I have to share this pic with you



Recommended Posts

In case some of you are wondering how much (some of) you will be able to eat after your surgery I wanted to share this picture with you :).

I am 6 weeks out and this was my lunch today...a small, narrow, thin piece of veggie gourmet pizza from Round Table, and I AM STUFFED TO THE BRIM. And I don't eat the hard crust edge. It's such a miracle for me because I could eat at least 4 regular pieces before the surgery. This tool is truly a miracle.

Thanks for sharing. I know this sounds wierd for someone who hasn't even gotten my date yet, but I look forward to the day when I'm full from eating that amount. Before the pre-op diet, it always felt like the bottonless pit! :rolleyes:

food is soooo much better now. I was at the point where I couldn't stand it :( and didn't want to eat at all. I am now eating my favorite things, just smaller amounts (as you can see :)). I would always get a venti size light frap now I'm SUPER content with a tall :). I'm lovin it!

It's really a great thing to kind of see all the changes. . . I know that it's so weird for me to go out for Mexican food, and be content with 4-5 chips with salsa, and a few strips of fajita meat with Beans and rice rolled up in half of a tortilla with loads of guacamole ! ! ! I could eat an entire basket of chips with salsa and queso, plus 3-4 fajitas. . . with all the rice and beans, plus some more chips and salsa pre-op.

Regular crust...they asked if I wanted pan, I was like no way, for fear it may get stuck ouch! I put some regular size paper clips at the side of the plate to show just how small it actually was :)...I'm hoping to be able to eat a regular size pc. of pizza soon, I really think I need to eat more, especially for energy :(

      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
