I feel like my lifelong reality has been brought to the forums, where I say something dumb like, "how many Beans should I put in my mouth?" and all the attention has gone to the skinnier, prettier girl in the room. <_<

I use the small white ramikens from surlatable, for measureing, I packed in Beans till about half full, used a mozzarella cheese stick, 2 tablespoons salsa, put in microwave, could eat 1/2, so save other half for lunch or dinner next day, without messing more dishes. I swear the hobbits took over my house, there is small dishes and spoons everywhere LOL

KatiKati, Dean is right on the pureed chili too - saved me - could eat very little and be fully satiated! Made it myself to control the spiciness. Threw it in the crockpot overnight and had meals for a few weeks!

:( I'm sorry! I am NOT prettier than you! And I may be a bit smaller because I had my surgery before you! You will be there soon! I promise!

Pictures are all smoke and mirrors anyways

Sorry :(

Oh and call me a weirdo but I also blended meatloaf and gravy! Yummy 1/4 cup again.

I had to have meat at that point I was starving!

It wasn't saying something dumb at all. I think the question is the root of what we have to get our heads around - and it's hard! We're not on diets anymore, and it's hard work getting our heads around that and how to 'eat normally'.

I'm sorry you feel that way because I really did try and give a considered answer :(

And in any case I'm the skinniest, best looking person in the room ;)

Ha Ha. That's funny, because whenever I'm around the girls are always preoccupied with trying to gain the attention of my gay friends.

It really is!!!

I really like homemade tacos now ( I'm ten months)

You can add the meat and Beans with salad toppings on top. It's a meal.

And yes one fills you up and it's very satisfying.

I could eat one everyday.

My family says awe mom not tacos again lol

      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.
