My mom has been in town for almost a month, to help me out after surgery. My sister also came for the weekend. Don't get me wrong with what I am about to say. I am very happy and grateful that they are both here. Sad they are leaving tonight. Butttttttt since they have never been to LA on top of me getting newly sleeved on 2/8 and adjusting I have been taking them around town for almost a month. Restuarants and food galore. I must say I think I have done pretty well considering all the temptations. But I am writing this as my mom is eating an ice cream cone and my sister is eating Toll House Cookies and I am drinking Water. Can I say I am a little happy that when they leave the constant daily temptations will be limited somewhat. Sorry for venting

Venting is good. Sorry to hear you've been bombarded with temptations.

I think that was very conservative, in your reaction, lol. That was so sweet of them to tempt you like that lol.

Truly what wonderful family you do have for being there.

Congrats on being sleeved, I was sleeved 02/04, right behind you. Hang in there :).

I'm worried about temptations too. It sounds like you are doing great though because you know those are poor eating choices.

You did a great job avoiding temptation! The first few weeks, when my family sat around for dinner, I just had my mushies in my room - I didnt feel confident enough to be near my favorite food that soon past surgery. LOL

Honestly it's been sooo hard. From hamburgers to Thai food, Chinese food, Mexican, Seafood, Korean BBQ, Brazilian Steak House etc... The list goes on!! All month long!! I either come prepared with my food/shakes or eat some Soup or something I can have on the menu. But ordering for myself is ridiculous because it's wasteful since I can only eat a bite or two. I did cave in yesterday and had the Peanut Butter inside of a sugar free Reese cup but that wasn't even a spoonful of peanut butter.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
