I had a Jr frosty from Wendy's for Breakfast. Not starting off right, lol. I have moments when I want to eat something while I can, cause I know I won't be able to later but, I try to counteract those bad calories with healthier choices the rest of the day & extra Protein. My fitness pal helps me get thru the day. Would be lost without it.

I am also using my fitness pal, I have used it for a few years it works last time I logged regularly and was exercising I got down to 200 lbs. my mom died in April and I'm back up to 240. But that's a big reason for the surgery I want to live... For my kids and for me. Watching her die from cancer killed me I want to live long and healthy for them.

I am very sorry about your mom. I lost my husband to cancer 13 months ago. Very difficult watching someone you love die! I gained 20 lbs after his death. I have a a 7 month old granddaughter I want to get healthy & be around a long time for her.

I have completed all my tests & just waiting to see cardiologists on 11/6 to get cardiac clearance then request insurance approval. I have almost reached the 15 lbs my surgeon wanted me to lose before surgery. Hope your appt. goes well.

I'm sorry for your loss as well. I did my cardiac clearance already. I am so ready! I am on a three day streak of eating right. That's actually the longest I have gone in a while. I'm hoping to lose about 15 lbs before surgery, but I can't lose more than 20 I have to keep my BMI over 40.

Brew city in the house! Had my 5th appt. Today yeah. Sad to say I gained 8lbs. But I knew going to this appt there was going to be an increase in my weight, due to my lack of excercise in the months of Sept. And most of Oct. But my back and knee are feeling better and I'm slowly taking walks around the neighborhood. I have scheduled my surgery for January 12, Columbia St.Mary's. Thank you all for responding to this message. My Doctor is Craig Siverhus. MKE is Milwaukee. Last week was my psych the report was recieved by my doctor. Saw the dietician today, she is a wonderful resource for me. It feel nice to know, knowledge is power. Good luck to all. Please let's encourage each other. Peace and love????????????✌

      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.
