I ate thin crust pizza slice I was fine. I ate a fiery taco from Taco Bell I was fine. However, those are not good choices!

I want to make my own lunches for work but I don't need a lot.

I wondering what type of wrap y'all have tried or pita bread and how did it do?

I'm 4 months out and down 78 lbs that's with a 2 week stall which I broke a couple days ago.

Am I losing too fast? Was a 54 in my waist and now I'm a 40 and dropping. I think it's working to good!

78 pounds in 4 months is fine. Don't worry about losing weight too fast, your body will determine your rate of loss. You should probably lay off the bread. You will be in the "Weight Loss" phase for only a short time and then you will transition into the "Maintenance" phase. So you want to maximize your weight loss in the "Weight Loss" phase as much as you can and that means minimal bread consumption.

After RNY surgery, I went from a size 46 down to a size 32 in short order and from a size 3X in shirts down to a size Small. That was simple amazing. Again not a bad thing. I am 35 months post-op now and maintaining the weight loss. It means that I can buy clothes from department stores again.

Chili at Wendy's and a taco at Taco Bell is not nutritiously bad food. And when I am out and about that's what I go for. But wait until you have transitioned past the "Weight Loss" phase. The time you are in is very precious, don't waste it.

What I use and have been using for awhile is lettuce. I wrap whatever I'm having is some type of lettuce that I like. Romaine works great to wrap food in.

Rice blocks ur entire digestion so when ur in maintenance any more than a bite and ur in trouble thick bread is the same Small versions of things work for me pita minis rice cakes 1-2,fajita small circle etc but wait as long as you can u will figure out what makes u sick and what doesn't and then one day it won't work for u it's what ur body tells u so listen to it

What about using lettuce as your "tortilla" for wraps? Kind of like a Jimmy John's "Unwhich"

        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
