My surgeon warned me away from caffeine, but I have it anyway :-x I get why they discourage it (it's a diuretic and dehydrates you when it's hard enough getting liquids in anyway) but I don't have a problem staying hydrated and without coffee I would have to be committed!

chocolate, I have a couple of Hershey Kisses 3 or 4 x's a week. I had this surgery so I wouldn't have to give up on everything and compared on how I used to eat chocolate before surgery I'm doing GREAT! Isn't that why we all had this surgery so we still "on occasion" get to have a little of what we want? Except Brownies I can't touch them yet, I'm still too weak, Aww Man I want a Brownie, Damn I shouldn't have went there :angry: ...LOL :P

LOL. I've been craving brownies for over a week. I even bought a box thinking I would make them in the little tiny cupcake pans, but then I thought that would be too much temptation. If they are little, I would probably eat more of them. So I figured I'd just make them in a regular pan. But I havent worked up the nerve yet. It was TOM last week so I think thats why I was literally DYING from want. This week not so much so they're still in the cupboard :)

I got you beat....My daughter started Pastry school last January and she brings her work HOME...Dangit!! Truthfully most of the time it doesn't bother me (Thank God) but every once in a while I am so tempted to mug her at the friggin door! Oh crap lost my composure there for a sec, Sorry.. :unsure: LOL :D

We are all in this together right MKbalimath! So we shall overcome! (I am so damn preachy) Ha-Ha!

The first two week post op I was "detoxing" badly I wanted to eat everything but I coudn't cause my tummy was like "Hell No" (excuse the french) but after that first two weeks that went away and my taste have change tremendously, I have no taste for carbs like rice, potatoes, Pasta etc. (I wish I could say that about chocolate but you can't have everything, huh) So hang in there you'll see the changes really soon! ;)

Yep we're all in this together! The good thing about this sleeve though is that in time, when we've got our sh** together, we'll be able to eat anything in moderation. For now though, I'm TRYING to learn better eating habits. Today has been a VERY hard day though. I'm going to the gym and need to at least burn 600 calories now :/

Very, Very True!

I have pretty much got the good eating habits down (I think) first Protein then Veggies (usually broccoli with a lil cheese) I have not wanted anything else (carbs) since before surgery, I have no taste for it. The one problem I do get it the "Grazing" thing going on I have been noticing that I will eat a little but all day long, its' weird, nothing thats not healthy, you know Protein and stuff or icees, my stomach loves ice cold anything. I hope this urge stops soon. :blink:

      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
