I need some tough love. I'm 11 months post op and I haven't lost any weight in nearly a month. I know exactly why - it's because I'm overeating. I'm not gaining weight, just maintaining. I'm probably overeating because I'm not consuming enough Protein. I have tons of Protein Shakes but I'm never in the mood to drink them. I could use a pep talk - I just want to buckle down and eat what I'm supposed to eat!

I have no tough love for you because I was in the same spot the last 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago I was 128 and gained back two pounds from eating like poo. I do agree though, if you focus on the Protein first and re-drill that into your head, I think it'll help. That's what I've been doing and since Sunday I've lost weight already. I also had to refocus on liquids--I was NOT getting anywhere near the 64 oz a day I'm supposed to. My goal is to be AT goal by my 1 year appointment next month. Buckling down starts....well Sunday xD

I'm guessing we've all found a new appreciation for life after surgery and are just simply too busy to come back :P

I mean, I did, but I still come back and hound y'all. 2 pounds from a new goal. I realized 125 may be slightly unrealistic thinking of coming maintenance so 127 it is. My weekend weigh in said 129.5, but my nutrition wasn't great so I'm planning on checking that again next week. Otherwise, just living the Protein, fluids, and exercise life.

Life is busy! I’m definitely much more active than I used to be! I’m 1.2 lbs from my goal and it’s so surreal. I see pictures of what I once was and it’s so weird. It feels like a lifetime ago some days.

I had to banish myself (starting today) to just liquids because I had an out of control eating weekend. #restart #backtoverybasics. My 1 year post op visit is 11/28 and I damn well am going to be 127 by then!

Congrats! However we are the 2017 Nov sleevers. The thread is a little quiet these days... But there is a thread for 2018 Nov sleevers and it is very active!

So far I've worn three different costumes for Halloween this year: bat, skanky pirate and Robin Hood!

        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!

      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
