Me! Friday I get to have tuna! I'm so excited! Yogurt and applesauce are my salvation now. I bought lots of different flavors.

Like you, I'm sick of the shakes! Hate the strawberry but I'm forcing myself to drink them. They make me feel full.

Haha. I'm in the same boat! I told my family if they loved me they wouldn't eat burgers and fries they'd have thinned down Soup with me. They all looked at me and kept eating lol.

Hey all, I'm about a month ahead of you and just wanted to let you know purees made everything better including that "hunger". Be patient. Relief is coming.

Hungry? I am never hungry and just eat because I need too. I was told the hunger hormone would be fine roughly a yr. So strange how our differences show. I still like food on s mental level but when you can only eat 1-1 1/2 oz at a time the "pleasure" is short lived. Guess that is one way it is helping my mental food demons.

Totally hungry and completely sick of liquids. Was sleeved on the 26th. Pre op diet two weeks and now all liquid post op. Have my two week appt with doc and nut on among any and hope to get released to purée or mushy or whatever. Anything has to be better than this. First week I was totally full, this week not so much.

Meant to say I'm seeing them on Monday. Autocorrect can be so weird. Anyway, are you feeling full on small amounts of food now? It's my biggest concern, that I'll be the one sleever in history who still has a huge appetite!!

I'm now on pureed foods and finally able to calm the hunger with something other than a Protein shake- though i still have to drink them to get all the Protein requirement in- i'm surprised with how little i'm eating- and feeling satisfied! Sounds like a lot of us on this app have that same concern about stretching our stomaches! How are you doing???

How are all aug 26th sleevers doing????

You were also sleeved on 26th right? What type of puréed food have you had? I'm still waiting for Monday's appt with surgeon and dietician...I plan to make a crockpot of refried Beans and I found a yummy looking ricotta bake recipe I might put together. Anything, please, other than liquid!!!! :)

        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!

      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
