My esophageaous started closing where it intersects w/small intestine but amost everything comes back up due to my forgetting to sip, sip, sip &keep water handy lesson learned.now I'm on surgery list for 25th to dilate enough for food passage. Gotta get Protein by shakes til then.

I am not sure if I am "suppose" to eat ravioli's. In fact I know that I am not, because of the noodle portion. In fact today was the first time to eat this. I am almost 5-weeks post op and I have had Zero complications. So, I take all of those things into consideration. I get 70-oz of Water each day and also drink Protein Shakes without issue.

However, I mush them with a fork and they give me Protein. It is quick and easy as well.

Lol, just so your pouch made sure you knew it didn't like leftover pot roast!

I've have this problem with left over roasts, too. I chop them up and make them into chili. Especially pork roast. Works out great! And no waste. I will freeze the chili in small portions as well. Just an idea for you.

That's a great idea. I'd thought about repurposing it into a chili or curry, but have felt so uninspired to cook the past few days I thought it would be fine to just eat as it one more time. Nope.

Can't argue with the pouch. And it likes to reinforce the lesson so you don't forget. :-)

I don't think that is true. They don't know why some patients get strictures and others don't. I asked my doctors about strictures before surgery.

      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.
