) (approx 760/day) sometimes I might snack on things like edamame or wasabi peas but I usually stick to the same diet. Only change is if I go over to my mother's....then i'll eat something different but it's usually only a few bites. She made cabbage rolls the other night and my eyes were bigger than my stomach lol I took 2 small ones and could still only eat 1. It's been an interesting journey so far. take care

        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
