One last request before surgery!



Recommended Posts

So, Im 4 days out from surgery and I start my Clear Liquids Monday, Im currently on the high Protein, no care diet. Here's the think, I have been craving pizza....bad!

I keep wondering should I or shouldn't I. Part of me says it's the last time i will be able to taste it in perhaps months. The other part of me is beating me up for even considering it. Thoughts....advice?

Keep beating yourself up. If you can't manage to stick to just two weeks the next several months are going to be too hard for you.

I just went to see a friend who didn't follow the advised diet plan. He has 4 stints and a feeding tube. He has to have a RNY and all its nightmare complications. Nyou went through all the hoops and underwent a major surgery. Is a slice of pizza worth it?

No don't do it. It has been tough for me too. But just think of all the weight you losing now. A slice of pizza isn't worth it. You will be able to eat pizza possibly in a few months so hang in there. We can do this.

If you do decide to eat some pizza, I would recommend you do not eat the crust, eat only the topping. At least that way you will be eating mostly Protein (meat and cheese).

It won't be that long and you will be able to eat pizza again after your surgery. I had my surgery back in September and have been eating pizza for a while now. Mostly I eat just the topping, but I do take a bite of the crust ever so often.

      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. 🤞
