Ok DISCLAIMER!!! ( please read first) This post will consist of peoples Favorite foods That they have gave up or CANT WAIT to have in the future.. IF you can not emotionally handle looking out YUMMY food right now in your recovery please refrain from going any further in this thread.

I myself Love to look at YUMMY food and find myself Watching all the food shows now.. and LOVE IT even if I cant have it YET or will ever go back to it if it is really bad for me....

SO dont say I didnt WARN YOU FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!

QUESTION- WHAT IS YOUR FAV food that you cant wait to try again and also for those that are in maintenince stage... CAN we ever eat these again of course in moderation?

See next post for mine!

I'll tell you this- if my sleeve can handle it I will 100% have movie popcorn again in my life! All things in moderation and I will certainly not be eating the entire bucket myself... But I will enjoy it. I chose sleeve so that I could have all things in moderation!

I have had buffalo wings, they are one of my favorites too. They are a bit of a splurge - even though they are high in Protein, they are also high in fat so I try to avoid them in general. They also make me want to drink beer. :)

I am 4 1/2 months out and have had some popcorn, it's not a trigger food for me so when I get it for my daughter at the movies I'm content having a few bites.

I'm not doing super low-carb so I have had some breads, I find that regular bread fills me up too much but I sometimes will have a slice of toast with my egg for Breakfast - I think the bread being toasted helps it not be too "filling" if that makes sense.

I really don't feel like I'm limited at all with my food options, as long as I get my Protein in first and don't exceed my calorie targets for the day nothing is necessarily off-limits in moderation. I think people just need to know their trigger foods and avoid the slider carbs that can get them off-track (such as the tortilla chips and salsa I ate at dinner tonight with my family - those are a bad slider for me so I really, really try to avoid them).

Love this!!! I miss eating chips and salsa/ green sauce. The fried chips make me feel sick still at a year out. I used to be able to eat an entire basket by myself.

Thank you SO much for the food porn. My family thinks I am torturing myself by watching the Cooking channel and Food Network but I love food. I just can't eat the way I used and I'm definitely ok with that. I'm one month out and know that my sleeve is still sensitive so I will take it easy before tasting my favorite food again. Happy eating with your sleeves!

I LOVE hot wings and anything spicy. I am really hoping that my sleeve will tolerate spicy again. These days I am craving the weirdest thing: Dill pickles, the crunchy Claussen dill pickles. Someday.....

I'm going to miss Krispy Kreem donuts with goop in the middle. :'( Donuts are my favorite food group.

(Then I'll go try on some small clothes and feel better ;)

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town had the BEST chicken nachos. I can't wait to have some again, in several months time, of course. That and Papa John's pizza. Mmmm.

      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.
