Ugh, so finally ate lunch around 3:45 and housed a 10.5 ounce Lean Cuisine (took about 12-15 minutes to eat it). I was still hungry, so I figured I'd go for Protein, so I ate a light cheese stick. Waited a few minutes and I was STILL hungry. So I grabbed the Quakes rice cakes stash and had about 10 mini cakes (60 cals for 7 I think it is).

Anyway, I'm not even concerned with calories right now because I'm still WAY under, but I know I can't continue to eat like this (portion size wise). I am sitting here NOW feeling over full (still never get the chest pains, but all of a sudden I feel like I've eaten Thanksgiving dinner).

I did stop after the Lean Cuisine to see if I would feel full (didn't eat too fast, nothing got stuck), but I was legitimately still hungry. Now I probably will eat hardly anything for dinner because it's so late. The thing is, I will be satisfied for 4 hours or so, but my portion size is still out of whack.

I know I need a fill, I guess I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

(Praying to God I don't go in next week for my fill to find out my pouch is stretched!!!) :(

maybe it was just an off day? there are just some days where i'm more hungry than others but i admit, i rarely feel hungry anymore.

just this weekend i went out for valentines day and ate almost an entire chicken breast when i normally can eat less than half. i also ate half of a baked potatoe. i haven't been able to eat that much for SO long that i thought for sure i over did things but i felt fine afterwards.

also, i seem to feel fuller quicker when its that time of the month.

just take it one day at a time!!

I think we are all going to have "bad" days. But we need to keep things in perspective. How does a "bad" day pre-op compare to a "bad" day post op. If we were perfect we would not have needed the surgery to begin with. We are all "losers" and proud of it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
