My tiredness comes and goes. Just ate some chicken salad and I think my pouch who I named Stella doesn't like pickle relish :(

And I relish relish! Let's trade, you get my chicken and I'll get your relish! ;-)

So I have been really having some issues with my pouch who I think I am gonna name pita pain in the ass)...I eat one day something and good the next time I am in the bathroom puking! Something is stuck. I never knew what it felt like to swallow a rock, but am learning. Back to. solids. I am also having a hard time accepting the wings (under arm flab) and tummy... I really want to eat a.meal with Protein and such and enjoy it. Just so frustrated and really done with the iccky foods that are blah!!!

I've been struggling because I would just rather not eat anything than deal with eating the same tiresome things or risk hurting or getting sick. I feel like it's not worth cut to cook when I probably won't be able to eat it anyway. I have found that Pork rinds have become a great substitute for potato chips. Really trying to find things I like to eat instead of not eating at all.

Endoscopy tomorrow to dilate. Too tight, not getting enough calories in... I thought immediately- and this is a problem?! ;) But, yes I realize why it's important just couldn't help feeling apprehensive of doc making it easier for me to eat.

Y'all are scaring me with all the talk about puking and dumping. I'm 3 wks post op yesterday and haven't been sick yet. I eat only 1/2 cup of full liquids, pudding, Soup etc and have not had issues. I worry about my next stage, is it inevitable that I will be sick trying to advance?

I am 6 weeks out and have not experienced dumping. I puked once because I ate too fast.

I was scared too lol!! I am 5 weeks out and haven't puked or dumped.

I was really careful on what I eat and how much. I was scared every time I tried something new. I also chew my food ALOT!!!!

Some people have more sensitive pouches than others and I feel awful for them!! They can do everything correct and they will still puke or dump.

Not a very good food day....I find it really hard when I get busy at work. I usually am able to hit 700 calories and like 60-70g of protien.

I've been struggling to find Protein rich foods I can tolerate. Tonight I bought a regular sized can of boiled peanuts. 24g of protein for the can. I was able to eat and tolerate it! Yay for something I love and that's rich in protein! Also, Peanut Butter crackers have been a blessing!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
