Hi guys,

I am so excited. I was sleeved on October 29, 2010 and since then I have been stuck in the house. You know doing the liquid diet, now on puree. Our family has the horrible habit of eating out a lot. So when they eat out, I just dont go and stay home and eat my liquids or my school paste puree LOL. But today, the Harry Potter movie came out and my husband knows how excited I get about that movie. So he took a half of day at work and came home early and suprised me with dinner and a movie date. He said I will enjoy myself. I was a little hesitant about going to the movies, you know the concession stand and all, but when I got there I got a bottle Water, and a sugar free popsicle and watched the movie. I didnt even finish the water and I was ok. We went to a mongolian bbq buffett for dinner and of course I was terrified. But they had an all you can eat Soup and salad bar. I only ate the liquid from the soup and i became full off of the smell of the bbq cooking. I ordered ice water (which I didnt drink). but I actually ate out. I was soo afraid that I couldnt do it, but it felt soo good to do it. You think at the beginning of this life changing procedure that you will never be able to do the things that you use to. Mostly because our lives revolve around food soo much, but we can do it. I know that soup was full of calories and possible carbs and of course fat, but it is nice to have a little "splurge". Just a side note, when we got home i walked 3 extra blocks for my splurge LOL! But just a note for you fellow sleevers who think life as you know it is over, get out and enjoy yourselves. you will find it fun to "find" how to keep on your diet.

      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.
