@readytobethin---u look amazing! how did u do it? i am 1 month post op rt now. what are ur secrets????

Sent from my iPhone

Well thank you so much!!! Well I am about 4 1/2 months out now. I am still only able to eat 2 ounces at a time, so I am so grateful for that. I have read where so many people can eat more than that at this point, so I am really praying that it will continue on this way for a lot longer...although I am expecting it to change any day now. Basically I am following a low carb diet. I focus on getting 80 grams of Protein a day. Because I can still only eat 2 ounces at a time, its impossible for me to get my Protein in from food alone. I add Isopure unflavored protein mix to my drinks. I do 1/2 of a scoop two times a day, because adding a full scoop is just to much for me (its not truly completely unflavored, so doing it this way allows it to be drinkable.) And sometimes I drink a Premier Protein either instead of, or in addition to the Isopure, for a change of scenery, and I will usually eat an Oh Yeah Protein Bar also (the cinnamon roll flavor is so good). Doing these things every day puts me close to my protein goal, even without food. I also walk 2 times a day, for about 20-25 minutes each. As far as my diet, I try not to go over more than 20 carbs a day. I hope that helps, but please let me know if I can help any further. Best of luck in everything you do, and thanks again for the compliment!

        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
