This will be my first holiday post op, and I'm battling the desire for emotional eating due to stress of worrying about my daughter who lives in an area hit by last weeks tornado.

I'm going to visit her for the holiday and she wants me to cook all the Louisiana comfort foods of her childhood.

Hello,

This is my first time here. I haven't had my surgery yet. I am schedule to have my surgery on 2/21/2014. I will be having VSG. I have started my 14 day liquid diet and I am on my 4th day. The hardest part I am finding with the liquid is cooking food for my family and not being able to eat it.

Hello everyone. I was sleeved 8 months ago and what a journey it has been!! As of today, I'm officially down 75lbs from my highest weight!! From 221 to 146!! I go to the gym about 3 -4 days a week, I try to get about 80grams of Protein and around 64oz of Water a day. I had some struggles with nausea early in and had to have my sleeve stretched a little but since then all clear!! To all the new folks and pre ops, stick to it!! It's so worth it!!

Hi, I just joined this site earlier this morning. Seems to be the place to find support for us sleevers. I had a question, how did you know your sleeve stretched? I'm 2 months post op and I'm struggling getting my protein in. Whew!

I had to have my sleeve stretched. I had an EGD due to a slight stricture. My doc said it does happen sometimes that sleeves may heal a little tight which causes nausea and vomiting. Te EGD was easy and they did a ballon dilatation.

I had to have my sleeve stretched. My doc said I had a slight stricture. It's not uncommon it jut means that when my sleeve was healing it was a little to narrow. My GI doc did an EGD and performed a ballon dilatation. OP procedure quick and easy. Afterward no more nausea. It's hard to keep up with the intake but do the best you can.

      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.
