I find it hard not to drink...I leave drinks in another room...still working on getting religious with this. Not hard with soft foods but harder with stuff like chicken.< /p>

Going out of town next weekend. Very nervous about eating out for an entire weekend including two pre- ordered meals. Still on soft food so what foods should I pack for the ten hour drive and in the hotel room?

I didn't have a "true" dump (ie. with oil or sugar) but a couple weeks ago I had all the symptoms after I ate three pieces of dragon roll. I mindlessly fell into my old, pre-surgery habit of eating the pieces whole instead of cutting them into small pieces then eating slowly. I had all the symptoms: chest pains, rapid pulse, sweating, doubled over in pain. Fifteen minutes I later ended up getting sick in my boyfriend's drink cup when we left the building. It was easily one of the worst experiences and pains in my life. I truly wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I would avoid having that experience at all costs. Just not worth it.

I feel like I'm one of those slow losers. I'm in my 7th week, having had surgery April 17th, and I've "only" lost 24 lbs so far. I'm still wearing the same clothes from before my procedure, albeit they're looser now. I know we're all different and lose at different rates, but I honestly can't help but feel disappointed by my slow progress.

I can relate!...I'm a slow loser too!!!....I see so many who have lost double of what I've lost in almost the same amount of time. I keep thinking it's going to kick in anyday. Anxiously waiting!

wow, sounds like that was a horrific experience.. I think a few times i had mild sweating and rapid pulse, but no pains. Curiosity of the unknown has really got me wondering though :/

I would probably pack a little cooler with Protein Shakes for the car ride.

I'm a slow loser too. I've lost 27 lbs since surgery almost 2 months ago. I try to remind myself that I lost 30 lbs before surgery, so I'm sure that effects my numbers. I could be exercising a lot more as well.

I know right? I try my favorite restaurant foods at home first and wait for 30 minutes. If its okay at home' date=' then I will try it next time I go out. I know it sounds bad, but Wendy's chili has saved my Protein numbers a couple of days![/quote']

I do Wendy's chilli all the time. It's cheap and like u said sometimes it gets me to goal on protein

      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.
