I cheated 4 days out and had a bite of my kids Mac and cheese, I was fine. The following week I had a bite of chocolate cake. the following week had a bite of cheese pizza. I duno whats wrong with me!! I was one of te readers who said "why would you do that" Its funny my problem w/food was that it was always about comfort. I would go all day without food and be satisfied with the one big meal. Now Im 2weeks post op and all i think about is food,I never did before. Im always hungry and never satisfied. My nut advanced me to full liquids after 4 days cause i was so hungry. I just cant keep track and im always thirsty and hungry but get full really quick and then hungry again 15 minn later. I regret That i ever did this and im scared :(

Your feelings are so normal, I had them so I am certain others did too!!!! You think about food because you feel it's been taken away.... I'm only 1 mth out so no expert, but I know I have those feelings, I'm still on full liquids.... I did have must potatoes yesterday it wasn't even what I thought it would be , he said after week 3 if I experimented a lil I wouldn't be cheating but I felt I was :( anyways.... Just keep saying its all temporary!!!! Le pregnancy, eventually it ends and your holding the amazing prize.... Months down the road health and happiness and skinny you will be able to look back and say oh sheesh why was I worried! And ..... U may even be able to eat foods you love in moderation. See, light at tue end of the tunnel! Hang in there. Xo

Try googling full liquid recipes or ideas. Im 5 days out and on full liquids (per my nut at discharge) I had 2 tsp of pudding. My sleeve said enough! I been straining tastier Soups so I can get the awesome flavor w/o the chunks. I have also been really working on putting myself on a drinking schedule, so 10ozs from 10-11. 1145-lunch 1- 10 ozs... Etc. Be encouraged!!!! It is SO challenging, but we can do it!! We WILL do it!!! ;)

I'm on full liquids, too, and Cream if chicken Soup watered down with some chick broth tastes like HEAVEN!! I could only eat about three spoonfuls but it tastes REALLY good.

I'm feeling really blue today. Kind of sad and funky. I guess it's the after effects of the anesthesia, pain medicine and losing my beloved food. Gotta keep my head straight... :/

This is a mental struggle every minute. It gets better, right? RIGHT?!

      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
