I had my sleeve on July 10th. I’ve lost about 15 lbs. slow and steady.

I’m bored. I’m having moments of extreme hunger. Have three kids at home I cook for. I wanted chicken nuggets so badly yesterday but I’m having talks with myself and keeping full withh Protein Shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, and Soups. Boring but looking at the big picture. Tried eggs a couple days ago and they came back up. Hoping to try again this week. I am waiting to see a big change in my shape and notice weight loss-as are the people around me I’m sure. I just have to remember it’s a process. Some people loose really quickly others more slowly. I have to up my exercise game as soon as my soreness eases up a little bit.

Hey Tyson has some, chicken nugget sized but no evil breading just tastes like grilled chicken breast. Runs about $7 a bag but it's a pretty good size.

feeling super exhausted although today i don't feel as tired as last two days....but boy could I stay in bed late, lol. I think i feel a little better each day. I stopped taking the tylenol w/ codeine my surgeon prescribed for pain, it was so nasty going down and I only used it to sleep, so I'm 2 days off that. I drove yesterday for the first time, felt good to get out. Tomorrow is my day 7 post diet, and i'm thinking of bumping up next diet phase by one day....what the heck right? IDK yet. sleeping and rolling over on occasion i feel a tightness, but nothing more.

I know exactly how u feel. I stopped my pain meds on Wednesday night they just made me feel tired. What foods are you thinking for this week?

My 17 yr old daughter is your surgery day buddy! She has recovered quickly but I'm concerned that shes not getting enough nutrition. She takes her medicine with a sip or two of Water in the morning and is full for hours. I try to sneak unflavored Protein into her Soup and she instantly knows lol. I hoping we can find something nutritious that she will actually eat. So far Syntrax Nectar is saving the day!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
