Okay, I'm traveling for business this week and wondering what I'm going to do when I have dinner with clients.

It was hard last week, but I had a guy next to me for three days that are my food. I kinda grazed my fork over soft stuff and tasted here and there. Just act uninterested in food. Also, take shakes and packages tuna for your hotel room.

You can do it!

It's our 4 week anniversary!!

Hard to believe 4 weeks ago I was in so much pain with the surgery! We are here now, pain free and I am 22.4 pounds lighter than the day of surgery. That's on average 5 pounds + per week. I will take it! How is the rest of the 2/9 team??

Hey guys! I can't believe it's been a month already! I weighed in today and I am 26 pounds down! I can't believe it! I'm 5'5, and my preop weight was 244.5 and today I'm 216.6. I was not expecting such a loss, so I'm thrilled. Starting a regular diet today, so that's a plus, too. [emoji1]

Hi 2/9ers Happy Monday I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.

MXKitty that cake and ice cream looks great, how did you enjoy the Protein Mug Cake?

Positive - congrats on successfully making it through your work trip. It's great that you were able to stick to your plan with all of the temptations that were in front of you. I'm glad that you're excited about your weigh in, I wasn't so happy about mine. I haven't touched a scale in a week and I'm down a whole 3 pounds. I'm glad the scale is moving but I expected more. A friend suggested doing a once per month weigh in so that I don't get so discouraged but I don't think I can do that.

So how's everyone's weight loss and has anyone incorporated exercise that is more than walking? What food stage is everyone on?

I am back to jogging...i ran 3.72 miles today. It was hard but im glad to be back to my fitness routine. I am trying not to weigh myself til the day before my 6week follow up on the 23rd. My coworkwrs and friends say I've lost alot. I cleared my closet of my 1x-4x clothes. I am fitting in my l/xl....excited!!!

Iamsafe - I'm trying to get back to running also, congrats on 3.72 miles that's awesome. I think I would die if I waited 6 weeks to weigh in lol - you are doing amazing, you went from a 4x to a l/Xl in 4 weeks, wow. My clothes are fitting lose but nothing that major

Positive- an 8 is a good goal. I really don't have a clothing size, but 10 sounds good [emoji16] I'm shooting for 175 right now

I'd be happy in a size 10-12. I just want to be healthy not necessarily skinny so that's all I'm shooting for as of now :)

Thanks, guys! My goal weight is 140. I am triplet, and am currently the biggest of the three. My skinny clone is probably about 130, but I am a bit taller, so 140 seems doable.

2/9 Team, I can't drink the Protein Shakes anymore. I gag when I try and get really sick. Called my doctor and the nurse asked me to lay off and have the following daily:

2 teaspoons of Peanut Butter

Grilled Salmon

Quest Protein Bar AM and PM

All the Water I can get down with Miralax to keep everything flowing. I'll let you know how I feel after a few days on this.

Thinking of those drinks...

I'm getting all my Protein from regular food now for the most part but my plumbing hasn't been as traumatized as everyone else. I do treat myself to the protein ice cream at night if I haven't gotten 80g but I haven't "indulged" so to speak in two days.

Have you tried Isopure zero? It comes in a bunch of flavors and is clear so not as challenging yo choke down. A 20oz bottle has 40g protein.

I hope you feel better fast fast fast!!

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
