Nothing today, I am not hungry and I feel if I eat, I will PB. I'm going to the kitchen right now to try and get down a shake. :speechles

I think I'm not hungry b/c I have drank over a half a gallon of Water today for the first time in a long time and it's only 5:06PM EST. :rolleyes

TMI: The water is passing right through me. I'm in the bathroom, literally every 5 - 10 minutes.

Not good right...that I can't make myself drink shakes today? (Still Post op 2 weeks). Am I doing more harm than good?

I'll just pretend that today was purification and detox day if the shake starts to taste gross and I can't finish.

If you're not hungry, you're not hungry. I had days like that 2-3 weeks post op. If you can though, try to get a shake down so that you have some Protein today.

Does anyone else count fiber? I am having trouble getting in 25 grams of fiber per day. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Fiber Choice Orange Fiber Drops? Two drops contain 8 grams of fiber. They taste like orange hard candy.< /p>

I'm usually fine with these foods. I think I was just a bit over-zealous after my fill on Tuesday.

Today wasn't a good day. I'm extremely restricted and felt the golfball feeling even after a few drinks of protein shake or Water. I'm hoping that it's due to the PB yesterday and that tomorrow will be another day. If not, it's back to the doctor for a slight unfill.

      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.
