I feel like I'm messing up my diet. I eat small amounts, except several times a day.. I'm only going on week 6 and eating things idk if I should be. I'm sick of just drinking Water. I drink other stuff once in awhile.. still not carbonated tho.. idk I feel like I'm failing myself. Also I'm stuck at 210 and can't get past it

Im worried about getting rid of any of my clothes that no longer fit because what if I fully fail and gain back the weight

I cant seem to get past the brain hunger

Can you find your instructions from surgery and locate what level or stage of eating you are on? Stick as close to that as possible and the weight will fall off... Promise

But you have to do the work...

Drinking what other stuff? Anything with sugar in it, or juice is going to cause cravings for carbs, and then more cravings or more bad choices.

You are not very far out from surgery and still healing, have inflammation, and in the learning phase of eating. Follow your surgeon's food plan.

As far as head hunger - you might want therapy or at least to do some reading on emotional eating - you have to find other ways to cope with things without resorting to food. It sucks, but that is what we have to do.

Get rid of the clothes, you are NOT going back, don't look back! Celebrate and embrace the new you all along the way, take care of you, pamper yourself - you just had major surgery, and did a brave, hard thing - enjoy it! Go to resale shops and get some 'new' clothes that fit, get a pedicure, etc... The best is right in front of you....

Well I just had a busy filled weekend with my family.. lots of moving.. and now everyone has left and it's time to settle.. weighed myself and I lost 7 lbs over the weekend. So that helps.. just was stuck at 210 for Abt 2 weeks and was losing faith... I do need to get rid of the clothes but still feeling I need them, I did get rid of some pants that were too big even before surgery. But scared now lol.. I need to wake up and get on track.

And head hunger is just me getting bored and thinking I need to eat. When I know I'm don't need too.. it used to be my go to

Now i drink sugar free teas and stuff like that. If I'm up and doing a bunch of stuff, like the other day I helped my sister in her barn I drank Powerade. I do drink propel but there's only so much of that u can drink

As long as it’s SF and calorie free, there’s nothing wrong with other things to drink besides Water. I actually can’t drink straight water, makes me nauseous since surgery. I drink a variety of teas, crystal light, water additives, ect.

        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
