Sarah and Chiqui:

I think I walked my ass off, literally. I started walking just a half hour each day. Now I'm up to 2 hours per day, 6 days per week. During the week I do it in four or five sessions. Three times a day I walk 15 to 20 minutes each, and during my lunch hour I walk for 50 minutes. Then, whatever's left I walk at night, or go on the dreaded eliptical machine.

I got a great MP3 player - a Zune by Dell. I love, love, love it. I listen to great music and the time passes quicker.

Popsicles have helped save my life. sugar free, of course. I love all of them, but especially the pineapple one's.

Another trick I learned, if I feel hungry at night and want to keep eating, I just go to bed earlier than usual. Or, at least go watch tv in bed instead of being in the living room - too close to the kitchen.

Another thing, I have a great Daughter. She's in college, and stays there during the week, but comes home each weekend. If she leaves any "goodies" behind I make sure that I bring them to one of my neighbors on Monday when I get home so that I'm not tempted.

Those are a few of my tricks. Let me know when you develop some of your own. The more we share, the more success we'll all have.

Sue

I had all my pre-op teahing today and met a group of ladies having surgery the sam day as me. I got a lot of good tips but really won't get it till it's done. What do you know about Protein Powder waht is the best to get? Sounds like I'll be using a lot of it while on full liquids for the next 2 weeks. ready to get this done!!!

        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
