The hardest part of all this is understanding the signals or lack of signals..... at this point you won't feel hungry. It took me a while to figure out the new signals. Sounds like you are doing it right' date=' your just not getting the response from your body that you are use to.....completely normal. As each day goes by your body will heal and you will learn the new signals. Keep doing what you are doing.[/quote']

Thank u. That's what I was trying to make sure. Ive been walking around and doing the Wii fit games a little. I thought I was gonna feel sore when I woke up but I didn't. Only one cut is still a little sore. Other than that I feel good. Only going crazy being in the house. I work two jobs and used to being on the go.

baby bowls maddys?? i spilled my tuna in my lunch bag 2 weeks ago and smelt it all day......hadnt wanted it since and was in my coach lunch bag.........boo hoo hooo

They told us to buy baby plates and bowls I guess to mentally see the bowl full instead of thinking u are eating a little bit. At first I wasn't but I found bowls with lids at Walmart that came in a pack of seven for 3 bucks. I would say it holds about a cup of liquids.

Well as long as you're sticking to Drs orders you'll do fine.

When do you get your first fill?

Now AJ are you allowed to use a straw?

I know all Drs orders are different' date=' but most say no straw.j/s[/quote']

Doctor didn't say no straws, he said that straws cause air to build up in the belly and can be uncomfortable. I sometimes use a straw when I do Protein shakes (cause I like straws), but I have to be careful not to drink them too fast. Straws are one of those things that everyone argue about. They cause air in the stomach and if you can't get it out it hurts like a son of a b*%&^. There hasn't been any scientific evidence of bands blowing off..... That I know about.

Lol. I used to burp all the time. Like every swollow of liquids I had to burp. Not much farting. Now its the highlight of the day to get some air out. Lol. Thanks everyone for the convo. I was looking online and found this app. How perfect. I feel like I'm in an elite exclusive secret club. It was important for me to try to lose as much weight before surgery so co-workers especially wouldn't be able to obviously think I had surgery. I get a month off at UPS. A month off of not waking up at 3am. That's the second best thing about the surgery after losing the weight.

lol at this whole thread :)

I too am really shocked ur up to tuna fish and egg salad already. I had my band 10 days ago and still can't have that??? My surgeon gave me a huge packet of allowable foods at all stages post op. Do you have one?

Also if I were you I would NOT buy tuna and egg salad from subway/stores. You should make your own using fat free mayo. Imagine all that fat subways had!!! I'm alarmed for you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
