I think pancakes was a bad idea.....



Recommended Posts

Hi c...I hope I didn't sound harsh when I said that I get nauseous thinking of pcakes...I was feeling grumpy last night because I'm worried about a band slip but I don't think it's the case. I will report back if it is but I have a gut feeling it isn't. Listening to my gut has always been a good approach for me.

I want to tell you though that before my fill I could eat anything also. AFter my first fill ...I could eat almost anything but wasn't losing additional weight from the original weight I lost post op. AFter my 2nd fill ...anything that expands...like breads etc. will cause me to get stuck! I am not good at chewing slowly though and that may be my problem. It's a hard habit for me to start after so many years of eating without thinking. Everyone is different though hon and I wish you success which I know you will have. best ..m

Your uncle is a smart man~! This is totally the case with me as well, but for me I sometimes have to get sick more than once until my brain goes no way you don't want that. It is a matter of my mind adjusting to my new body that doesn't have an Iron stomach any longer. It's almost like I have a normal stomach now, before being banded I could eat 5x more than anyone and never feel sick or every have indigestion. This trait was probably a great survival mechinsm many years ago but in this American obessed with thin society it's a negative trait for sure!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
