Will I Ever Be Able To Eat Again?



Recommended Posts

Liz....I was told champs would be ok after six months to a year. Not a lot, but it's not 100% no no in your future :). (I collect wine....this mattered to me lol)

I'm SO glad to hear this !!! This coming weekend is my "food funeral" weekend (start liquid diet tuesday). I wanted king crab legs and prime rib for my final "fatty" dinner and it isn't gonna happen :angry::(... So.... I went out today and bought myself 2 nice bottles of champagne instead !! I'm self pay for my surgery and my "discretionary fund" is now an invisible fund so I won't be having a couple bottles of Dom, but Moet will have to do... Figure it beats the hell outta Andre :P (but then, what doesn't ! B) )

Lmao...the day before surgery I was on a beach drinking champs and munching on cheese (which was actually on my preop diet). I like the way you think!

My preop diet is supposed to be Protein shakes/bars and lean/green for dinner so I'm thinking the purchase of a green champagne flute and some yummy cheese (hey, it's Protein and I'll buy lower fat !) will keep me from being a liar when my surgeon asks if I cheated ! STELLAR idea Iggy!!! :wub:

My preop was just to stay below 40 g carbs a day...which works out to steak and eight glasses of wine (more if it's a dry brute champ) :). Kinda reminded me of the red wine and jelly belly diet.....no fat :P. heh heh.

I eat bread occasionally, but it's toasted whole wheat or multi-grain... Fried foods are out! I don't miss that at all. The thought of fried foods makes me nauseous @ 10 months out & I'm happy about that! I don't want to go back to my old ways! Good luck.

I'm 1 1/2 years out and I eat anything I want , I just don't eat much of it anymore because there's not much space there. I've even eaten crap food for a week to test this thing lol. I was tired but I didn't gain any weight. I really think its impossible almost for me to gain weight. I never fluctuate more than within 2 pounds. I weigh 145.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
