While I was away we ate out everyday and I can honestly say I miss foooooood !!!! Everyone around me having big cheeseburgers and nachos the smell of onion rings made me crazy and delicious Desserts :( I chewed on grilled chicken even though I'm on purée stage it sucks I just wanted a bite of that cheeseburger I miss it :( I guess one day I can have a slider !!

I was so happy when we were on vacation that we were at a condo with a full kitchen. We only ate out twice I think. I went to the grocery store as soon as we got there and I stocked up on all of my VSG essentials! :) As an added bonus, the rest of my family ate healthier, we had more time for active stuff like extra swimming, and we spent a lot less money than eating out all of the time.

I know it is hard at this stage to watch others eat in front of you. I just came back from Disney World and saw my family eat steaks the size of my head in front of me, but I did not feel deprived.I had a few bites then I was full. I think once your body gets used to the good things you are putting in it, you will start to crave those foods instead of junk food. We have all walked the path that you are currently on and we know how you feel. If you need support come to the forum and let us give you suugestions or tell you we know how we are feeling and lift you up. You can do this!!!! We are on your side.

Ugh that's what I'm dreading also. I'll be going on vacation in 5 weeks and I'm a bit worried since ill be staying at a resort. Not much ability to cook your own food so will have to get creative.

I am in Ocean City MD right now and was getting a bit depressed. I am nine weeks out and I am ok to eat anything as tolerated. However, after a few bites I am full and everyone is eating sooo much it's sickening. I tried a little ice cream the other night and had a bad stomach ache. It is worth the new healthier me, but I think its normal to get a little down sometimes. Good luck to you all!

I can totally relate to the frustration and the depression part. It's hard going from your life revolving around food for everything to the exact opposite. And watching everyone else eat while you choke down grilled chicken, is depressing, at first. Then you sit back and realize that those habits were the habits that got you to the point of surgery. I became relieved when I recognized that at any other time in my life I would have fallen off my diet and would have stayed in those same fat jeans because food was more important then me. Now I know that I am more important then those fried onion rings. Hope that makes sense. If I crave something now, I take a bite of someone's greasiness, satisfy the urge, and go back to my healthy life that has gotten me close to onederland for the first time in 14 years. 10 weeks and 39 pounds so far feels better then any greasy food I have had! Good luck to you! Hang in there!

I'm in OC right now! We went to Bonfire buffet with family. I ate a little prime rib and potatoes! They were really nice and only charged me for a child. My 1 and 1/2 year old nephew ate more than me and it was free for him! 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.
