Recommended Posts

UGGGG...:) Its a good thing there is nothing bad to eat in my house....all I can find to brainlessly munch is Pickle Juice, Protein bars:eek:, & sf pudding:mad0: Oh yea tums i guess i could munch on tums:drool:. I soooo want ice cream and candy bars....GRRRRR:drool5:. Its 11:00 watching Big Brother on dvr and wanting to munch.....

OK this too shall pass.....I know there are things that I can munch on its just that they aren't here now. Even if they were, they aren't what I want.

Feeling better now, I guess I just needed to write my feelings down..Thanks for listening to my scattered thoughts....

That head hunger is such a buggar, isn't it??? It's is by chance time for your cycle? I have that issue every month and it is so hard to ignore.

Just keep those good foods close by & do your best to stay on plan. If you fall off, just remember that you have control of the next bite. It's no longer all-or-nothing like it was pre-surgery. You can do this!

Yes it is that time of the month. I didn't even put 2 & 2 together. I guess that explains the ravenous cravings.

I just discovered flavored & roasted almonds online at drugstore.com. I'm sure other online locations sell them but I use drugstore because they deliver to APO addresses. Wasabi, Toffee, salt&vinegar!! I can't wait to eat these (it's my TOTM too).

I have the SAME issue when it's my time, too. It's the only time I want to eat everything in sight. Thankfully, there isn't much crap in the house and I couldn't eat more than a few bites, anyway.

Globetrotter, we have the same nuts at the commissary and they're awesome. I have four different tins of them sitting on the shelf, and when I feel the urge to snack mindlessly three or four nuts make the urge go away. It's a great idea.

      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. 🤞
