I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

My Fitness Pal is now a habit, sometimes I enter the food before I eat it. It is a great way to keep track of the proteins I take in, that is my main goal for each day.

I also track but use an app called Lose It...

Thanks! Yes I use fitness pal. I am still trying to navigate through this, and so far it has been pretty easy. I think I overreacted because when I tracked my food it was not a bad choice. I just don't want to let my feelings when I'm stressed determine what I am going to eat. I knew this was a challenge I had before surgery, and this was the first time it showed up since surgery. I will have to keep an eye on it for the rest of my life & that's just the way it is. I think if I had been more prepared (such as had my lunch with me) I wouldn't have considered getting food out. But looking at it today it's ok that I ate that food, it's just the circumstances that I made the decision that upset me. It was just plain soft cooked lean brisket, no sauce. I think the mental change is the hardest part of this. I just want to do everything the right way. I am 100% committed to this process, I am just a worrier.

keep going to your goal!.

Can never have too many friends!

First check up with my surgeon today and I am a little over 3 weeks out! I am 30lbs down ( had a stall when I started phase 2 diet) and everything went really well! My doctor said I can have coffee again yay! Nut said I'm ready for denser foods. I wonder if anyone else had this issue.....I have had several dizzy or lightheaded spells. My doctor said it was because I am not getting enough sodium & I need to add more salt to my diet. I never would have guessed that! My nut said to start eating deli lunch meat. They also said I should lose 60lbs over the next 2-1/2 months! That seems impossible! I will do my best to make it happen by following the plan & exercising, but it is very hard to imagine that I will lose that much!

@@NewgirlfromMd Awesome! I stalled phase 2 also and was immediately like oh this isn't gonna work either. Started phase 3 today and spent an hour cleaning the yard (an acre) for spring. Hope I'm as lucky like you and we'll watch the numbers drop together!

That's awesome! Glad your energy is so good! I'm really glad I found out what was causing my dizziness & how to fix it. It was really making it hard to be as active as I wanted to be. Yep you are right we are going to watch these numbers drop!

I'm still on liquids i start purees on the 20 of this month i got a Lil depressed because no weight was coming off the protein messed with my stomach they told me use rice protein and i have found out to be disgusting even with adding fruit like the nut said. I pray for a change soon

I was sleeved on March 2nd. I'm only down about 20 pounds. 16 of that came off the first 2 weeks. As soon as my diet progressed my weight loss slowed way down. Sucks to be so hungry and eat so little and not lose much weight.
