I LOVE steak! I was so happy that I was able to eat it after surgery! I'm so happy for you, especially since it's been so long! If your sleeve is like mine, it will also love slow cooked ribs and pork :) Those are my top three favorite foods!

I'm hoping I'll be able still enjoy the tiniest bit of steak one day too. I've heard so many people on here cannot tolerate beef anymore.

My band is the majority of the reason I stopped eating red meat. There's just seemingly no way to chew it down the the point that it can clear the stoma. Every attempt to eat it (I only tried a few times) was a fail. I _can_ eat it now, but for the most part I still choose not to. I do eat some moist beef Jerky now and then. But I've found the taste no longer appeals to me, and my body does not feel as good.

If you're a steak lover, then congrats. :)

I've found several things to be blessings over life with the band. Like I can drink when I'm thirsty, not when my band wants to let me. I can eat at night, or morning... not just in my band's "window of opportunity". I don't have to question at every meal whether or not I'll be able to eat. I don't have to rely Soup all the time, or start a meal with Soup to prep the oven, so to speak. I can take pills when I need to take pills. With my slip, something stuck might cause discomfort for 2 - 3 days. I can remember some pretty horrible headaches that I just had to wade through, because there was no chance I was getting drink or pills down.

And no more having to taste those pills, btw. I would yak on a Tylenol, they were too big. Few things are as nasty as the taste of Tylenol or Tylenol sinus, or Predisone. Gah.

      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. 🤞
