Awww, that sucks, but concentrate on the company and you'll get through it. That must be so hard.

you are doing terrific.- such restraint is most important and you are doing wonderful - and you are at the beginning, liquid phase WOW

this is so hard cuz you are just starting your sleeve, self control, not eating normally and in this case, watching others eat.

best wishes through your journey

Just remember that in a few months you will be able to go and eat with them and not feel like you have to clear your plate. This liquid phase is a killer but it will be over before we know it. When is your surgery?

I understand I had my surgery on the 28 and it is hard to watch others eat and I can't! I'm finally eating soft foods!

me again, just wanted to say at 6 months out i haven't gone out to a meal period. I'm a little scared :wacko:

This Saturday night though i'm going to try and be brave and go to Red Lobster with DH. I love this restaurant - and i know it has many good choices.

I will take a lot of food home, and i will keep my mitts off those yummy rolls. they are so good :mellow:

congrats on being good with your liquids only and no food at the restaurant- you shall overcome ;)

BTW - what a good son you are taking mom out for her b'day :)

remember food is around the bend

continued good luck

I was sleeved last Thursday. That very Saturday night, a big group of us went out for a 4 hour meal with the Dr. I had a great time and ate nothing! Just a little broth. I was seated next to the Dr. and he had me smell everything, it was kind of funny. I had no desire to eat, but I have a really strong desire to go back to that restaurant when I can eat!

        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
