I'm having one of those days. I feel that I can't do it!

I need to lose those 5 lbs. Last week it was 3 lbs. But no, I had to cheat during Easter with too many carbs. I'm feeling like a failure. I want to just forget about the whole thing the VSG. Deep down that is not true. I really really want the VSG and I want it to work. I have to see Weight Wise on 23 April 09 for my weigh in and see the nurse and dietician. I would really like to be at the 10lbs, so I can get a surgery date...........I need some ideas about protein for my meals lunch & dinner. Thanks for responding....

Virgie:

If you are really having an issue call your dietitian! Explain you want to get this off and you need to be extremely aggressive over the next week before you see her. They will be able to give you some ideas on how to push the envelope and get you there!

It is understandable to get down on yourself. HOWEVER, you still have to pick yourself back up and get with the program! We can cheer you on but we are not the ones making the choice of what you are putting in your mouth. Buckle down, get it together and you will make it!

Every one of us has gone through this at some point. You CAN do this girl!!

Hang in there!!! It starts NOW!!!

CHECK HEALTHFOOD STORES FOR LEAN DESSERTS MADE BY BSN. THAT'S WHAT I USED FOR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND THEN EAT SENSIBLE MEAL FOR DINNER. ANY SNACKS I HAD I MADE SURE THEY WERE HEALTHY AND I CUT OUT SODA,BREAD,RICE,PASTA AND POTATOES. GOOD LUCK!

40 LBS LOST PRE-OP

Thanks Policekat,

I will try Akins to see if I can find the lean desserts you are talking about. It's hard to give up the carbs, but I know it's for the best. That's what got me in trouble in the first place.

Virgie, you have been given some good advice here already that's hard to improve on. We have ALL been through the pre-op program. I even know a lady who had to loose 100 pounds pre-op and many who have had to loose 50 pounds pre-op. I had to loose 32-preop. We all did it and you can too. Heck, you can stand on your head and loose the 5 pounds WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR MIND UP TO DO IT AND ARE READY!!! Most of the time it's harder for "light weights" to loose this but....it's a discipline thing that the docs are looking for as much as anything. It's practice for the future. You are NOT a failure and don't say you are. Just get with the program your nuts have given your or like Ruth said call her and ask for help and they will do so. Good luck to you. I know your surgery date is just around the corner!!!

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

You're welcome Virginia. As they would say in my church "name it and claim it"!! Another note for you BE SURE YOU ARE DRINKING A MINIMUM OF 64 oz of water. This is a must and will help loose pre-op but is a requirement and necessity after surgery. You have no choice after surger whether to drink or not to drink...water that is!!! LOL

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

Listen to these ladies! They know! My success is based on what I learn from them. I *KNOW* you can be a success! Stand up for it! Make it the strongest desire in your heart! Accept nothing less!
