I am so going to miss...



Recommended Posts

...baby spinach. Since my last fill I can eat eggs and salad...barely. I have to take small bites, chew thoroughly and then wait until it 'settles'. Yesterday, my band went tight on me. Probably because I was scheduled for a fill today. Being cautious and not wanting another overfill, I cancelled the fill. Today it's worse. My eggs at Breakfast were a no go and now my baby spinach salad is sitting here laughing at me!

could you try saute'ing the spinach? I love spinach & mushrooms thrown in the skillet and heated until they're wilted....

Please accept my condolences :) I think I am up to about 6 cc's and I can no longer do eggs & am finding it harder everyday to eat my new favorite food broccoli....

I can't eat eggs either- I miss them too. I tolerate cooked spinach with no problem, I cook it with some olive oil spray and garlic. Best wishes!

With each fill i find something else i miss!!! It seems my food list changes with every fill!! ughhh it gets so aggravating sometimes! But i wouldnt change it for the world! It just seems everytime i get a fill i have to learn what to eat all over again!!

Maybe you could try egg beaters. . . I personally love them especially the southwest. Easy to make in the morning.

I will have my first fill on November 30th and can still eat eggs, but I have seen so many people post about not being able to eat them. I so enjoy my scrambled egg every morning. Why do people have such a hard time with eggs? it just seems like that would be one of the easier things to eat. :)

I must be extremely lucky because I don't miss anything. I'm able to tolerate anything (and I like it that way). I still have restriction, but I can even eat a pancake in the morning if hubby makes me one (yes, only one). I've been too tight and it's not fun.

At times I compare myself to other bandsters I know near me and think I should get a touch of a fill, but I like the fact that I can eat "normal" and by that I mean anything, and haven't pb'ed since Memorial Day.

But I guess normal is what you want it to be and what you're willing to live with or without. There was a time when having some foods too difficult to eat was easier for me to lose weight since they were off limits.

My physician's office has recommended on their message board to keep it as loose as possible yet still have restriction in order to avoid having problems with dilation or slippage. I guess I've also subscribed to that notion so I can keep this band in me for a long, long time.

Count me as a fortunate one. And good luck to all on your journey.

Emjay,

You are indeed fortunate! At this point in time I can still eat as much as I want. Most days since my last fill I am content, but there are some days when I'm not and have to struggle not to keep on eating. If I get filled to the point where I actually have to stop eating after 1 cup of food, then I'm too tight and almost everything gets stuck.

Totally agree with the above.

      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.
