Looks like Ann is kicking butt. 36 lbs.?! Wow. I need to get some tips.

I lost 2 lbs. this week. I do my official weigh-in on Friday morning. So, put me down for two this week - which brings my total, since surgery, to 17 lbs. lost. Woohoo.

I was stuck for almost two weeks, but added some calories and started exercising a bit, at a real low intensity, and seemed to do the trick.

Let's maybe reset it for 260? I'm sure things are going to level out here soon. But then I go for my first fill on the 19th.

Really, I've been following instructions pretty to the point. Proteins first. 64 oz + of Water a day. I can't stick totally with the 3 meals a day yet. I have a morning snack and afternoon snack, but I make sure they are high in Protein.< /p>

I am trying to get in at least 30 min of good workout a day. I'm sure that after I get past this begining stage things will level off.

You are doing fantastic! Kudos to you. I'm doing the same thing you are, with the exception of a 30-minute work out. I'm supposed to wait 6 weeks, but I did start doing my elliptical machine this week for 2, 15-minute sessions per day and that kickstarted me into losing again. But, I am taking it easy, going slow, and not using the arm things, since I'm not supposed to be exercising yet. (I can walk, but don't on rainy 30 degree days.)

I'm also getting in at least 50 grams of protein per day from supplements.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
