We don't have a 7-11 for like 30 minutes around here but I can't wait to try a sugar free Rita's ice!

Oh and gold peak makes a good diet sweet tea that doesn't have lemon in it and tastes like sweet tea from when I lived in Georgia!

Wait, Rita's makes SF? Lol

We only have one Rita's in NYC. It's a train ride of about 45 mins. I think the same with 7-11.

I can't have anything fried & plus it's not good for us. I used to love chicken now it doesn't stay down. I did figure maybe grill chicken isn't good & I try fried it was the worst feeling. I though I was dying the worst pain in the world.

It's actually harder to trigger dumping syndrome than you think. It's like the boogey man for us wls people. You most likely won't trigger it with sweet tea, you'll trigger with things like cake, ice cream, brownies. Basically things that are obviously high in fatty oils and sugar. And even if you do eat those foods, only 50% of us will actually succumb to dumping. More often than not, you'll just vomit and be done with it. Full blown dumping is kind of rare.

Gatorade is good for dehydration because it is packed full of electrolytes. It is designed for athletes whose bodies are under a lot of stress (which ours are as well) the high sugar in it triggers your body to process it faster. If you are dehydrated, your blood sugars tend to run lower. (unless you're diabetic)

I usually drink the G2 low Cal Gatorade...does this work as affective as the regular. I am asking because when I feel dehydration setting in I grab a Gatorade. Knock on wood, haven't been to the hospital for it yet.

      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.
