Lacking the motivation to even walk...



Recommended Posts

So my day:

Breakfast: 4oz cottage cheese and 4oz fruit

Lunch: 1 egg and 4oz pinto Beans

Snack: 1oz nuts or seeds

Dinner: 4oz meat or fish and 4oz spinach

1 cup milk and 2 cups coconut Water

I spread things out since I can't eat more than 4oz at a time.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I think what's really going to help me is weighing my food and meal prepping.

I need to stop being lazy and plan my stuff better!

Thanks for the helpful tips! I'm going to really work on it.

The sooner you get away from Protein Shakes and bars and on to real foods the better.

<snip>

The trouble with powders and bars is they limit your intake of nutrients and they are sweet and encourage thinking about other sweets.

I disagree. I am 2.5 years out and I still use powder and Protein Bars to supplement my diet. Of course I am using it to help with my weight lifting so my Protein goals are much higher. They do not limit your intake of nutrients unless you are using them for your sole source of food.

As for encouraging thoughts about other sweets, I find the opposite to be true. Why bother with a chocolate chip cookie when I can have a Protein Bar? Why have a milkshake if I can have a Protein Shake? Cakes don't interest me when I can make a coffee cup protein cake.

Making the preparation of a meal can become the substitute ritual that becomes a habit. Instead of eating being the focus, the preparation becomes the ritual then the habit.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
