Um, I'm not sleeved yet. But - eating uncooked ramen which could expand in your sleeve? I'd think that would be a questionable choice. But, again. I'm not sleeved and not an expert.

Why, if you don't mind my asking, that particular choice of snack? Seems high in carbs and in general not nutrient rich. A month out, seems Proteins and liquids would be a priority? Don't mean that to sound snotty. Not how it's meant at all. Just wondering.

As in raw ramen! You eat them straight out of the package they make a delicious snack!

I'm wondering if it's normal to be able to eat that much especially one month post op!

Well to be quite honest, yes we can eat anything we put our mind to.

I think where the problem lies is why eat that?

It might not have harmed you but it's not very good for you at this point either...

I know, that was a bad choice of Snacks but it was a momentary lapse. I should be more careful. :mellow:

Oh and as far as the volume? Yes, it makes sense.

You will always be able to eat more of a nutritionally void food (junk) than the preferred sleeve diet of Protein....

Sad but true reality, because I know skinless boneless chicken breasts did not get me here.

Hey, no judgement here. If I was able to make good choices all the time, I certainly wouldn't be in the shape I'm in and in pre-op for surgery. The expansion possibility of this food concerns me. Don't want you to hurt yourself!

I have a feeling, I'll be doing some serious pantry cleansing to get the tempting stuff out of sight, out of mind!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
