Love covers all. She did her best. I applaud your mom for that. 😊

Day is good. It's been a long day actually. My knees are currently aching. Not sure why, but I'll be glad when most of this weight is off.

I posted somewhere on bp, my 7 year old exclaimed that she didn't want me to get smaller, she loves me just as I am. Lol. As much as I appreciate and love her, I cannot stay the same. Of course my 4 year just repeats it. 😂

What did ya do today?

You are so sweet. Your kids are so sweet. I basically stayed cause it was raining today but i had 99 grams of Protein today. And i feel more looser but winded

Lol! I'm in south texas, Corpus Christi. My mom is originally from Wichita Falls, Texas....so I learned it from her. 😊 She always made them growing up, especially when we lived in upper Michigan for part of my childhood. Super cold winters and super good hot homemade chicken and dumplings. Yum. It's one of my favorites.

My mom ohh so beautiful makes it with fowl chicken and homemade dumplings. Incredible dish i could never cook like that. She is from N.C.

I bet we can all talk about chicken and dumplings everyday y'all.

Say, anyone find their hormones a bit out of whack? I'm crying over commercials. Smh.

Me either. I thought I was doing good at 20g. I will probably try to drink at least a little more of a Protein Shake before bed so I might make it to 30g.

Yes and it doesn't help that I was thrown into menopause last year with my Hysterectomy. I have noticed my feeling are hurt way too easily the past couple of days. No tears yet, but Iwouldnt be surprised. My grandson always makes a point to ask me if I am crying yet whenever we are watching a sad movie.

Bodies are changing. I guess it's a part of the process. I'm thankful I'm more happy than grumpy though. 😂

Ok. So I got tired of just the tasting of things today. I didn't eat anything of substance at all. Mostly liquids. So, I heated up about 1/8 cup of refried black Beans with some low fat cheese. So delicious. But here's where I'm having to learn what my body is telling me. Feels stuck in my throat, no matter how well I chewed it down. I really want to drink some Water. I have this weird sensation in my belly. Kind of like when carbonated bubbles are bubbling up, I guess. I don't feel like I'm full or stuffed or anything. Content, which is what I am aiming for but I keep burping though, like I did when I was full of gas in the hospital.

I'm counting down to some liquid.

Anyone have muscle cramps or spasms? When I stretch out my left foot my muscle lock up and I am getting a charle horse in the side of my ankle lower leg. It is so painful!, this just started tonight and the only way to make it stop is to get up and walk.

        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
