Can newbie post op participate? Today would be my first and will give me 2 more weigh ins. This is awesome during not just Halloween but through the end of the year with all the holidays.. just my opinion... so not looking to thanksgiving. I do ALL the cooking and then will not be able to enjoy like the past. We have to sacrifice at some points, right??

Wow!! I would love to have that kind of loss 5 months later -- can you give me an idea what you're doing? (cals, carbs, Protein, typical foods, etc.)

Well I've actually been having a lot of complications unfortunately. I had a picc line in to infuse TPN every night to give me enough fluids and nutrients. Last Monday I was admitted to the hospital with a 103.9 fever amd my second blood infection. They removed the picc line and said we will stop the TPN now. I'm getting my gallbladder removed tomorrow (I have stones).

I have been eating around 600-750 calories a day. I drink 2-3 premier Protein shakes a day to get my Protein in. I try to eat 4-6 small meals a day. Some examples of those meals I eat are a yogurt, or 1/2-1 egg and 1-1 1/2 piece of bacon, 2 oz meat (like half a burger, some chicken breast, pork tenderloin, steak) and 1-2 oz veggie or side (spaghetti squash, green Beans, Brussel sprouts, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, potato, or salad).

I cook the meat in different flavors like Mexican, Asian, Italian, anything I'm interested in that night!

I get a lot of recipes from the skinny taste or Emily bites website. I also use weight watcher cookbooks. A lot of them have pretty low calorie recipes that are actually really delicious!

I don't really count my carbs but I do have some throughly the day. I also snack on some popcorn from Trader Joe's (white cheddar baconesque, white cheddar, sour cream and onion) I can only eat half a cup and that's only between 35-40 calories!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
