Today, I came home from the doctors and fancied some raspberries, so I got a 150g pack and popped them in my mouth. They slid down VERY easily and I finished them off. For a few moments, I felt like I was back to my normal sized stomach! I know that's not the case but I think I'm expecting the magic sleeve fairy to pop out and let me know it's still little. The only confirmation I have, apart from my own logic and stitches, is the sense of fullness I get...

I'm nearly 6 weeks post op. With Protein it's another story! But I'm guessing raspberries would go down easier as they are watery so possibly slide through? It's just I felt practically no restriction on them, just well satiated. And I know I should have ate them slower but I ate them in a bit of a rush...I'm just shocked I managed to get in a whole pack of them.

I suppose you can easily make a fruit smoothie out of them and that would go down quite easily as they are very watery...

You've got it! They are going to slide down.

But, you had the "well satiated" feeling. That's really what you should be looking for. We shouldn't really eat to a "full" feeling - that usually means we've overdone it. Satiated is the goal.

(Now, just because I said that, doesn't mean I follow that all the time. ;) ) At only 6 weeks out, you are still learning your "stop" signals and how much is enough for you. And, it's going to change a lot over the next 4 months or so. Just try to rememer the feeling you had today & stop when you get to that point.

Good for you!

      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. 🤞
