I am sorry to hear about your grandpa. May they rest in peace. I am an emotional eater and so it is hard to go through things like this without having the comfort of food. But sticking to a plan has helped. Congrats on the weight loss.

To everyone on this group, thank you for being a support through this process. No one else truly understands that this isn’t the “easy” way.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and I cannot wait to see all of the positive that 2023 will bring for all of us as we transform and become a healthier you. ❤️❤️

Guys this is your que to exit it’s about to be weird. Ladies stick around for the fun!!! So today I decided after work I needed to decompress. Which means self care night! This usually entails a long hot shower shaving exfoliating you know the works. All the things that make us feel normal again. I have lived in this house since 2019 and have NEVER attempted a “bath”. Let’s face it my bathtub looks like it is just big enough to fit a baby hamster in. But tonight I felt like I would give it a shot… I FIT COMFORTABLY!!!! Then to top it off it came time to shave and my cat is visible. I can see her and all her glory with minimal movement!!! I have not shaved with out fear of snagging that beautiful little sailor In so long!!! Let me tell you it was wonderful!!!!

Oh I am absolutely exhausted. BUT I will say that 35 lbs ago I would have never been able to walk that much. So it was definitely a big NSV.

Checking in and would love a buddy that had gastric sleeve - my surgery was on 20th and I’ve been pretty lucky with no issues. I’ve definitely been more tired than normal but not too bad. I’m down about 15 pounds which is way less than i expected but still excited to see the scale moving in the right direction.

I think you should call the doctor tomorrow. Have them problem shoot this rather than strangers on the internet. Ive wanted to eat so badly too, I can barely down those shakes anymore. However I’m scared of doing anything “off plan” and sabotaging future success. We are building new habits so ultimately it’s your choice. Give the doctor a call and good luck, you’ve got this!

Oh sweet pea, I'm so sorry - I think it's not 'men' who are so frustrating, I think it may be *the* man to whom you have currently hitched your wagon.
My partner has never. ever, ever been anything but totally supportive to me on my weight loss journey. He has given things up, restricted intake, upped his exercise, stopped eating carbs/sugar/whatever whenever that was what I needed at the time. I could not have done this without him.
You might want to look into couples counselling. If your partner is derailing this huge, massive, life-altering thing you have done, even inadvertently, then that needs picking apart by a professional xxx

Hey there. In those early days the bottle of Water seemed way too overwhelming. I had these one ounce cup that I would pour into. I’d pour basically like 8-10. And then take them as “shots” (very slow shots). I’d do that so that I was taking 2 every 30 min. Before I knew it the whole bottle was nearly done.!

I love these. I can take out the daily case and keep the rest at home/ it also has a morning and night section so I don’t need to remember which to take when (I can’t take my Calcium with the Vitamins I have to wait a few hours in between) so this helps.

Coming here because I need some sense knocked into me. Tomorrow is one week since my surgery and I’ve only *gasp* lost 2 pounds. Please tell me this is normal 😭😭😭

I think it’s relative for everyone. Some of us have more to lose than others. Some of us lose faster than others due to age, gender, muscle mass…that being said I started at 220 for the preop diet, was 202 surgery day (9/20) and this morning I was 201. I am still pretty swollen and sore, so I am not expecting any major changes to happen for a while. Slow and steady wins the race!

Just had my surgery yesterday. Driving home now. Ouch. The gas pain is no joke but it does get better. Yesterday was a blur. Looking forward to being able to drink without pain and for this gas to go.

Surgery is tomorrow. I’m terrified. Anyone on the same boat? I hugged my kid a little bit tighter than usual and I am ready to get to bed. Congrats to all who have gone through it and good luck to the rest of us . ❤️

My surgery is tomorrow morning (Sept 20) bright and early at 5:30 am. After the first surgery date was canceled at the last minute I’m so happy this day is nearly here. Excited to start this next part of the journey!

Good luck. My husband won’t be able to stay with me overnight, we are also an hour away. Covid related procedures.

good luck tomorrow, my GS is Tuesday. Scary but exciting! I did measurements today.

Hey there.
mine is sept 20 too. My doctor only gave me a 1 week pre op and he said to have a broth based Soup and an egg. I started it two weeks out anyway because I wanted to get my body used to the diet since it’s similar post opp. It is definitely a struggle but it gets better. I have less headaches now than I did Monday, and I find myself less irritable. Wednesday was really bad I was so so hangry.

I would encourage you to check with your doc or nutritionist to see if anything else can be added like a Greek yogurt or Jello. Or even the soup broth.

good luck. We’ve got this!
