Happy Saturday, Y'all!



Recommended Posts

Woke up early today and trying to enjoy some peace and quiet with my coffee before we have to go out and buy a new mower, school supplies for the kids, and pick up for company coming tonight. Busy days like this are ones I don't always find time to sit down and eat slowly and get all my Water in. Anyone else struggle with diet compliance on busier days??

I'm more compliant on busy days because I don't get boredom hunger or have time to have head hunger. I still get the Water and Protein in.

Happy Saturday! Yes, I find that if my day is moderately busy, I am more apt to “stick to the plan” and just get what my body needs..without wanting, or thinking about the extras. It definitely helps me to plan ahead lol

I'm more compliant when busy. But I have to pre-plan and pack meals if I want them. Otherwise it's easy available stuff for b/l and super KISS leftovers for din with only a nuked veg. So it's bare bones eating.

I have this little “baby yeti bag” (it’s actually a Magellan from Academy) as I like to call it that comes with me every time I am going to be gone more than an hour or so along with a full yeti cup of liquids. I put an ice block in it and I’ll bring a ready made Protein, Water to refill my cup, and a couple grab and go protein options like baby bel, Turkey, turkey pepperoni, boiled egg, boiled shrimp and I keep some crystal light packs and clear protein packs in the front pouch . It stays really cold and it’s a lot easier to avoid temptation if I already have what I need right there.

For someone with "chaos" in her username, you are VERY organized! Lol.

Thank you! I am organized to a fault. But the chaos refers to my children, 2,7 ....... & 34 😂 and our double rotating shift work, multiple extra curricular crazy schedule lol It’s constant chaos.

        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
