@@byebyedarkpassenger Our team is growing! It doesn't really matter when you start just jump in! I didn't plan this so well. I didn't think anyone would want to do it so I just thought "well I may as well ask" and here you all are! It's actually pretty fun and it's keeping me ultra motivated!

My weigh in days are Wednesdays and Sundays- it was very hard not to peek, probably will be even harder tomorrow! I half expect to lose nothing since the calories will be so lo, but part of me has hope. I love this because I don't have to plan what I'm gonna eat. It takes some of the decisions out of my day.

I am going to CAVE to the peer pressure that is this thread in a modified form.

Today I will have only liquids (coffee, coke zero, honey whiskey, cheese dip), Protein (meatballs, chicken wings, sausage dip) and NO CARBS. Halloween party tonight.

Not even one mini snickers. Sigh.

"coffee, coke zero, honey whiskey, cheese dip), Protein (meatballs, chicken wings, sausage dip"

Man, that is going to be one really messy Trick-or-Treat bag. :)

I'm tempted as well! I feel frustrated because I'm just not losing much anymore. The scale even went up a couple pounds this week. The most annoying thing is that I'm not eating anything bad!!!!!! I still eat the same stuff I always have. I don't know. Maybe in snacking too much??

I did okay yesterday UNTIL I got home and hubby cooked BACON on the grill!!! I had two pieces with my smoothie and a couple of spoons of hummus as a "dip".

I stopped my BP meds a couple of days ago and I am eating a Protein bar in the morning (4-5am) today to get the extra energy to make it through - I am on going all liquid now.

Water isn't the problem for me...its getting to the bathroom and not "puddling" on the way if someone stops me!!!!!

@@Elode thanks I needed this extra challenge and reminder about the "junk" and necessity of water!!!

Although the five day liquid diet is a very admirable endeavor, it is not for me right now. Even though getting five pounds below goal would allow me some wiggle room, it would make my face even more bony. Besides, I'll be forced into doing liquids sometime this year when the flu or strep come around. I'm around kids constantly and it happens every year.

I did a full six weeks of fluids (two weeks pre op plus one month post op) and I was practically gnawing on my arm toward the end of it. My last ten pounds was coming off slowly, so I used garcinia cambogia (citrimax) along with afternoon coffee for a few weeks. It seemed to help.

I've given in to a few pieces of Halloween candy these past few days. My street is wildly popular on Halloween night and we usually get around 200 kids. I've tried hiding the candy from myself with no avail. I'm actually looking forward to getting rid of it all.

      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.
