Soda, was almost a game changer for me! Now its gum, but I've made a deal and can have half pieces, being a habitual gum chewer at work would do me in! Big changes! New beginnings!

From what I was told coffee is acidic not good for your pouch and CAN but not always cause ulcers. But you can drink regular coffee 8 oz at a time 1 time a day wan then flush with Water the rest of the day and you will be fine.

THAT was what my doctor told me. And every doctor says some thing different.

I love French vanilla Creamer I can not give up.

But 60 calories a day in 8oz of coffee. Hope it does not kill me. That's my only cheat and will be my only cheat. Soda gone for ever candy gone all the bad stuff gone.

I don't cheat Becuse I'm afraid of going back to being fat and I love the way I'm starting to look.

I was wondering the same thing... Why can't we have gum?? I miss coffee i want to try some so bad but i don't want ulcers my mother had gastric bypass when i was in high school over 14 years ago and she had ulcers she never knew why but I'm sure it's the coffee and the cigarettes. That scares me away from the coffee. I do miss it though!

You can't have gum in the off chance you swallow it. It clogs the pouch and causes awful complications

Cold. Beer... I love kicking back with beer... Friday nights around the neighborhood bonfire, watching football, tailgating before games and shows, chilling with family and friends. Yup, I will miss beer.

      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.
