I'm eating 1000-1200 calories a day. Getting 60-80g of Protein. I try to get at least half from plant based sources. I do eat whole grains, legums and low glycemic carbs. Desperately tired of cooked veggies and want my fresh crunchy veggies back!

I walk about 7 miles a day. Walked 9 yesterday:) I walk while I watch TV, I walk while I'm on the phone, I park farther away from stores, I walk while I play app games on my phone, etc. Walk, walk, walk. My fitbit is part of my body. LOL

Am going to add Water aerobics in the heated therapy pool twice a week when I get cleared for it at my 5 week Dr. appointment.

Am enjoying life, loving how much better I feel, loving being off BP meds.

Here's a cool recipe:

Protein pancakes

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/4 cup cottage cheese

1 egg, plus 2 egg whites

Dash of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Dash of salt

Dash of fake no-cal popcorn butter flavoring granuals

Blend well....I use my smoothie maker

You can use the batter to make about 6 little silver dollar pancakes, or use it to make a giant waffle.

150 calories for oats 5g Protein

35 calories for egg whites 8g Protein.

75 calories for whole egg 6g Protein

40 calores cottage cheese 6g protein

Total....300 calories 25g Protein

This is likely to be two to three servings.

You can use low calorie Syrup, or I like strawberries mashed with splenda

You can make these up ahead and put them in the freezer...zap them as needed.

Explain the nature of an ABS challenge to the uninitiated.

I have no idea what the challenge involves.

Thanks, in anticipation of your illuminating answer.

        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
