remember, you probably don't have any Fluid in your band yet. this is a time for healing. you may not feel any restriction, and therefore can eat the way you could pre-band. Take this time and allow your tummy to heal. It does get better, I promise!

I am so sorry you are having trouble. The banding is jsut a tool. Why are you setting yourself up for a bad outcome by having anything in the house you are not allowed to eat? Did you do all this for nothing? I hope you will take a hard look at what you have to do to make this weight loss a new way of life. If you do what you did to get you fat you will remain fat or get even bigger. I really hope you will stop any excuses and give this a chance to work. How bad do you want to be thin? What are you willing to do inorder to get htere? Good luck to you. Make the right choices.

Did your doctor not give you a step by step food diet for after your surgery? You shouldnt eat anything solid right now. You should be on a soft diet at this stage. Your still healing and should still be easing your way to solids.

      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.
