Do you have a Pinterest board dedicated to WLS friendly recipes? Let's share and follow! I have a board called "After WLS ideas". I think you can search for me by name: Cindy Braziel, or you can access it via this link: http://pinterest.com/butterflylegacy/after-wls-ideas/

Love your recipes....I just repinned a bunch. You can follow me on pinterest as Carly Gonzalez. I call the list "kick the carbs" since that is the idea and I haven't told all of my friends of friends about my decision for weight loss surgery.

Thanks for the ideas!

Before I became "addicted" to VST, I was "addicted" to Pinterest. I have tons of recipes, most low fat ones. They were not liked/pinned with the Protein content in mind since the majority of them were liked/pinned prior to any thoughts of WLS. I like the idea of having a board specifically for recipes that are more protein focused. However, I'm not out about my surgery to a lot of my followers so for now, I won't be doing that. I will however, put the recipes on my computer to refer to and use in the future.

I'm not "out" either. I just followed all of Cindy's boards and will reference the recipes as needed.

Y'all are all smarter than me! I .sd only shared with a select few what I was planning on doing. The. I created my pinterest board and inadvertently outed myself!! LOL it's been wonderful though. I've had a lot of support from everyone and only negativity from my mother.... (why are some mothers like this?!?!?!) anyway.... Thanks for following my boards and I've found a lot of interesting ideas on some of yours too!

Congrats and good luck to everyone! I'm off to go look at more food porn!!! (giggle)

      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.
