QUOTE="Carol1560"]Girl,

There is no way you are hungry. It was hard for me too!

I was hungry a few days after surgery and at six and a half weeks I am STILL hungry. Yes it's a true hunger NOT head hunger and I checked with my nutritionist and surgeon and it happens. I even doubted my sleeve up until yesterday big time since I seemed to have no restriction and could eat so much! Well yesterday I went out to Celebrate my best friends birthday. Long story short, I now believe the sleeve restricts lol! Though it felt horrible I don't regret it because I feel better knowing that though I will never be one of those 3 spoonfuls and I'm full people I can't pig out add I used to! To the poster of this string..I felt crappy dissed and angry till four weeks out when I could stay eating real foods again. Now at over six weeks where I can eat almost everything I feel better. I can't eat as much as I used to but all the food I've re-introduced have been tolerated :-) hand in there..it gets better! I doubted it too :-)

It always goes back to the old saying " we always want what we cant have" somehow some way you have to find another way to overcome this way of thinking. It can be done, look at how many people have succeeded with this surgery so far.

When you get to some more 'normal' foods it will all start to seem doable again. Like an earlier poster scrambled eggs made my day/week/month. Baked beans' date=' chicken casserole, bolognaise sauce all good too and nice and soft - with my dr ok after 4 weeks.

I really like Soup so am lucky with that. I bought some lovely Thai Soups and added natural (no flavour) Protein powder to those.

Time will keep on passing and you'll experience lots of changes with it. With a bit of luck your 'new normal' will be much like your old one, but with smaller portion sizes. That's not too hard to live with.[/quote']

G'Day, Something for me to look forward to I'm being sleeved Friday at NYU can't wait :) I'm on my liquid hell right now :( never thought I would look forward to baked Beans Lol I would love a burger to go with that !! Hope your doing ok down under :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
