I done screwed up ya'll



Recommended Posts

I was at 44 BMI before surgery, and I lost 32 pounds two months before surgery doing what most people are telling you.

1) get a myfitnesspal.com account today. Log every single bite you take. Do not go over 800 calories in a day.

2) do not eat bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes, or sweets of any kind. Do not drink alcohol.

3) make sure you are getting 80+ grams of Protein every day. Have a Protein shake for Breakfast. Seafood is your friend. Shrimp, crab, scallops, fish, crawfish, etc. are all fantastic choices.

4) drink at least two liters of Water a day. Rinse out a Coke jug and fill it. Use that to measure your progress. Drink the entire thing every day. Drink more if you can. Add ice.

If you can't do this now, you might need to reevaluate whether now is the right time for you to be having surgery, or if you should have therapy first. Surgery isn't going to magically change you.

My diet 2 weeks before surgery..... 2 meals with 3oz chicken, fish,or any lean meat, 2 cups of leafy greens salad with lite or fat free dressing, 1/2 cup veggies ( no corn, potatoes, or peas ). On the salad try not to use iceberg lettuce of you can help it.....spinach is better. Then use 3 primer shakes....1 for Breakfast, and the other 2 for Snacks between meals....Drink plenty of Water....non caffeine and no sugar.....crystal light, is an awesome drink..I lost 15 lbs

Premier Protein shakes,

3 a day, or 2 a day with a healthy dinner. 2X 15 min walks a day. Drink lots of Water. Use real fruit, freezing the fruit in ice cube trays if you want some flavor to your Water.

Here's an example:

8am: shake

11am: snack (turkey sandwich meat slice with Tomato slices.

Unflavored Protein powder sprinkled on everything you eat. Mix it in your water too to help with the hunger. It helps so much!

2pm: shake

6pm: dinner

Example of dinner:

1/2 baked chicken breast, cup broccoli.

If you find yourself still hungry before bedtime, a peach or pear or 9 Almonds are are great.

Keep walking, walking. Good luck and best wishes. You got this :)

I lost 13 pounds during my 2 week pre op, 3 Protein shakes a day and lots if green leafy vegetables. If I am really hungry, I have a hard boiled egg. The hardest part was giving up bread, but it is worth it. My surgery is December 6th.

      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.
