So I had a dream that I was sleeved, and 20 min after I ate a piece of chicken! Obviously I know better then this, but I'm so afraid of absent mindedly putting something in my mouth like when I make my husbands lunch for work or getting my kids a snack. My surgery is now weeks away and I'm so nervous! I'm just so used to taking a piece of this, or that, and I hope I can get myself to pay attention all the time!

Sorry for my little early morning rant lol. The dream really freaked me out!

I'm exactly the same... I don't even think about it and before you know it, I've already swallowed it! I'm hoping that changes after my surgery too. My op is on 2nd July, yours?

Chew gum or suck on a mint. Seriously. It's so easy to slip into those mindless habits. I caught myself stuffing a chip in my mouth packing the cooler for the pool and I have always tracked everything because of my perpetual WWs habit. (I wonder how much I missed tracking because of blind habit?)

I spit it out, got a Listerine breath strip (GAG O RAMA!!!) and went on about my lunch making. Now I keep a pack on the fridge to grab whenever I am cooking.

And yes, I chew gum AND drink through a straw, being the rebel that I am.

Dreams just allow us to process stuff... I've recently drempt of a bagel. Go figure. But you'll be post surgery and you'll know about your stomach 24/7 for a few weeks at least. Gum and Straws, Lipstick, you ARE a rebel!

At 1 week out a friend came to visit. I made her some guacamole and without thinking tasted it for spice adjustment. Thank goodness I realized it and spit it out.

I will try the listening trick.

I am two weeks out. Made a cake when I was at home visiting family and licked the spatula without even thinking. I thought I had killed these bad habits. Now I am being even more vigilant in my day to day behavior.

I think I missed something along the way. I am 7 months out and didn't know that you can't taste test you recipes or chew gum. I don't chew gum anyway but if I did I definitely wouldn't swallow it because when I was a kid my Mum told me that if you swallow gum you blow bubbles out your arse when you fart and it sticks your panties to you.

You cant taste test if you are not to that stage yet..she had tasted guacamole when she was probably still on liquids. And most drs say not to chew gum because if you do swallow it which most adults consciencely know not too it can cause a mess in your stomach

      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
