Sorry for the potty mouth but that is how I feel right now! I am eating so bad since my husband left that I am afraid I will start gaining like nobody's business. I'm eating out way too much and picking the wrong things. I just ate a whopper jr w/cheese, fries, and a sweet tea! I can't continue on this path of distruction. My year will be here at the end of June and I want to be proud of this year but if I keep going on this track I wont be.

Please ladies help me out here. Remind me of how I am suppose to eat. What type of things I need to eat and how much Protein. It has left my brain with all this craziness going on!!!! :help:

I'd rather give you a big slow HUG than swift kick in the tushy :P Maybe we can prop each other up?

Between physical pain from the pinched nerve and insurance denial, I haven't been coping too well myself. Today is a new day, and I started journaling what I'm eating. I'm using www.fitday.com so I know the quality of my food too. I'm taking it one meal and one day at a time, and reminding myself that eating myself stupid isn't the answer. I'm trying to make a point of thinking about what I'm eating and why I'm eating it. If I'm not hungry, I'm going to try to refrain from eating at all. If I cannot refrian, I'm going to try to grab something very light and healthy, like fruit.< /p>

I hope this helps?

Hang in there lady, and God bless you!

I'm yogurt and tofu happy right now. I figured out that I could eat 10 bryers light or yoplait lights for just 1000 calories, and get all my protien in. All while staying under 20 grams of fat! LOL No i'm not doing the yogurt diet LOL, but I have been eating more yogurt, sometimes three times in a day. I'm back to my lowest band weight, and I hope to move my ticker along.

Angie I know you can do this, you have been doing so great. Just get back on track by measuring and writing everything down. If you are writing it down its alot harder justifying eating something that isnt' going to help us meet our goals. I'm not going to kick either....big hugs your way. Hang in there girl, and let me know if you want to meet for a fruit parfait one day (I'm addicted, i know).

I am doing pretty ok? I am trying to watch what I eat and get my Protein in. It has been hard. I want to see the scale move again and it just keeps telling me 176! I just wont budge. I need to get out and exercise as well. So I need to get crackin. I had to cancel my YMCA membership because I need to pinch pennies here. So I will have to get out in the neighborhood and walk walk walk! Thanks for checking up on me. And a facial sure sounds wonderful. :eekB:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
