Recommended Posts

Hope everyone is doing well!! I'm down 22 pounds from May 16th. Feeling good for the most part. Sticking to low carb high Protein meals. Easy on sugary stuff as I already experienced the dreaded "dumping syndrome" getting in Protein is Struggle but I'm getting better day by day

Cool you and I have lost the same thing since surgery...I'm at 22.2...........and 48 over all!! I'm doing great!

I'm down 31 so far since May 19th!

I had my sleeve surgery in WA. state the morning of May 16, 2016 and so far I've had a very smooth experience. I'm down 31 lbs. since surgery and 60 lbs. from my highest weight. I do exercise daily with an hour of Water aerobics and 20 minutes of walking. I am able to meet an average of 70-80 grams of protein/day and very restricted carbs. My NUT wants me to eliminate the fruit smoothies I have for Breakfast, which she calls slider foods, and to use more food items that are not processed through a Ninja which breaks down the Fiber.

I do have a few cups of caffeinated coffee every morning and she would like me to just have one cup. Overall, this has been a very positive experience and now to continue to lose another 85 lbs. or so.

I'm doing great! Never felt better. I haven't had any issues and feel like I'm doing well with my weight loss. I'm a little more than half way to my goal at almost 57 pounds lost.....(that includes what I lost during the two weeks pre-op).

@@evette305 I don't use any Protein shakes, and haven't since I was about 4 weeks post-op. I hate all of them. I get all my Protein from the food I eat,.

I'm doing great, down almost 81 pounds and only 26 pounds from my "pie in the sky" goal...haha Actually I do think I may have set my goal a little too low....I'm thinking I'll be happy with about 15 more instead of the 26.

How about you @@bellawlsjourney ?

        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
