Just To Make Sure I'm Not A Freak!



Recommended Posts

Lol. So I had my surgery 11 days ago. I've able to eat and it seems handle softer foods that are whole. No completely on purpose. But hubby and I went to panera and I ordered a small French onion Soup and their baguette. So I get home and we eat I eat have my cup of soup with cooked onions in it. I ate was able to handle them. Now I'm starting to wonder if iMm going to fast for my baby tummy!

Has anymore gone through this?

Lol! Yes ma'am! The bread I'll admit was a money of weakness! But of course I didn't eat it all I had some of the insides and let it soggy in the soup! Lol but no bread on a regular basis! :)

So I'm not over working my tummy and moving to fast food wise? I have another 3.5 weeks of the puréed/liquids.

lydia - The only one who knows if you're going too fast would be you. So many of us have had different instructions from our surgeons that it's really hard to say if you're taking in something too much or not. Sounds like you have a handle on "how much" to take into your pouch but, maybe not the kinds of food? Onions can be tough. Are you on the soft or mushy stage of eating? If so everything has to be puree'd or chewed extremely well down to a puree before swallowed. Bread..well I couldn't have that until stage 5 or full food stage and even then my nutritionist said one slice of diet bread and toast it.

But...it's true that everyone has different diet plans..similar but often different. No matter what you eat though chew it well, take small bites and make sure it's super moist and you should be good. :)

Good luck!

I'm on puréed foods until I see my team on Oct 11.

But I'm going to relax with the speeding up and focus I what I put in Water Water water Protein Protein. And just give my baby tummy time to heal. I believe DL posted something about our inside taking longer to heal. And Lord knows if I went through this process and I did something stupid to mess it up...I'd be pissed at myself! :)

So just sticking with puréed until i get the a-okay! :)

      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
