Oh well damn. That just hurt my feelings. Honestly, I think he may be dealing with some issues regarding your smaller frame. He isn’t used to you being smaller so he is acting out in either jealous, insecurity or both. I am sorry you have to hear that but if losing the weight makes you happy, that’s all the matter. Sometimes we have to cut the dead root to really blossom.

I can punch him for you!!!! How rude. I'm so sorry. He's just insecure and needs to get over himself.

Dammm your killen it !! Get it baby woohooo

My favorite thing during the puree stage was to take a few meatballs; add some marinara sauce, spices, and parmesan; and puree it all together. It was basically like eating the meat sauce left on your plate after spaghetti.

@melsabells Yes, you will do wonderfully. Your doubts prove you’re human. I felt pretty secure about everything. Some anxiety the night before and during initial admitting at the hospital. Even then, I looked at my husband right before admitting, I rhetorically asked, “I really need this, right? I can’t lose weight any other way?” He said, “you need this.” I felt better after that. I struggle with generalized anxiety. You are going to live moment-to-moment through this process. There’s no doubt in my mind that you will get through this just fine. And, about the 1 lb. weight gain, don’t sweat it. Weight can shift 1or 2 lbs. and not actually be true weight gain. Sending love & light your way...☀️

you will be thankfull when that first post op bowel movement comes and you dont pray to god to die cause that hurts so much. Dehydration is both dangerous and painfull post op. Hitting your water goal IS a pain in the ass but so is dehydration. After a while you will get a good feel for how much liquid you need daily and it will get easier. good luck

Only you know what you are feeling and if you are unable to drive, that’s a problem. My suggestion would be to call your surgeon first and let them know what is going on, they might just call in a prescription or they might want to meet you at the ER. Most docs want a heads up if there’s an issue. I hope you get relief soon.

A pillow for the car ride home to brace against your stomach. Slippers so you can walk the halls, unless you prefer the hospital socks. Ask the anesthesiologist for a scopolamine patch for nausea before they send you down - works great.

My VSG is April 16 and I am doing this too. But instead of mourning the food, I am looking for way to modify the recipe and incorporate it in my diet. If is an unhealthy recipe, I am looking to see if it is something to keep for special occasions down the road. You will be able to eat these foods again, but you will do it in a healthier way and with smaller portions. I think that is something to celebrate and look forward too.
