I had a plan and I stuck to it! Food does not control me



Recommended Posts

Today is the first day I actually know exactly what I took in. I set alarms to remind me when to eat and drink, I counted and recorded my calories and Protein. Ya'll just don't know how huge that is for me I made a plan and I stuck to it drank my Water, boiled some eggs, went to the gym, carried a lunch bag that contained my Protein shakes, Jerky, turkey sticks, string cheese, ect. Enjoyed a veggie burger with lettuce & Tomato for dinner. I did not get hungry between meals and I did not eat anything that I didn't plan to. This is my life I'm accountable and I'm finally taking control.

Glad to here that. I am all over the place. The full liquid is difficult. I am not sure what to eat. So I ache been eat cream of chicken and black bean Soup. I take my Vitamins three hours apart. I'm luck if I get 16 ounces of Water. I really don't know to do about the puréed week.

during my liquid phase I drank broth, cream of chicken soup, tea, flavored water Jello, as I could tolerate a little more I added cream of wheat. It know feels like a lot right but you have to get more liquid in so you don't get dehydrated and end back up in the hospital. I'm almost 12 weeks out and just getting it together again. Good luck with your continued progress.

It varies but for the most part every couple of hours alternating between food and fluids... for example i get up at 6am I have 8 oz of Water to re-hydrate from sleeping, 7am breakfast(usually 1 boiled egg or scrambled), 9am (water, tea, or shake), 11am , 1pm , 3p, 5p, 7p after 7 I don't have anymore food or Snacks just fluids

      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.
