As folks are heading back to work, how are you doing on energy and focus? I am working from home for today, and then heading to the office tomorrow, and I'm struggling with having enough energy and focus to get through work. Taking more time off isn't really an option, and I have a job the requires a lot of focus. How are the rest of you getting through the day?

I'm working from home as well, which is a good thing, b/c I'm still fatigued and it's nice to be able to lie down every now and then. I don't head back to the office until Tuesday, so good luck to you tomorrow! Maybe a tumbler of iced Water infused with some flavoring to sip on throughout the day? Thinking lots of ice, to keep you a little cold and keep you awake?

Friday at work was rough! I made the mistake of wearing boots with a slight heel, not being strict with myself on drinking, and forgetting how large the campus is. Today I’m on the couch and resting. I am going to need to plan better and be more disciplined heading forward.

A few times today actually. Only happened a couple times since surgery like the first week or 2 but happened multiple times today while out and about with the family.

I’m doing well. Started a general diet on Sunday, January 26 (my birthday). I went out for my birthday with my husband for lunch and ordered a grilled chicken avocado . Ate half of the grilled chicken (about 1 1/2 oz) and avocado without bread and 3 small chunks of fresh fruit. It seemed to sit heavy with me the rest of the day and I did not eat again, but did a Protein Shake for my birthday dinner. I had made a slow cooker pork roast for dinner, but couldn’t eat it.

I tried to eat a bit of reheated pork roast for dinner tonight but after about 4 tiny bites and 2 bites of roasted carrots, up it came. It’s probably too soon. I’ve done chicken, fish and eggs without a problem.

I had my sleeve on Dec 18th,2019. I have lost 27 pounds and over a month out. I’m still adjusting to the whole new mindset and eating ways. I’m excited about this journey. I still have two shakes a day and now that I’m to soft foods I’ve been sticking primarily to Protein. I have even got meat sticks and cheese I eat on. That’s pretty much all I do for now and try to get my Water in as much as possible.

      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.
