I just wanted go share what a wonderful expierence this has been for me! I'm sure my husband, who is very supportive would like for me to talk about something other than how little I can I eat! But this gas truly been a blessing, in so many ways. First I have lost 32 pounds since my surgery on march 23. Second I haven't thrown up, felt nauseated or poorly in general. I have been able to transition into regular foods with no problems.. I had lettuce yesterday and it went down just like it used to! And lastly I have been a carb queen for my entire adult life. Now I crave chicken, cheese, lunch meat, cottage cheese, etc. Before I could have done with out meat period. Now my carb cravings have subsided considerably. I eat healthy, but don't deprive myself of anything. If I want a nacho, I eat a nacho. If i want something sweet, I eat a bite. I was worried about adjusting to my new stomach, but it has been a breeze and I want folks to know it can happen that way! I was anxious to start my exercise regimin, but Injured my heel breaking up a fight at work. So now I'm on crutches....still losing tho! Thank all of you gor your support, this forum helped me choose this surgery and it has literally changed my life for the better!

Has anyone had changes in their foods? Like mine with the carbs? I'm interested to see how often that occurs!

Congratulations! That's great loss too!

I'm only 11 days out from surgery but I can honestly say I'm not missing all the carb rich foods I used to eat.

I will confess though that when I saw a pizza hut commercial on tv the other day...I had a moment of drooling...but it didn't linger. LOL

Isn't it amazing how this surgery works!!! I have not had ANY trouble eating anything!!! Not one single bite has bothered me. I also do not deprive myself of anything, if I want chips I have a few.

Sorry about your injury to your heel, hopefully you will heal up quick.

Yes I have had lots of changes in the foods that I eat, there are so many that I can't stand anymore, and a few that I like again. You will notice that your taste buds will change, and that you will crave some strange things. Some of your favorites will taste terrible.

Good luck to you and keep doing great!!

      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.
