I say go and have a fun time with your daughter. I had to go to a funeral 7 days after my surgery and it was easy. I cant say the food didnt smell amazing ( home made mexican) but I had my Protein Drink and Water and did just fine. I think just having mom there will be the most important thing to your daughter. Make yourself some Soup, put it in a thermos and go have a good time...you can do this.

I wouldn't deprive yourself (or your daughter) from going. It's more about spending the time with her. Not the food. I wouldn't stray from your doctors orders. Maybe bring a Protein Shake or a snack you can eat.

I think you should definitely go spend time with your daughter ...can you maybe bring a drink or some Soup to have while others are eating? I also wasn't hungry at that stage, so being around food didn't bother me much, but I don't know how it is for you...10 days seems way soon for Pasta and breadsticks and whatnot...I had someone suggest that I say I'd just gotten over a stomach bug and didn't have much of an appetite to explain why I wasn't eating as much as everyone else. I didn't end up doing that, but it might work to fend off people who will be asking why you aren't eating...just a thought.

I guess I'll try bringing a Protein Shake I've pretty much tried to stay away from any events where food is and seeing as I'm not super hungry it's just the cravings r out of this world lol And I also didn't want to offend the teachers with not eating the food they made I think I will use the stomach bug excuse :) thanks guys

      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. 🤞
