So I have this lovely 2oz piece of salmon that I lovingly marinated in soy honey and freshly grated ginger, also on my plate are a few green Beans and 2 one inch squares of watermelon cut into itty bitty pieces. Do you think I can eat any of it? Nope. Less than half of the Salmon chewed to death and swallowed and I'm full.

blink.gif Such a lovely dinner...

I just have to laugh at the absurdity of it laugh.gif It's crazy how one day I can eat this exact amount of food, and the next I can hardly eat anything.tongue.gif

Ohh, that's so sad. What a terrible waste. Maybe you can finish it off later. Or is re-heated salmon tolerable?

It is so annoying, isn't it? I just made a delicious turkey roll up (deli meat) with pepper jack cheese n jalapenos grilled to perfection and three lil bites n I'm stuffed! I cut it in half and am taking it to work for lunch.... Crazy how we wanna eat it all as if we were never sleeved!! D'oh!! Lmao!!!

it's not even that I served myself too much. LOL. I served an appropriate amount of salmon, like a dozen cut green Beans and less than 1/4 cup of watermelon. Perfectly sensible and similar to dinners I have eaten before without trouble. Three bites of salmon and I was done. LOL. I'll probably have it as a bedtime snack.< img src="http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif" alt="laugh.gif" />

I have days where I'm only able to get in small bite size of fruit so I'll just have a fruit day with plenty of Water and I'm full all day and late into the nite. At first I was annoyed by it but like you i'm glad my sleeve is saving me from myself to. LoL!

Yep. Some days I can eat a whole scrambled egg--some days, 3/4 of a scrambled egg, and some days 1/2 of a scrambled egg. Same size eggs, prepared the same, even the same time of day...but my sleeve says, "Thanks, I'm done!"

I have days like that and I am 2 years out. One day I am really afraid that I stretched my sleeve and the next day a few bites and I am too full to finish my meal.

I am glad I had as upper GI while I am here in Mexicali. It showed my sleeve has stretched the exact amount it has supposed to at 2 years.

I agree it is annoying. I can barely leave the food, I really really need to finish my plate. It's so mental. I thank God everyday for that full feeling!

      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.
