Thought I would check in here and see if you are still eating this way and how you are doing?

I'm a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE University of Kentucky fan! I live in Louisville, KY. My husband played football for UK. I'm a basketball fanatic.

We are very close- I live in between Lex and L-Ville.

Can you give an example of your daily diet? Are you getting bored with it? I’ve been thinking of trying something else as my weight loss is slowing. I’m averaging 1-2 pounds per week now. Was thinking about IF but I get pretty hangry if I go too long without eating.

I lost 6 pounds the first 7 days. Now starting Week 2. Hubby lost 11 pounds in 7 days.

Not bored at all. Not hungry. Not grumpy. No cravings. Hubby had a little bit of digestive distress on the first two days because he hadn't been dieting at all before that but I didn't have any trouble. I guess his system was in shock from sugar and carb withdrawal and heavy onslaught of Protein.

Here's a sample of what I ate/drank the last couple of days:

@GradyCat Congrats on your progress!!! So glad you figured out a great hack!!! That's awesome!

So I'm in awe and have a question?

Can you really and truly eat about 10.25oz of dense Protein by weight in one meal? How long did it take for you to eat it that meal? How did your tummy feel afterward?

I ask because I "feel" like I have a large pouch capacity. And I've never tested it fully with dense protein other than doing my cottage cheese volume test. So don't know if I can eat 10oz of dense protein in a meal. I always try to limit it as much as possible to my 3-4oz per meal. But I do have composite meals with low carb veg which differs...

TY for giving me perspective! Maybe my pouch is "normal" and it's just that I don't understand the definition of a fully healed pouch capacity.

@fluffychix sometimes I "fudge" things on MyFitnessPal and when I've already entered something for one meal that I have again later as another meal or snack, instead of entering it twice, I just double the first entry, so it looks like I'm eating more in that one meal than I really am but it's correct for the daily total

Oh! OK, I do that too!

So just for reference, about how many ounces would you say you can comfortably eat of the dense Protein by weight per meal? (Some things like fish I can eat 6oz of...) Do you have the same situation?

@fluffychix I accidentally got about 7 ounces the other day and realized I'd made a mistake, gotten overzealous. I try to limit it to 4 but I could probably "comfortably" handle 6 oz

There is comfort in having others who can also eat these quantities!! ((hugs)) Know exactly what you mean about paying the price of one bite too much on dense Protein. Holy hell! LOL. Yeah, I think 7oz is a stretch for me that I might be able to do on fish/shrimp and maybe ultra rare steak (a slider for me if it's rare).

        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
