what are the drinks please ? great visual- edit i saw your answer is the first 2 Water? is this all you drink per day?

The first two are Water, then coconut water, milk, and coffee. Each of the jars holds 2 cups, so 4 of them is 64oz. I'm very particular with the food, but the drinks are more flexible. I get at least that much, if I'm thirsty I drink more. Sometimes tea or extra Decaf coffee.

That's why it took 6 hours. Eat, wait 2 hours, eat... I'm almost never hungry... I eat because my body needs the fuel.

My favourite meal is: 1 piece of whole grain whole meal bread, fat free eye bacon avocado, egg and spinich. And a can of tuna and vita wheats have lots of Protein

@Meryline I'm so sorry you're hungry all the time! ((hugs)) That's a b***h and also exactly why I'm having the RNY. I gambling that it will reduce my hunger.

So will you post your most recent menu and daily calorie load/average daily macros? Also, if you input that into MFP and track sugar as one of your 5 tracked macros, what is the average daily sugar content (of course that's naturally occurring). I have some ideas about your hunger.

I think we figured out what is causing Meryline's hunger. She is a hair's breath from goal, and needed to increase her calories/protein/nutrition. Sometimes hunger isn't a bad thing! ;)

People may be getting bored of the Protein one.. how about asking how many carbs (and from whence they come)?

@Berry78 and @FluffyChix I had a 4 day weekend and stayed offline for the most part.

Yes, I'm hungry because I'm not eating enough. Still not eating enough, trying to figure out how I'm going to get more food in me, and still stay with in my guidelines of 50% Protein.

      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
