I'm at the same point as you and had to watch my wife and son eat mac and cheese tonight! SO HARD! I feel your pain!

Aside from that stuff tasting like crap I would wait till about 4 weeks. Sorry I am a Mac and cheese snob as it is my favorite food in the world. I make my own different variations and would never touch the box stuff..

I'll get real and be the mean one. If I ate mac and cheese post op I wouldn't be as close as I am to my goal. It's taken soooo long to get where I am and I've stayed away from crap food.. Can't imagine where I'd be if I ate things like Mac n cheese. I'll treat myself to small delights after I get to goal, but I didn't get sleeved so I could eat like I did with my prior lifestyle.

In order to succeed .. I had to change my old eating habits to healthy ones. To answer you question.. in my opinion, when you hit goal.

Best of luck to you :D

That wasn't mean at all...and actually quite a bit nicer than what I was thinking, to be honest.

If you're only 2 weeks out and your most burning question is when you can eat the kinds of foods that made you have to have the surgery to begin with, that seems concerning. I would recommend seeing a therapist (I don't mean this in a rude way at all, promise!) to help tackle the reasons for wanting these kinds of foods and how you can work so that food isn't the center of the universe (I'm working on this myself now!) It's not easy, but super important.

Good luck! :)

Nothing wrong with being silly and laughing, I'm one of the worst offenders here.

Stick around (or search older threads) and you will find people asking what can they have and they're not joking - it's scary!

Fight the head hunger! I know it's hard to do, and easy to say, but you have to fight it.

I should. It sounds scary. I'm way to scared to do anything risky! This surgery means a lot to me and my future. It's just hard as $&&@!!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
