  1. 1. What foods do you crave?



Recommended Posts

chocolate covered potato chips or chocolate covered pretzels are really good! And I'm not a huge chocolate, nor a huge potato chip, nor a big pretzel fan.

But I'd love some chips and salsa and guac right about now. I just wish there were some yummy low fat, low carb chips that tasted good out there. I can only do so much soy...

Doritos and sour cream....

Or some fresh baked pretzels, soft not crunchy, with some cheese and some mustard.

I'm on the pre-op diet of bacteria laced milk and their bi-products! :D

So I basically miss People foods, all people foods...

;) :beer: :lunch: :popcorn: :pizza: :cup:

But I'm hanging in there...:clap2:

Hi Jurema: Boy is it ever nice to put a face to the name. How many days to go now. Like you, I love salt so you have to wean yourself off it. Salt is addictive so that may be why you are having trouble with the pre op. Just a thought. Doddie

Doddie,

6 days and counting... I can't wait. Soon I'll be on the banded side. I wonder what I'll look like in a year and how much more better I'll feel over all. Do we have a canadian before and after pic thread?

Hi Jurema I sent you a private message. Hope you get it. But incase you don't I encourage you to take a before picture and to make a pictorial record of your journey. I am doing it, and I know many others are as well.

Make the first one as unflatering as possible then every 30 lbs. I love your ticker tape. Doddie

You are gonna look hot baby, no doubt about it. With that face, hair, etc. you will do great. We will have to make sure we meet up at TLBC around this time next year. Good luck on May 4th.

Really well. I only took one demerol the nite of and nothing else. Lots of gas. You really must try to walk around to get rid of it. Get lots of chewable Gas X and Rolaids plus gas (they're yummy). I have a hard time taking deep breaths but nurse Nancy said thats normal and to take about 5 deep breaths hold for 10 seconds every hour. Should go away in a few days. I'm on full fluids tomorrow and I can hardly wait, actually, I didn't ...had a yoghurt. Good luck on the 4th. I'll be away for about a week no computer access at the cottage so I'll check in on you next week.

All the best

      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. 🤞
