Holy hell, how sick were you? Lay on the floor sweating and wanting to die sick?

I didn't get very sick (just mild to moderate ickiness) , AND a very through bathroom elimination around 11pm, LOL.

I think it is because I was grazing with the sugar stuffs all night over several hours vs. eating it all at once. If I had eaten all that junk in a smaller time window, for sure I would've been on the floor.

Oh wow! So who doesn't like a VERY thorough poop! ;) So I'd vote it a win-win all around. :) You got to eat 16 baby Cookies, poop like a champ, and were only mildly disturbed by it. :) Unlike writhing and sweating. And the other news is we know you will take the Fluid right back off and be back to having to work hard to keep from losing!! Go girl!!

Love Shirataki in Soups like this!!! So so so good! I was gonna have a salad for lunch, now I want Faux Pho with noodles!!! :D Maybe tomorrow. For some odd reason, when I eat shirataki noodles I am up a couple pounds the next day. I wonder if they glom onto a ton or Water in your bowels? I know glucomannan is super hydroscopic.

I actually find the opposite...they are soooooo filling that I end up eating less for that day overall, leading to losses if I eat them over extended period of time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Super hungry hippo day yesterday. Again with the craving protein. So I listened to my body and ate. Now this morning I am not even ready to think about food. I'm expecting today to be a low food day. I still lost 0.2lbs (insignificant could just be water).

Mushrooms. :) Yesterday I ate 3 of them, but they were really just too much food. So today I had 2 and my tum feels much better for it. :)

I have been busy with family and have not been on much and this will continue for the next couple of months with all the holidays. I just wanted to check in and say my weight this morning was 171.6 and it seems to hold steady here. Don't like its a few pounds out of the range I like but I tell myself its okay as long as I don't go up anymore through the Holidays 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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
