2 weeks in and already blew it.



Recommended Posts

I'm pre op. I have my consultation scheduled in 2 weeks. I've been on a diet for 2 weeks since attending the seminar trying to watch portions and count calories replacing meals with Protein shakes.

Well I've been sick since Tuesday with the stomach flu and colitis. I haven't really eaten since Monday

I was feeling better today and had cottage cheese and sliced peaches, an orange for morning snack.

popcorn chicken with ranch for lunch.

And as a snack..... 1 handful of bunchacrunch. They were calling to me. The milk also called to me too. That together was almost 500 calories.

Barely 2 weeks in. This worries me.

@@tssiemer We are only human and mistakes happen. Don't beat yourself up for it! Just try to get back on your path and remember what your end result is! Keep your head up - YOU GOT THIS!

You are still pre-op and trying to learn the right eating behaviors. You also know where you slipped up and how many calories it cost you. I'm sure before now, you would have eaten the same thing and not thought twice about it??!! I wouldn't say that is "blowing it". Don't let a slip up get you down! Instead, remember it and try not to give in again. You can do this, believe in yourself!

Get rid of all the junk in your house. Keep good options with you at all times, high quality Protein bars, nut packets, etc.

And don't let it get you down, just start fresh.

LOL! Yep, that about sums it up! When 10:00 rolls around, drink a bottle of Water and GO TO BED! The longer you stay up, the more temptation will sneak up on you.

        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
