Yes I would also eat before I go. It's about enjoying company now. You won't be missing anything for sure.

Good advice about eating before you go but you could also consider taking your own foods. I find it is much easier to resist temptation if I already have something in my hand that I can nibble on. That way I don't feel totally out of it while everyone else is eating.

where is the party at?... someones home, a restaurant ... If at someones home, bring your own food. If at restaurant i'm sure you can find something on the menu, maybe a soup... mushy pasta..... sometimes i just eat the toppings off the pizza and throw away the crust.

Exactly... I have learned that food doesn't have to equal fun which goes against 50 yrs of lthinking..... It seems you can teach an old dog new tricks.

If there are no options then I wouldn't tempt pizza so early on in the mushie stage so I would just eat a head of time... Then you could assist the hostess and busy yourself while people are gorging in their pizza

Just remember to CHEW whatever it is very well. You don't want a stuck episode in a party situation!

Seems like you need to supply yourself with what you need to eat for the day. Don't plan on eating what is provided at the parties- it probably won't be acceptal at your stage in the game. I at lots of cottage cheese and applesauce when I was on mushies. Protein shakes are still a good idea too. Mashed potatoes is an option.

Have fun at the parties, socialize and try don't to focus on the food.

      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.
