I would die. LOL. I am literally the crabbiest person ever if I am awake at 11. I'm kind of like a lay down at 8:30 and read, passed out by 9:30 kind of gal. In fairness, my alarm goes off at 5am. But still. Love me some sleep.

Although on the weekends when I'm feeling rebellious, I'll stay awake until 11 or maybe 12. #LivinOnTheEdge

Lol just like my husband drives me nuts hes out by 8 and weekends 10-11 and hes like struggling to stay up so funny

Haha! I'm the same way! I'm in bed by 8:30 pm, the latest. On the weekends I try to stay up... but typically I'm in bed by 9-9:30. I'm just an early bird. I'm up by 5:30-6am every day. I once slept in until 8am and felt like I slept my whole day away.

Ditto! I love getting up super early! I can relax and have my coffee without my dog and kids fighting for my attention :)

Has anyone had a bad reaction to Protein supplements? Whether it is shakes, clear Protein Drink or broth I double over in pain and have to run to bathroom. Was fine before surgery. One wk postop. Wondering if whey allergy.

Wow that’s not good! Iv heard of a few people that have had whey allergies. They would throw up or run straight to the bathroom after drinking it. Have you said anything to your doctor about it? You can get other Protein that isn’t whey protein.

Yeah that’s odd. Definitely call back and see what’s going on. Are you mixing the Protein with Water?

So after the surgery when we can finally eat solids, when we start eating normal I'm going on the Keto diet sticking to that no carbs (or should I say little to no carbs) I'm on pinterest looking up receipes like a woman planning her wedding I feel somewhat insane but I'm looking forward to it lol (Am I the only one?) Just wondering...

No just the pre-made excerpt the broth obviously mixing with Water.

Maybe it’s the Premade stuff that’s bothering your stomach? Iv always found the RTD Protein to be different than the powder you mix yourself.

I have ISO-Pure Unflavored Protein and I put it in everything. You just have to get past the chalky protein taste and it’s.....Ahhhh...not bad! Lol

I even did it before my pre-op diet! When we had chili for dinner, my kids out a scoop of cheese in their chili...I’d put a scoop of protein! [emoji1320]

      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
