Hi All! It's been a busy couple of days. Yesterday was my first day back to work, and it went great. I got all my walking in at work and started to get back into my normal. I'm feeling great right now. I'm noticing that I'm slimming down already, and the food is getting a lot easier for me to accept. All of my incisions are itching, so I'm taking that as a good thing! I'm behind on all of my school work, so that is a little stressful, but I know I will catch up, especially if I still want to graduate in November. Have a great day!

Oh hon, take it easy. :) I'm sure your stomach is healing nicely now too to be able to add those foods in the future.

Besides the school work part, you described me. Ha! I'm glad you had a good day at work too. Feels nice to have a routine again, eh? Or is that just me? maybe cause I've got three kids too. lol

Um...not sure and I don't think it is...but I'm having terrible gas these past two days. It was happening before I ate my Beans last night, so I don't believe that is the culprit. I haven't had a BM since Mon or Tues, so I'm wondering if maybe its the start of Constipation. If I don't have one today, I'll start some benefiber or Miralax. Ugh....don't want to take anything else, but will if I have too.

I am also not regular yet. I had one BM the day before I got home and nothing since. I started taking 2 dulcolax per day on Tuesday, but still nothing. I tried to take MOM, but it made me nauseous. I think I am going to buy some miralax today. I hope things start moving for you.

Yeah, MOM makes me gag, it's so gross. After I had posted, it moved a little. I went a little. Still feel like there is more to do, but nothing.

So glad work went well for you. Believe it or not I am looking forward to going back to work on Tuesday. I am feeling mostly great too.

My daughter is working and going to school also so I know how hard that can be. Good for you for managing it all!

I keep googling recipes for puréed foods..lol.. and also for ideas on healthy foods to replace my favorites that I really shouldn't eat anymore.

I love crackers and I found a recipe to make cheese crackers with just sliced cheese.

@mishyk I love your profile pic. You are beautiful ☺️

It is so amazing how we seem to love the same things. I am so in awe.

Mistake: I'm hungry. I came to work with no food, just Protein Drinks. They're not satisfying me at all. I really think my metabolism has reset!!! YAY! Now, I've learned my lesson....bring a cheese stick. LOL

This a good warning for me to be prepared when I go back to work. food prep is going to be essential to staying mostly on plan.

what did you do? I think I would have made a wawa run and got some Soup or yogurt.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
