1 day, I can't remember if I read you on this thread or the other one. I found my sf syrups at Sunbelt Imports, Houston, Tx. I ordered them online because i went over to the warehouse area and could not find the place. Next time I will call them. I got coconut, amaretto, toasted marshmallow, raspberry, and cinnamon. Hopefully, this will spice up my shake diet.

Happy Mother's Day to All!!!!!

Charlene, How did your appt. go?

I had lost two lbs yesterday morning, but after helping my mother I drank a bottle of Water before the appt and gained a lb. So, it is just one lb. Today I have lost 2 again. I go back to see Dr. Davis tomorrow. Maybe that 1lb will stay gone.

My mother just called and said she has pneumonia in the other lung. So, I am gonna be busy with her. Hopefully, she won't have to go back to the hospital and can just take oral antibiotics. She is not running a fever this time.

I am truly sorry your Mom is having such a hard time. Hope all is better soon.

With the 1lb up and down thing, That is why I try to weigh the same time on the same day of the week. I count my morning weight, Most of the time you'll weigh a little more in the evenings. You most likely have lost the 2lbs your right it was probably Water gain. Changing the subject, I really would like to have Robert Davis as my Doc, he seems so nice. I wish there show still came on. Well if it does it doesn't around here. I know that just came out of the blue I guess my mind is just wandering today.

Yeah, I weigh at noon so I have to expect an extra lb. Yes, he is a sweetheart. He did bypass on a friend in March and she has lost about 50lbs. She just loves him.

Hi gang! I had to go see Dr Davis this afternoon. He is happy with my loss. My homework today was if I sit down stay active doing something. Don't just sit and watch tv. I started crocheting again last week when I watch tv. He said for me to exercise at least 30 minutes five days a weeks. I have only been doing 20 minutes.

Thanks sunshine, for the prayers. My mother is on oral antibiotics now. For being 86 I think she is making a good recovery.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

I am happy for you keep it up.

Hey all sorry been a way for a while I wanted to focus on me.

I started doing the liquid thing like Charlene. Since I really put in effort for about a little over a week I have lost 3 lbs not to bad. I had a wild movie and dinner night last night with friends and went a little crazy with Mexican and 1 margarita but it was good. Back to normal today. I went to Bariatric Choice and Bariatric Advantage and got some Soups, shakes, bars and pudding all high Protein and very tasty.

Anyways hi to all.

Congrats! on the 3lbs. You have to Celebrate once in awhile. Just try to stay away from carbs. Fajita meat is fine especially on a salad. I kinda blew it today too. I have a throat infection and started taking a Z pack. It doesn't go to well with the shakes. So, I ate eggbeaters and made Soup. I'll be back tomorrow. I am feeling better this evening. The doctor wants me to exercise and walk at least 6,000 steps a day. I'll start that tomorrow too.

Whew! we are only two months from our bandiversary. I really want to meet my July goal.

Tuesday weigh in: You were right Charlene, I shouldn't have changed my ticker because the 2lbs I gained last week are gone again. Maybe it was Water gain or something. Next time I'll wait a couple of weeks to see if it's gonna stay before I add weight back to it.

I ordered 1 of the davinchi syrups yesterday and paid 7.95 each and then later after reading over this thread I checked lollicup.com and they were on sell for 3.95 each. I'm a shopper so I really hate when I miss a good deal. I'll know next time.

        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
