I completely changed my relationship with food and I mean completely. I now eat a high Protein, low carb, low sugar diet. I rarely eat take away and never eat complex carbs, just real ones.

I'm not a huge fan of Protein shakes so the only supplement I use is Protein powder in Protein balls I make myself and eat for Breakfast. All my other protein comes from food. cheese, beef Jerky, salami, beef, chicken, yoghurt, milk (usually with coffee). And I usually eat 70-90 grams of protein a day.

I still track everything I eat, even if it's not such a good choice. Which I think keeps me accountable. I also joined a gym about 2 months ago and go 3 times a week and play sport 1-2 a week.

On the days I don't really feel like eating I make myself and on the days I feel like eating everything I try to exercise self control.

I remember thinking on the day of my surgery, this is going to take forever, but I'm really blown away by how quickly the time had gone by. It's hard at first, but hang in there. It's worth every hard moment and struggle [emoji4]

      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.
