Yep...for sure. Believe it or not my cals are way down since surgery. I can barely eat half of what I could eat pre surgery.

I'm 6 days out and and I'm guilty, for the last 2 days I've been picking (literally...pinch size) at food. Goes down ok (chewed very very well)...it fills me. I'm a little worried I could be damaging my pouch and or staples, I feel good though, no nausea, no vomitting. I can't wait till I'm able to sit and enjoy a small dinner with my husband and kids.

Holy carbonation! And I was sad about having to give up beer! You made my day.

This is probably a stupid question but not liking it I don't drink beer or champagne, is it carbonated?

Don't eat solids too early because your sleeve is very swollen and numb, and things can get stuck in your staple line. Because the nerves aren't healed you could be tearing yourself up and not even know it. That early on, it really is life/death. Wait at least 6 weeks before doing anything risky. Unless you want to end up back in the hospital.

I will break off a piece of chocolate and eat it with almonds. Also addicted to crunchy stuff. Currently Terra chips, they are veggie but can't be that great for you. I am still losing and my cal intake is around 1100 a day but need to cut back on useless foods. I am eating more meat and raw veggies now.

I quit smoking 5 months ago. The last couple of days I've been seriously DREAMING of cigarettes. It's pissing me off because I don't want to start smoking, but because of fighting those cravings I caved on the eating over the weekend. Note: Due to not being able to stand any Liquid Protein (I gag after 2 Small sips every single time) I've progressed my diet to soft foods at 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks :/ I have however stuck to that diet pretty well...until after my sons football game...I didn't get anything at the ice cream stand for our victory celebration, but I ate the toppings off of 1 piece of pizza(Was going to take a tiny nibble of the crust, and my sister shoved it off my fork lol) then the next day I ate 1/3 of a mini Oreo container (so 1 serving of cookies), and 3/4 of cheese Pringles mini tube (3/4 of a serving). This was my first time eating something "off plan". Maybe time to go on my Zoloft again.

      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
