My plan doesn't want us eating more than 3 meals and a snack a day. Just work on your fluids and Protein.< /p>

I also only eat 3 meals a day plus 2 Snacks. I'm so busy at work I usually don't snack and I have to really concentrate on drinking. Do what feels natural to you. I'm almost 10 months since surgery and I still haven't regained an appetite or get hungry, but I count that as a blessing!

From once a day eating to feeling like I'm eating/drinking all the time. But my pre op program said, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed I'd be consuming, get used to it. I guess I didn't think she meant literally.

Definitely a blessing. I get very hungry but, at least, I fill up with a lot less than before surgery. I've been eating about 5 times a day & I think I'll try dividing that into 6 or 7 times a day.

I am not hungry or get hungry most of the month but there is a few days that pass by were I feel like I want to eat the world! It seems to be every month it happens for 2-4 days. I think it has something to do with hormones in the body. I had this before my surgery and would eat a whole lot of stuff when it happened! thank god for my sleeve.

      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.
