Hi gals

Vicki

sorry you are in such a place. I wish I had something to say other than stay strong and don't totally gve up. I bounced 8lbs for a year, up 8 down 8 but never lost any more than my lowest, it was very frustrating but I survived, and trust me, if my OCD crazyness got thru it... so can you!

Vicki, keep in mind how far you have come. Take some new pictures and compare the old you to the new you and get inspired from that. You've done really well so keep working at it and don't give up. :smile:

Thanx guys, really, Val, BigGurl, Jen, everyone, It really helps to know I am not alone, one thing I have not done is take pictures and now I wish I had, I was never a picture taker to begin with..I will see if I can find one and take it from there. I am just craving everything sweet and carbolicous....I need to stay focused and I hate my boyfriend cause he is no help at all, shoving butterfingers and other sweets at me today telling me to treat myself. I though i would have to kill him and go to prison and lose weight there with there i'm sure nasty food... oh well, no prison today just good old fashioned will power..love to all and talk to you soon....:thumbup:

When I do liquids, I do low sodium chicken broth and s/f pops, post surgery liquids. 5 day pouch test. I need a fill, so it is hard when I can eat. I decided last night that I am going to do the old LA Weightloss jumpstart. 3 oranges, unlimited chicken and green veggies, for 3 days. I do know it works, why don't know, but it does.

I am so sorry, guys just don't have a clue how hard it is. Have you been with him the entire journey of weightloss? You don't have to answer, sorry if too personal. But do you think maybe he is a little jealous? I am still dealing with jealousy.

You know what else I hate, when I am dating... guys like to eat... and most of them want to take me out to eat on a date... I don't tell everyone about my surgery, infact, no one knows, I just tell them I have digestive problems.... that is a need to know thing... but they all know I have issues and am really into nutrition so WHY.... WHY do they insist on going out to eat 3 meals a day???

OK, well, I feel better after my drunk fest last night... so I'm going to get motivated and hit the gym.

Vicki - stay strong! xoxoxo

        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.

      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
