the good, the bad, the ugly

I bought whey Protein in chocolate in the largest size at Walmart. I mix it with chocolate low fat Silk milk, a few ice cubes and sometimes a banana or strawberries in a blender. I make a blender full for the entire day. And for special treat I may add sugar free Chocolate fudge for a real thick one for lunch.

Since my dietician wants me to eat every 3 hours (6 am, 9am, noon, 3pm and 6pm), I have the shake at 6am, 9am and 3pm. It holds me over for mushy at noon and 6pm. And sometimes just a small 4 ounce around 8 or 9pm holds me over during those gotta have something sweet after dinner times.

And tonight I stopped at my favorite mexican restaurant and got a bowl of their chicken with rice Soup and a bag of their tortilla chips to go and when I got home I blended it in the blender with some tortilla chips. Then heat and serve with 1/2 an avocado, and I'm in heaven! I could only eat about 4 ounces of it so it turns a bowl of soup into three meals!

I haven't tried the vanilla yet. Bet it would be good with Silk Vanilla! And to mix in powdered pudding....who'da thought? Good idea! Can't wait to try it with pastachio!

Claification on my past post: I mix in sugar free chocolate icecream, or fudgsicles not fudge. I actually never liked fudge, yet I love chocolate. Odd that.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
