Question for Fitbit users...my Fitbit charge was not tracking my HR correctly at Planet Fitness this am.  Every time I looked it said my he was in the high 70s.  Based on the sweating/could barely breathe factor I'm sure it was much higher.  When I gri

Hello all!

i am almost 3 months out and down almost 40 pounds since surgery, feeling great.  My question is about the protein shakes.  The article on the home page about the 14 things to know about VSG says eat "real food."  I know others on he

Had chicken wings for dinner, usually do 3 small ones and tolerate them fine.  Tonight I was starting to feel full after 2 but they tasted good so are the third.  Now I'm quite uncomfortable in my stomach and chest.  I won't be doing that again anytime

Had my VSG done on 8/24 and I would do it again in a second, no regrets at all!  However, I am having an emotional and frustrating evening.  Hubby and kids heated up some French bread pizza for dinner with fruit, looked and smelled delicious.  I was fr

Hey all!

ive been trying to prep for work but making food ahead and putting it into individual containers.  This week I made a casserole recipe from Pinterest that's just plain gross, have had it twice and can't even do it again.

So thi

Hi everyone!

I am about 10 weeks out from VSG and I can't even believe I am saying this...I have not had a diet soda in 10 weeks!  That is amazing for me since I was consuming WAY too much before surgery.  I know that I need to focus on water n

Had a regular follow up this morning...weighed in at 215.4. Thrilled with that number since my highest was 268. I feel great! My surgeon told me he thinks I can get under 200 lbs before I see him again in 1 month. Yikes- no pressure there!

I knew I was overdue for new pants (mine were crazy loose) but when I went shopping today I had to buy THREE sizes smaller than the pair I had on! Sometimes I get impatient with the speed of the scale, but I can't argue with this. So exciting!

Today is the day I advance to the final stage of my diet. So basically nothing is off limits. I am excited to have a few veggies here and there. I don't see my diet changing dramatically as I will need to get all the protein in first anyway. Howeve

I had my sleeve done on 8/24, I have lost 24 pounds since surgery, 44 pounds total. I feel great and am getting lots of positive feedback on my weight loss. But I really struggle with a constant fear of messing this up, stretching the pouch, etc. I

Texas Roadhouse for dinner tonight, which I've always liked.  Feels different now, I worry about what to order, does it have enough protein, too much sodium, too much fat, and on and on!  I got a cheeseburger with no bun, will probably get 2-3 meals ou

Hello everyone!

I am about 5 weeks out from surgery and leaving for Florida in 2 1/2 weeks.  By the time we leave I'll have advanced to the final diet stage.  I would love to hear any great suggestions on where and what to eat at Disney parks?

Its been a little over a month since my VSG.  J am on ground foods and will advance to the final stage in 2 weeks.  Last night I had my first dinner out since the surgery.  I ordered a chicken quesadilla and just scraped the grilled chicken and cheese

I have heard so many times this is normal but still driving me nuts.  I am 3 weeks and 1 day since VSG and scale hasn't moved in a week.  Not one bit.  I've been on purée foods for 6 days and I'm getting usually 400-500 calories per day.  Meeting my 60

Met with the nutritionist today and had my diet advanced onto soft foods.  Tonight I made a 1 egg omelette with some melted cheese (one of her suggestions).  I ate about 3/4 and then was full.  She didn't give me quite as much guidance as I'd hoped as

I am 10 days post-op and have lost 12.5 pounds, which is awesome!  But I miss food.  I'm not hungry, not at all, and I'm getting the fluids and shakes in.  But it makes me crazy to know I've got 8 more days til my appt with the nutritionist where I get

Hope this question doesn't seem silly.  I am 8 days post-op now and doing well.  My current diet is 3 protein shakes (8 ounces) every day and one snack if I want it.  I know for the rest of my life I am supposed to stop eating when I'm full.  Right now

I am now 5 days post-op and getting sick of the Pure Protein frosty chocolate shakes 3x daily.  I wish I had tried more pre-op to see what I would like.  Can anyone recommend another flavor or a way to jazz up the ones I have??  Thanks so much!!

I finally had my long awaited surgery on Monday.  I don't know what I expected but it has been much harder.  I don't love taking narcotics so am mostly using ibuprofen and Tylenol but still is more painful than I would have expected.  I'm managing to g

Hi everyone!  I have been stalking this board for over a month now but this is the first time I have posted anything.  I am scheduled for VSG this coming Monday the 24th!  I am a little nervous but mostly VERY excited.  I have been overweight most of m
