Starting To Feel Normal Again....



Recommended Posts

I will complete my 4th week tomorrow. Last night I ate a small handful of cashews. I know they are high fat, but I think it was a turning point for me. They were so good and did not bother me at all. That is the most normal I have felt since surgery. I can do this!

Nuts are a good fat!! As long as it's in moderation and your sleeve can handle them, go for it!! Congrats!! I remember my turning point was at about 4 weeks too. I felt so relieved. Elated. Like 'NOW my new life starts and I can do this!' Is that kinda how you feel?

Me too! I was just 4 weeks yesterday and ate some chicken curry and rice for dinner. I too then looked at my husband and said 'look at me. Eating like a normal human being!' I have so much more energy now too.

Keep it up.

Oh I loved cashew nuts and almonds ! I could handle them at the end of week 3 I think , when I had trouble eating even mashed potatoes..

Hang in there.. you need 2 more weeks to feel much better..

      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.
