I did pretty good yesterday.

B - 2 scrambled eggs with taco meat and sour cream

L - 8 kashi crackers, sliced ham and swiss cheese

D - salad and grilled chicken breast

S - cottage cheese and dry roasted endamame

Total carbs for the day was only 22, Protein was 65, but my calories for the day were a little low. I'll have to watch that. I need to keep them between 900 and 1000. Was only 790 yesterday.

My carbs are up a little today at 45, (toast for Breakfast and brown rice for dinner) but once again my calories are a little low (709). I'll have to sneak in some extra protein or a low carb slim fast to boost my calories.

Where do you get this dry roasted endamame? I keep hearing about it.

I don't know what it is, but I want something to snack on that's not

a bad choice. I see a lot of people eating it and I don't know what it

is or where to find it.

What part of the grocery store is it in?

I get frozen endamame from sam's. It comes in individual containers. YOu cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes and then eat the peas out of the pod. It is one of my favorites, and I think it is better for you because it is steamed, not dried. I could be wrong, but less sodium I think???????? I actually bought some more today.

The dry roasted endamame can be purchased online at either snackaisle.com or thru Amazon. I haven't found them at any local stores, but then I live in a rural community.

I really like them and they have lots of Protein and fairly low carbs. I keep some at my desk for when I have the urge to nibble.

Ok, time for me to get serious with this low carb thing again. I am soooooo ready to be in onederland, but I am not going to get there on Starbucks and Sonic slushes. So, here I go.

So far today

B - Atkins Caramel Latte shake

That's it so far, but I wanted to post to hold myself accountable.

l-one tbs of spicy guacamole and about 3 Veggie chips, hot raspberry tea w/ Splenda

d-chicken broth, hot tea

I've had to order mine online at either snackaisle.com or at Amazon. I live in a small southern town and have trouble finding things like this.

      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
