Just curious - I had my sleeve December -down 50 pounds.. I feel like I am eating too much. What does your daily diet look like 7 months out? How many calories are you taking in. My weight loss has slowed down and I am worried old habits are coming back. Starting to feel out of control.

@@muggzz I pulled my food diary from 7 months. I was just cleared to eat steak, and well I was really enjoying it. I think I had filet mignon 3x a day for a week. This isn't the best day, but it is a real example.

It was a low Protein day but I had a really hard time forcing myself to eat enough in the winter when it was so cold.

I think shortly after this I went to 1000 calories a day. Are you tracking your foods? What are your calories and Protein per day? How many carbs?

I stopped tracking cause I thought I had this under control but I guess it's time to start tracking again ! When were you sleeved and how much are you down? I was always told eat as tolerated no restrictions- their theory was if your stomach wasn't ready for it then I would know. That was very true! Also they NUT and Doctor always said don't worry about fats just get your Protein in and stay away from carbs for as long as you can. Not the greatest of guidelines but they are trying to teach us to LISTEN to our stomachs ..when you feel full - stop . I do t know the numbers to shoot for..any suggestions?

What protein target were you given initially? Mine is 100 grams.

        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
