So I am only two weeks out and obviously can't have salad yet but I am so craving one. Has anyone reintroduced salad and can you tell me when? Is it very difficult to digest because of all the Fiber? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm 9 weeks out and I just tried a salad. I cut it into little tiny pieces and did pretty good. I only had a little bit because I was scared my sleeve would rebel. I'm a huge salad lover and that would just suck if my sleeve hated it.

Well, lets just say I don't regret having it,,,, I needed to get the band out . Its just not working like I'd like. I remember when I was first banded, and for the first few years, it was so amazing, and I hoped to have the same results from this. I'm not losing. I'm eating less, making good choices, working out, but I'm hungry way too often. I haven't given up yet,,, I keep thinking maybe my stomach needs to heal more, then i won't feel "hunger" so often,, hmmm, thanks for asking. It works for many, many people!! Keep up the good work!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
