New way of thinking, new me, BETTER ME.

I made a very big commitment today. I usually start my day with a glass of Pepsi and then consume at least a two liter of Mt Dew throughout the day, if not more. When it comes to food well, I never measured, portioned or counted calories. Today I woke up and new it was my day to make my first big change. I have had nothing except Water to drink today! It's 4:30 and I've not touched a drop of anything else. I think I might be getting a caffeine headache, but I'm not giving in. Not this time. I skipped Breakfast, I rarely eat it. For lunch I had two chicken slider sandwiches and some fruit. So, I've ingested 460 calories plus 40 more for the miracle whip. I am so proud of myself! I want to get myself in a healthy routine now so that it's habit after surgery.

What apps do you guys use to help with your daily routine? I saw a Drop It, but can't find it in my App Store. Do you use an exercise app? What are your favorites? What ones don't work?

My surgery is in December.

I don't know any app right now but what I did I cut out sweet ,use wheat Pasta and for bread also limit your intake on starchy vegetable and do Protein Drinks like Premier Protein drinks or do the powder kind and you can add like crush package to it bake your food more then frying food

I am currently using My Fitness Pal. It track calories, nutrients, and macros. Good luck on your journey, those caffeine headaches are gnarly.

That's great that you cut out soda altogether. That is so good for your health. Don't skip breakfast though, that throws your metabolism off and you just wind up super hungry and overeating at the end of the day. For an app I like Lose It, it's similar to My Fitness Pal but I just like it better for whatever reason.

      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.
