I'd totally lie if they are dicks. I'd say "I'm sick and this has anti nausea medicine in it. The alternative is throwing up. I didn't want to make your customers think the food made me sick". Just sayin

That's if I'm not cranky...... Bahahahaha. But really, I'll be honest about why I can't eat. If they can't appreciate that with a huge party ordering dinners, then F them!

On your way out, tell the dicky/bitchy wait staff they're being filmed for that TV show, "What Would You Do?" and that they'll be featured on an upcoming episode to expose how poorly some places treat their customers. Ha ha!

More general advice -- be sure to stay ahead of your pain by keeping up with meds. post-op. Otherwise it feels achy each time you sip of anything and it makes it tough to get those ounces into the new tum-tum! You can feel it goin' down -- not in a good way. I was 'trying' to be good by going to bed at 11:30 vs. trying to stay awake to watch more of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. I took my last pain pill at 7:45 pm so i could take it again at 11:45 pm (every 4-6 hrs as needed). Stubborn me wanted to wait the full six hours until 1:45 am (or later). Well I just woke up now (it's 4:15 am) and... Ooooo it doesn't feel very good swallowing the four pieces of my "split in half" broken pill. ???? moral of the story: post-surgery is NO time to act 'noble' and stuff! Just TAKE IT! You'll sleep and get back to sleep MUCH better. xoxo????

No!!! Charge it!!! Lol

Are you getting lots and lots of Protein and very little carbs? I found the more Protein I get the less hunger I have. I'm getting at least 100g protein a day. I checked and I'm in ketosis so I'm burning fat too, which is why my scale keeps going down each day.

How do you know when you're in ketosis?

How do you know when you're in ketosis?

There are urine test strips you can buy at the pharmacy. They will tell you. Just go to your pharmacy and ask for ketone strips. I'm type 1 diabetic so I use them to make sure my high sugars aren't causing a bad reaction in my body which causes fat to break down. But many diets cause ketones (which apparently aren't bad if you're not type 1 diabetic) so people use them to see if they're burning fat.

      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.
