What Was on Your Friday Menu?



Recommended Posts

Happy Friday! I hope it was a good one for you!

Breakfast: oatmeal with frozen blueberries, and walnuts. Again. Am I stuck in a rut? At least it’s healthy.

Lunch: Knowing dinner may not be the best…A Greek salad with chicken breast. I added some raspberries.

Dinner: Sometimes you have to have fun and go out with friends, but I still made an effort. Italian. Minestrone Soup and 2 slices of thin crust pizza with chicken, artichokes, and parmesan. A freshly baked breadstick. How can you resist? At least I didn’t have a bowl of pasta! A small piece of chocolate cake – we split it three ways.

This day wasn’t the best, but I think I did well under the circumstances. The chocolate cake probably wasn’t necessary. It was good, but not that good. Probably not worth it.

      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.
