Okay my friend invited some people over for a dinner that she was cooking. After she had invited them she asked me would that offend me. She already invited them and because she did I would look like a witch if i said no. Now I'm smelling all this food, and I can't eat anything until 5 days from now which I am going to the mushy food phase. I am going over to my friend house so I won't have to smell this food:cursing:. I am starting to feel like I'm not strong. I am really trying guys, I have done exactly what the doc wants. I just come up here for motivation, because I know why I chose the lapband and yes I realize it's only 5 more days of liquids, but ...so much temptations, and i'm irritated.

No you are not being sensitive, this is a new process and its hard in the beginning. If your friend is having a dinner party, maybe you can come after they finish eating dinner and its time to hang out so you won't have to explain why you are not eating or be tempted to eat.

Well the thing is , it's at our apartment lol we're roomies, but I'm just going to head out to my friend's house so I won't have to smell this food, its making my stomach growl now.

We were invited to a birthday dinner next Friday which will be 5 days after my surgery. I replied that we had other plans, but could possibly meet them after dinner for a drink (I will be drinking water!). I don't think you should put yourself into temptation yet...it will be fine when you can progress (which will be shortly), but you don't want to mess up this early! Good luck!:smile:

:drool:Yes - go get that pudding!!! I hear ya....crystal lite is keeping me sane during my liquid pre-op. I have grown to hate all the Protein powders/mixes, so I can barely choke them down anymore. Crystal light is the only normal tasting thing that crosses my lips these days! One more day! I go to pureed food 24 hours after surgery. It will be like eating at a 5 star restaurant as far as I'm concerned:laugh:

You are in a tough stage, but it does get much much better! It's a process. You are going to do fine.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
