I am in a very stressful home situation, a violent partner and nowhere to go for the time being, and tonight was bad. I dont know what happened but before I knew it, I had eaten 2 small bits of bread with butter, 3 spoons of spaghetti sauce and a bit of soft fruit cheese. I am nine days post op and supposed rto be on fluids. Have I blown it?

First off, I am sorry to hear about your situation. I hope things start to get better for you.

Secondly, I don't think that you have blown it. Everyone is different and every doctor is different. I have known people who were on solid food after 6 days. I wouldn't keep doing it but I think that if you aren't having any symptoms you should be fine.

Good luck to you!

I'm sorry to hear about your home situation too -- and I hope you will find a way to get out of there soon. It sounds like you were lucky -- you would know if your band slipped. Just don't go off your post-op diet again.

I really hope that you will get out of that home situation soon.

Best regards,

Catherine

Dream, I'm so sorry you're in a bad situation. Have you investigated services for victims of domestic violence in your area?

Eating never solves any problems. It can feel soothing, but ultimately it makes us feel less in control, and prevents us from achieving what we want to achieve.

Maintaining control in the few areas we can control can really help us feel lots stronger as we confront more serious issues in our lives.

I don't think you've done a bit of harm to your body. But taking good care of yourself will ultimately help you, emotionally.

I'm also sorry to hear of the situation that you're living in. I hope you can find the strength to get away from it!

      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. 🤞
