The first few months, you really can't go wrong. However let the 5-6th month hit. Then it's really easy to go wrong. Those bad habits can easily creep up on you....

For the first 6 months or so VERY easy to stick to the diet, when eating too much - and too much is like ONE teaspoon too much - you get sick and want to vomit. At 6 months things settle down and you still find it pretty easy to follow the diet, after a year it seems another bump in capacity is typical and then it becomes a tad more difficult to be good. BUT, and that's a BIG but, it is nowhere near as hard pre-op. I remember being famished ALL the time and constantly eating, now I just eat a little too much and I am full. At going on two years I have to watch what I eat still but I do exercise a lot more and have not gained much back, I just bounce up and down a few pounds a few times.

Given the choice I'd rather be this way then the way I was pre-op.

And as usual YMMV.

I find that I can eat anything that I want, but I have defiantly slowed down in weight loss. I just broke a three month stall and lost nine pounds this month so I am thrilled! You can have anything you want, but just don't go overboard. :)

For me, at close to three years out, it can be very easy to slip back into old habits. I am a member of the "everything in moderation" philosophy, so fortunately, I don't run into too many problems. If I want something, I don't deny myself, that only leads to trouble for me. Fortunately, I can have those things I crave, but not go overboard on them because my sleeve is still there for me.

      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.
