I’m April 1st doing great my only concern is I can basically eat anything I try and I’m super hungry like I always was so I need to work on head hunger constantly and get to the gym. Tired of the constant battle.

How many ounces can you eat per meal? I'm at around 2.5 - 3 maybe.

Has your program cleared you for gym exercise? I'm walking around 30 mins a day. Thinking about adding a little more variety at my 6 weeks mark, but low impact. Had a tired day yesterday when I had planned to go on an one hour walk at a nice park. Ended up just doing a 20 minute walk yesterday evening in my community. Sometimes those tired moments come out the blue.

Today I'm working a full day of work - first day doing it. Complete with clients and meetings. It will be a test to see how I balance taking care of me (getting in everything on schedule) and working a full day.

I never had the fatigue. I’ve been working for two weeks. I have issues with walking a super bad back. I do a sit down stepper at the gym but not being consistent hate exercising but I need to push myself.

Ok. Great. My fatigue now just comes in spells. Usually out of nowhere. I think it is sometimes linked to me needing more Water.

Good luck with increasing frequency of exercising.

Is Water exercising an option for you?

Yes actually I was doing that before surgery but gyms with pools are expensive pretty soon I’ll be in my pool every morning I can’t wait

Surgery 4/23. I see my doc tomorrow....I’d love to get cleared to move to puréed foods. I go back to work next Monday, so I’d like to get some food in me...I’m so over liquids.
I’ve been trying to do more. I still have some pain, especially when I go to get up. I think it’s the deep sutures. I can’t bend over and do anything, it kills me.

I saw my doc last week and she took me off my BP meds, my BP was 88/56 in the office. So I’m not on any bp meds now! Now to get off the rest of the meds!

Me too! 3 weeks today. I'm down 26.4 pounds(can't believe it) after going one whole week where I didn't lose an ounce! LOL . How are you feeling? I must say, I don't mind being on this liquid/puree stage.

Same here. Mine was the 15th. I lost 31 and now haven’t lost a pound in the last 6 days. Since I started regular food. I’ve been living on eggs, tuna, cottage cheese and a little cheese. I started stool softeners due to the cheese and even took a laxative last night because it had been 10 days since I went. I may have lost one more lb since going but that’s not nearly enough. I could def use some pointers too!

Wow! Mine was 4/8 and as of Saturday all I've lost is 14 pounds. I see all these people losing an exorbitant amount of weight and I'm like how? I was on liquids first 2 weeks and have been on soft foods for 1 week. If I'm able to finish 2oz of food that's a good meal. So far I've been able to handle everything, I've had eggs, tuna, Beans, cottage cheese. I know everyone's different and will lose it different but I feel like I'm losing it at an extremely slow pace. I have lost 50 pounds total since I started the program in January so that's something.

      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.
