I soooo miss chicken BLT salads from Wendy's with balsamic vinegar.

I'm only 19 days out so I don't even know when I'll be able to eat salads again.

OH and I miss boiled seafood. We're having our annual company crawfish boil this weekend..I'm going to be LICKING the crawfish just for the flavor and sucking the juice out of the pincers! LOL

Nothing cause I eat whatever I want, in moderation of course. . including alcohol 1-2 drinks only though, go straight to my head they do! hehehe. . . before the sleeve, my problem was Portion Control and not junk food eater. . . when i discussed this with the surgeon, he told me i would be an excellent candidate since this surgery controls portions. . . I eat healthy stuff, cheese, meat, veggies, fruits, tons of Water, sugar free Desserts if i have any, nuts, seeds, etc. . . but it's portion controlled. . . tonight i was really happy that i actually finished 1 whole hamburger (small one) with a slice of cheese and a pickle. . . then about 2 hours later about 6 chucks of fresh pineapple and a little bit of nuts. . . if i feel like eating ice cream, i have it, but it's sugar free and about 100 calories only. . . so nope, no missing foods here at all and loving it. . .

I don't miss anything. I eat one piece of pizza once a week. One piece and I am stuffed and have no desire to eat anymore than that. I can eat ice cream again, if I choose to.

There is no food that I can't eat and I eat whatever I want. I just can't eat very much of anything, but I'm full so it's pretty easy not to want more of anything. I love the Sleeve!

I can't wait until I'm far enough out that I can have a little taste of whatever I'm craving!

I admit that this is gonna open up just how deep my food issues are! I miss my routines. I had rituals everyday and the first three weeks post op I was lost without them. For example I would wake up and pick up my first client of the day and there is a drive thru at a gas station that everyone knows my name and knows my car and as I pulled in they had a 44 oz diet coke ready for me. I did this 4 more times during the day and had a yummy mexican lunch or wendy's a couple times per week. I had no idea how much of my time was wrapped around getting and eating food.

Maybe it's too early for me to think about this post-op but I really don't miss any particular food but like other posters above, drinking milk with a meal is something I was very used to and I miss that a bit. I agree with the crunching aspect ..I think I chewed my Jello one night just to get a sense *lol* .. but I am on soft foods now and the chewing craving is gone. It was funny to see my dishwasher loaded with spoons for about 10 days .. no forks, no plates .. just spoons :)

        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
