Idk I'm Gonna Ever Enjoy Food Anymore



Recommended Posts

Are you sure you're really truly hungry or is it "head hunger"? Don't push yourself too hard, I did and ended u with a leak among various other complications. At 2 weeks I was on full liquids still (and at 3 months, still am). If you like clam chowder, strain Phillips clam chowder (in the frozen food section). Best clam chowder I've ever had!!! Are you getting in enough to drink? Enough Protein? Another thing I've fallen in love with is Rita's ice and freeze pops. Check with your NUT first, but mine has me on sugar, not sf and I feel like it helps a lot. Sf stuff makes me sick, and the ones that don't just taste awful and sour.

I got REALLY sick. After my surgery I did pretty good, Iwas even eating bits of fruit. Within a could weeks I wasn't able to even take my meds let alone liquids, I threw EVERYTHING up, and if I didn't have anything I dry heaved. I couldn't stand up, I got dizzy, exhausted, felt like I was going to pass out. They did a ton of tests and a week later when they had me all sorts of medicated(quite frankly over medicated, I don't remember most of that week) they did the swallow test they do when you first have it done and a ct scan and found 2 teeny tiny grey areas. A week later they were still there. I don't think I ever cried so much in my life. its fixed though now!!!!

We have the fair coming up on September 22...if I cannot eat, I am going to buy a ton of these really good, and small meatballs, and put them in a tupperware container to bring home. I'll freeze them in sandwich bags, and get them out when I can eat. I love those meatballs and wish I could have them year-round. I cannot seem to duplicate the best meatballs I've had, either...and that would be one of them.

I'm so terrified of ripping my new stomache, I would never risk it...but I, too, am wondering what the general time frame is for having real food...like if I could must a meatball all up and eat that at the fair.

I want to know how long it would take for me to eat a chicken salad or turkey burger

I am 5 weeks out and I can eat both. I just have to chew really well! The only things I have found that don't agree with me so far are canteloupe and green Beans. Corn isn't great either. Dairy makes me feel a little heavy, but I can tolerate it.

It has been 2.5 months since my surgery, and I couldn't care less about food. It is something I need, not look foward to. This fact doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I consider it GREAT collateral damage!

        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
