I had my X-ray yesterday and it was all clear. I was able to see that I do have reflux during the X-ray. After seeing that it was all clear I went back to eating again with confidence but much slower now. It sucks eating slow but the throwing up is a lot worse. I am down 41 pounds over five weeks so it's really hard to complain. I miss eating regular food but it feels good to be down!

What were you guys eating after your 5th week? I want to try some new things and look forward to hearing any and all suggestions. Can we eat Peanut Butter?

** Glad to hear you know what in the world is going on. After reading your blog, I was like OMG, I am experiencing the same thing. I see my dr on Tuesday and may have to have an xray too. This is crazy. When was your surgery? Mine was on 5/17th. I so feel your story and hope that we both can soon be normal. It just does not work the same for everyone. Good luck.... =)

One more thing, I have not taken the Lansoprazole prevacid prescribed because I did not think I needed it... Tonight I just did 4 the 1st time after reading your story indentical to mine. Thanks!

How are you feeling now?

I am about 8 weeks out ... I can eat everything really, but like everyone else just not a lot. I stick to the Proteins first of course. I also feel I can consume more than others from what I have read but still a fraction of what I once did. I was on a stall from week 2 to 6 and that really was hard to deal with but tried not to stress it too much lol. I chalk it up to me losing a lot of weight pre surgery. Hope all goes well.

      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. 🤞
