Does anyone ever find themselves not breathing when watching Pinterest tastyful (or something like it) videos? I realize that I hold my breath during the videos. Once over, I start breathing. Lol. It must be a head thing! Lol

Good for you. Glad it didn't do anything after that. I think it's neat that we are all having to really listen to our bodies. This is a great tool!

Thank you so much that is the way. I forgot to mention I did wait 30 minutes before drinking the Water. I wish you guys continued success.

I liked these drinks before surgery but couldn't stand them afterwards. What sucked is I had bought a case of them which I'm trying to give away. I hope you fare better.

Hello! where did you buy those?

I just drank another Protein drink and had some chicken bouillon. I picked up my daughter from school and went straight home to get a cheese stick to nibble on to go pick up my youngest from her school. I was fine after that. I didn't get hungry again until maybe 6:30ish. So it was approximately 3 hours in between. Had thinned out black Beans AGAIN! Lol. I love that stuff. My husband made eggs and bacon, he was so grateful to be able to cook again. So I had him throw a tablespoon worth of scrambled eggs in other my Beans. Listened to my body, wrapped the rest (breakfast tomorrow), and went for a walk with my two youngest girls. I feel great. 😊

So glad to hear you had a good day!

I tried some cottage cheese for lunch and it went well. I was able to eat 4 oz with no problem. I am looking forward to scrambled eggs with cheese. I think I am going to try that next week.

are you keeping track of how many calories you are consuming in a day? I made it to 500 today!

I got mine at GNC, but I couldn't drink them. They tasted horrible to me. I was excited to try them because of the 40g of Protein. I hope you like them.

Yes I did burp and I stopped. At that point I had eaten maybe 1 bite of the mashed potatoes I just couldn't take another bite. I went back to my Protein Shakes and Water for the rest of the night but I have been in the bathroom with the runs for the past 2 hours...on the bright side I'm not constipated :)

When I burp that is my signal to stop also. I almost wish I had the runs because I am so bloated here. I took some Miralax tonight and I am hoping I get lucky tomorrow.

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.
[mention=318894]mishyk[/mention] I love your profile pic. You are beautiful

Aww thank you honey! And I do the same thing as you!! I google puree foods and healthy foods i can use to replace old foods. For example I'm no longer going to use sugar (using honey instead) and i'm not going to use bread at home instead I'm going to make fake bread from cauliflower. Also i no longer use regular milk I use almond milk, but I changed milk even before the surgery. I had lost 3 pounds in 4 days just changing the milk! .

[mention=318894]mishyk[/mention] hey lady. That cocotein is expensive! Wow. I guess it'll be a once in a while drink for me. Lol. I'm trying to locate it here locally. What store did you buy it from?

It is.. i buy it for $4.95 in the Vitamin shopp or GNC but... it's good for 2 days since we can only drink a little but at a time. It's a great investment.. at times i felt weak on liquids alone but when I re-up on cocotein and drink it within minutes I feel soo much better. We need the protein.. how ever you can get Protein is the goal.. this happens to work great with me, and it's isolate whey .. you cant get better than that for clear liquids protein. Xoxo

Have you started with puréed foods yet? I have so many phases on my doc/nuts plan it is crazy. I have 9 phases!🙄 So technically I suppose I shouldn't eat the ricotta bake until Monday, but my stomach has been good so i am gonna try it and see how it goes.

I quit eating bread about 6 months ago because even one slice would spike my blood sugar. I buy the low carb wraps if I want a sandwich and they are pretty good.

I have been drinking unsweetened almond milk also. The chocolate is really good. There are many things we can do to eat healthier that is for sure.

Lets all share any good recipes we find.

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        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
