Hello!

When I started this journey I was 260 pounds (Sept 2014) and today I'm at 125. Pant size 24 to 6.

My goal was 130 but for the life of me, I can't stop loosing. I meet with my NUT soon so hopefully she can give me food ideas to maintain. Fortunately, it has been a smooth ride and I'm glad I got on board!

The only issue I'm dealing with is restless leg which I didn't have before. I'm hoping that it will subside soon.

I want to thank everyone for your support and advice. I wish everyone much success!

-Kim

A magnesium supplement may help with the leg issue. Great job on your loss!

Congrats!! When my restless leg fires up it is always because my thyroid med is off. If you are on thyroid med, might be worth getting it checked.

Hello!

Thank you all for the words of encouragement and the the leg advise. I am taking Magnesium now. I see my bariatric doctor in 2 days for my one year check up and labs. I will talk with her about it.

My daily intake:

I have a premier Protein shake on the way to work.

Morning snack is a fruit or nuts

lunch is Chili or salad or tuna

dinner is whatever we can find at home or when we go out (we carpool and my husband is not on any particular diet)

So if we go to Taco Bell, I get a taco, toss the shell and eat the rest like a salad

Otherwise - we grill steaks 2-3 nights a weak (emptynesters - we can have steak every night) :P

Rib eye steaks make me dump so I have to get either a Filet Mignon or sirloin.

End the day with a Protein Shake or sugar free pudding.

That is a typical day - I don't have much of an appetite BUT some days - I can't get enough to eat and usually end up with a tummy ache by the time I go to bed. When will I learn not to eat so late? UGH!

Today I'm sick with a cold/flu for the first time with my new tummy and I'm researching what I can take, cold medicine wise. I haven't been sick in 2 years. So I will be searching this lovely side for any advise.

You have have a GREAT day!

-Kim

      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.
