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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
