By the way... the BEST TASTING Protein shakes are the SAFEWAY brand.... they come in chocolate and vanilla and are BY FAR better tasting than the Atkins ones... YUCK.... I actually prefer drinking the SAFEWAY ones over even other drinks in general, they are very good.

Just thought I would let you know.... if you have SAFEWAY stores in your area.

So I went on a bike ride with my dad today and man....I did not realize how out of shape I am! I remember being a kid and it was so easy to ride a bike...and today I was being outstriped by 8 year olds! It was really depressing actually. I havn't been on a bike in about 6 years, and I kept having to stop. And the seat hurt my butt. :biggrin:

Sufina...thanks...

marineliebe...And you think your tush is sore today? Wait until tomarrow! Good for you though!

There are some great shakes that you can make in the Blender from Sprouts market..

Also, Weight and Inches, is good. I get them from Dietdirect.com they are 29 gr Protein and low carb...and only 200 calories...I just mix mine in the morning and put in shaker containers and refridge them at work then shake them up...I like the ones I make much better than premade cans..

Try vanilla and put in some butter flavoring and cinnamon...yummy tastes like a cinnabun!

Mondays, not my favorite day by any means. But today I just realized, only 1 month and 1 week until my band date! YES YES YES! That makes this monday not as bad, and the other ones coming up are just one step closer to my goal. Is anyone starting their liquid diets yet?!?

ditto to marineliebe and bandfan1

I am with you on all of your goals too. Yes I know from my face that you can't tell. In fact people that know me never believe me when I tell them my weight. I am 5' 9 1/2" and weigh 300 as of this morning. I am very active though and I think my weight is distributed pretty well which helps with how people perceive me, but trust me, at 300 lbs, I KNOW the difference!! Ha ha.

I'm glad we all have each other for support!!

I cannot wait to,

- Go to a night club with my friends and not feel like I am embarrassing them

- Go on a vacation with my family and not be a burden

- Go to a beach with my friends and get up and go in the water!!! Instead of hang around the towel

- Walk around campus and not have to stop every 2 mins to take a breath or wait a half an hour for the bus to come

- Have a guy pick me up when he hugs me :angry:

- Not have to waste my money in physical therapy for my back problems with a bunch of elderly people

- So many other things. I can't wait!!!!!

Great ideas...Hey Bandfan1 how's the trip going?

I can't wait to not get the seatbelt extender on an airplane

I can't wait to not worry that if we are sat in a booth, I'll have to squeeze in and hold my breath...

I can't wait for kids at school not to say, "Oh she's the fat teacher!"

OR I can't wait for the little kids to not ask me when the baby is coming!

And all the other can't waits!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
