My boyfriend is having the sleeve on 12/31. Christmas was really tuff. We had my kids over for dinner and he is on a the pre-op liquid diet. I felt really bad even guilty about cooking a traditional Christmas feast.

Anyone out there feeling the same??

My mom felt the same way. I had surgery Dec 16th, so I was on full liquids when Christmas rolled around. I told her not to worry about and it was the first of many times I would have to control my food lust; mainly because I didn't have a choice anymore! It was rough, and I did have to get out of the house for a while, but my family and the people on here were very supportive ???? best of luck to him!!! I have dropped 20 pounds in 2 weeks and I am still in disbelief, lol!!!

My husband had his band surg. Dec 4th., and Christmas was tuff at our house also. I did make him a sugar free desert with low fat cream cheese and Splenda, topped with juice from sugar free cherry pie filling. But you really do feel awful!

Hi! My wife had gastric bypass on May 14th (her birthday). Pre-op diet was so hard. I felt bad every time I even mentioned being hungry. Now I'm just now getting over my guilt. Mainly because she doesn't have the same feeling toward food as before. She doesn't get hungry like before and I have to remind her to drink Water and eat.

      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.
