Sometimes I actually want to cry when I get full after 4 - 5 bites. I don't even get to get warmed up b4 I burn out.

ME TOO!!! It's frustrating! I actually was talking to a fellow sleever today (she's 2 years post op) about it...ahe said it does get better

Soo, coffee doesn't count towards our liquids 0_o. Crap ;). I have been known to eat the bag of potato chips that comes with a Soup ordered from Panera, and occasionally an order of small fries, veggie and cheese pizza and a few spoons of frozen yogurt have found their way past my lips as well. Smh!

We can never, for the rest of our lives use a straw? That's crazy and sad.

I use straws with no problem.

I was maybe 4 weeks post op and still on liquids/very soft foods. I was so freakin hungry. I stopped at a White Castle and bought one cheese burger. I chewed it and spit it out just to have the taste in my mouth. I figured the burgers are technically soft so why not?

I'm 18 months out and 3 lbs from my next goal and I still don't get in all of my fluids or Protein. I try but I fail a lot, but I live to try again!

Adding here. Last night i had caffeinated coffee and it was delicious so i followed it with some pizza (granted only a few bites) and finished dinner off with one Peanut Butter cracker. But i want more i want more. 1/3 of a slice of a large pizza and one cracker did not fill my head hunger at all.

And cheesecake sounds delicious, might go buy a tub of the filling then i don't need to worry about the crust

And why would one puree tootsie rolls? Ahh they melt in my mouth.

Okay..my confession for the week. I made my husband chicken bacon tortellini with a Tomato ricotta sauce topped with cheese and i took a few bites of it and chewed it up and spat it out..I wanted to taste it.. I love to cook but it sucks that i cant taste everything i cook anymore... I feel so guilty for wasting food by chewing and spitting..never again.

At 1 week post op i started indulging in Sorbet. I would eat 1/2 cup a couple times a day because it seemed to hard to get anything else down.

Right after I had my baby 3 months ago I would wake up and eat "lactation cookies" probably 6 in the course of the night bc I was waking up every 2 hours to feed her. I tried to downplay it to myself cuz they were "lactation" but really it was still butter sugar and flour with some lactation supplement in there lol. Also I lived off Quaker chewy granola bars at one point I was eating about 6 a day too.

I can't even begin to bring out my skeletons from when I was pregnant lol. That is a whole diff story.

Chips and salsa are my dirty little secret. They go down reeeaallll easy ;)

I swear we are related! chips n salsa, and even worse...chips n queso are my BIGGEST downfall!!! They go down SO EASY! It sucks, but they are my trigger foods!

The other day I chopped up Tomato, onion, cilantro, Serrano peppers, avocado and sprinkled it with sea salt and lime...then I mixed it with some Julio's mild salsa dip...and ate it with those Tostitos lime chips...it was HEAVEN! I don't really feel guilty about the dip, but it made those chips slide down real good :/

If I may enquire? Why did you chew it up and spit it out? Were you very soon out of your surgery? I know that it is laden with all sorts of badness, but if you only had a little bit, would that be the end of the world? Personally, if I had a lump of gorgeousness like that in my mouth, I would not be spitting it out! :) x

      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.
