OK, so today is the first day I have weighed since last week. I stepped on the scales after everyone was gone this morning. I was really scared that I had gained weight (I have cheated a few times with this mushie stage). I have no restriction at all yet and i get hungry and end up with hungar headaches so i take a few bites of chicken salad or something. Anyways, the scales have finally moved again.:sad::) I have now lost 14 pounds which brings me to 250lbs even. I am really excited today about this.

I started the night before last with my walking. I took it to the extreme and walked 2 miles. I ended up with inflamation in my right heal and wasn't able to walk without sharp pain all day yesterday. Today it is much better with just a little bit of pain that subsides after I have been up and on it for a while.

I have decided that on the nights that my son has football practice and my daughter has cheerleading practice I am going to walk the track instead of just sitting there watching them. That will give me a total of 4 nights that I will be able to walk atleast a mile. I think this will help me with the weight loss. Also, I have been eating refried Beans and lowfat cheese alot lately and I believe that has hendered my weight loss. They told me that it would be fine yet with my next stage I am suppose to stay away from it. I don't understand that part but oh well.

I'm off now to go eat my 3 tablespoons of my hamemade chicken salad and watch Charmed. Hope to hear from you ladies soon.

Congrats! Be careful though. Don't let that trick you into thinking cheating every once in a while is ok. If you think that, than you will cheat more and get into a downward spiral. I have been guilty of that :/

Otherwidse keep up the good work!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
