No my doctor says 2-3cc a time depending on my needs. I couldnt imagine doing 1cc at a time- that would end up costing a hell of alot if you are paying out of pocket- seems like you would have to visit him more often than normal

you sound like me...i was never one to eat much of the "bad" stuff, but have a quantity issue...i too am eating essentially the same things and on most days, less...however, i feel like i can still eat quite a bit...i'm eating mashed potatoes as well and Soups, etc...i'm definitely having trouble with breads, etc...funny, i can still eat bacon!! we'll see, i'm trying not to get too discouraged with the 10 pounds a month weight loss...saw a lady that lost 40# in her first two months which scared me, but nice to know there's others out there like me! thanks for writing!! don't give up!!

I am really frustrated. In June I weighed 275 and started Weight Watchers Core. I was losing weight at a regular pace. Two weeks before getting my band on 8/19 I was put on Atkins preop, and the weight loss slowed way down. On the day of surgery I weighed 248. While on liquids, post op, I started losing again. I went down to 238. I have not lost any weight in the last 3 weeks. As of today, I am up to 242. I am scheduled for my first fill on Monday. I am wondering if I should go back to doing Weight Watchers since the high Protein thing doesn't seem to work with me.

        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
