I had my sleeve so I don't have to diet any more! If you really really want something " not healthy" I say you should have it. Heaven knows you won't be able to eat the whole thing, just get it out of your system and then make your next meal count for nutrition.

If you want nothing but junk food , that's not a craving, that's self destructive. Figure out what it is that you really want. An occasional treat will not destroy your overall progress in the long run.

Hey ' date=' I went through the same things . Hang in there !! Really I mean it . I was sleeved 6 months ago and it had changed my life . It was hard at first don't get me wrong . I missed food so much ! I would cry at the drop of a hat . Angry at what I had done for a while . But, once I started to eat soft then normal foods then I realized there wasn't anything I couldn't have but just in small amounts . I had one small miniature 3 musketeers for Halloween and that's all I wanted. I am not going to deprive myself but eat well and allow myself occasional treat. I have lost over 70 lbs including my pre- op . Message me if you need support ![/quote']

Aww, that is such a sweet response. I love this group!

Speaking of Taco Bell, when I was out with my little girl and had to find us something for lunch, we went there. I ordered pintos and cheese for me. It was wonderful! I had about 1/4-1/2 of it and threw the rest away. According to their website, it wasn't more than 100 calories. It's like a bean burrito without the tortilla!

Maybe next time if you get stuck you can try it.

I tried that yesterday. It felt like it was having a hard time going down. Ill try again in a few days or a week. Also I have been seeing alot of posts about slider foods. They go down easy??

It's funny really. I used to say I wish there was some kind of magic that would make me physically sick when I ate crap and would make me crave healthy foods. Now when I get cravings I remember that I got the magic (sleeve) that I wished for and it really helps the cravings to pass... it takes time for your body and mind to rid itself of a lifetime of bad habbits... fortunately. .. it can also become just as accustomed to new habbits. Give it time. You can do this.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
