Lol I feel you on that one!! My mom came over to take me to the hospital. When I opened the door she had two trays of Cookies and a cookie hanging out of her mouth!! :)

We are taking the kids to Disney land on Christmas so I don't have to sit around and watch the food fest!!

Sorry to hear that. If it were me I'd tell them to hide the knives !! It is unheard of for anyone in our family to not be there fir Christmas and at first I felt selfish of not going. But then I realized I've lived my life worry about other people and their needs. Now is the time to think about ME ;)

I'm going to lose it if my husband complains about being hungry one more time as i'm choking down some Protein, and then he goes and gets Mcdonalds. :(

When you get cravings like that it's coming from your head and not your body. Just stop and realize that it's not something your body needs and it's just something your head wants. You won't starve by not eating those things. You can beat this.

Agree.

You need to find out your triggers and it sounds like one of them is the TV.

However, know that later, your real hunger will come back. For me, losing the weight was fairly easy. I did what they told me to do and I also exercised. Still do, almost daily. I am a year out now. My real hunger is back, although it is better than it was before the sleeve. Maintaining the weightloss is harder. Much harder.

Now is the time to learn to eat properly, use that sleeve as a tool and start healthy habits.

Good luck!

      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
