My office is having a pot luck today starting right now. A few people keep inviting me in. One said just come in and have a look at the food.

Would you say to a drug addict "come in the crack house just to have a look"?

I am still on liquids even though my dr said I can start eating soft food. My tummy is still a little sore and I don't want to hurt myself.

So I am just staying away from the food.

Congrats on your will power!!!!

Did they know you've had the surgery and still asked you to come "look" at the food? If so, that's really inconsiderate! I hope that's not the case!

Keep it up!!!

I'm getting banded a week from today... are you still not hungry? when was your surgery?

No my co workers did not know I had surgery. I wanted to keep it on the DL.

@CarrieCarrie, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday. I am still do not get hungry and most of the time I don't feel like eating. I look at my watch and think it's time to eat. My tummy growls but I can not tell if I am hungry or healing.

Now my co workers are telling me about the hot chillie that I missed out on. Well good, I can't stand spicy food. So I really did not miss out on anything. NO BIGGY...

All I'm thinking about is healing.

You know what's bad, is when my kids try to feed me. Last night they were having fried chicken, mac and cheese and deep fried potato. My little girl says she wants to have dinner as a family but I can not sit at the table when they eat that kind of stuff. I just can't. So I sit in front of the tv while my family is eating at the table.

I keep thinking "I'm healing, this will pass, remember what you are doing this for".

        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
