Whoever said a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step was right. It isn't too late. Get back on the wagon right this moment. Follow your plan. You can do this!

In the beginning you will be able eat the same so you should try to restrict yourself just so you don't gain back all that weight you lost just to prepare for the surgury. After you have had more fills you will not able to eat the same so this is a good time to slowly get used to limiting yourself. Remember the lap bad gives you the opportunity to slowly get used to the lifestyle change.

Im totally in the same boat! I got banded 03/31/11 and I am starving! I am able to eat anything I want, there is a little discomfort if I eat too big of a portion, but not enough to make me not want to eat it lol. I want a fill so bad. Im trying so hard to eat small portions and stay on my pureed and just little pieces of fish and things like that. But its so hard. Im SO hungry! But Im trying to keep losing or at least maintain my 17 lbs loss, I dont want to gain it back, Good luck to you lady! :D I wish you the best, hang in there! Much love.

After my post-op healing and before my first fill, I went on a cruise. My surgeon said "Have fun!!!" He also told me to not worry if I gained some weight during that time. He doesn't put his patients on a food plan during that time.

Most people don't feel restriction prior to receiving fills. Do your best to eat right. Forgive yourself, move on!

You don't want to hurt your surgery ! That's why you are to eat certain foods.

I know your hungry, but once you start getting fills, your hunger will slowly go down,

This takes time..... fill after fill, and it will keep getting better. trust me.... But it takes time.

So get back on track o.k....

      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. 🤞
