Doing Better! (and pics)
After my last post of feeling stuck, I feel like things are on their way back to the right direction thankfully. I was able to drink 2 Premier Protein drinks today, which is a big accomplishment for me. I'm going to try to continue with that! Also doing well with Power Crunch bars. Just need to slow down a little with all…

I'm nervous that I'm seeing some old habits coming back and my thinking isn't helping matters by allowing to give in! Started at 286, now at 211. Feeling stuck where I'm at and want to keep going!

Anything with cheese flavor by chance? Best yogurts? I have been doing well with popsicles. I'm also not sure I'm taking in enough. I'm trying to get…

Surgery Tomorrow! Is this really worth it?
Hi, Having surgery tomorrow and kinda wondering, should I really do this? I'm 5'7 and 286 lbs. I'd like to be down to at least 150 lbs. I just had it slapped in the face again this morning that this "isn't really a surgery I have to have"... that was from the billing department of the hospital when they called today to…

Prepping for Surgery!
Hello! First, I'm so glad to have this forum to learn so much from all of you who have experienced VSG! I wanted to ask if anyone would recommend any "must haves" that I should be sure to get or make certain I have on hand as my surgery is on 8/6! I'm still hoping I'm making the right choice of this specific surgery as the…
