.....eating slowly. I still can barely bother sitting down at the table because I won't be there that long. It's like I find eating slightly annoying, so I want to get it over with as quickly as possible.

me too. Mugh

Craving salty Snacks. I had so hoped that my tastebuds would change post-op and I would hate things like popcorn and chips. Nope.

That's easy: Roasted and salted soy nuts Crunchamame The Good Bean garbanzo Snacks Mixed nuts (salted is fine) Jerky Ostrim turkey sticks

My bugaboo is eating slowly, like everyone else. Dang, I wish I could get the hang of it. I even have a timer.

Eating too fast. I know, not very original. I am the worst when it comes to taking my time to eat.

not sure what food stage your at but you can make chicken wings in the oven that taste better than fast food ones and lots of other fast food stuff you can make a healthy version so you don't feel ripped off.

Struggling with Vitamins too and thinking of maybe switching to regular vitamins so I at least want to take it. The bariatric ones taste gross, chalky and take forever to dissolve. I've started dreading having these pills in my mouth for up to an hour before dissolving

My surgeon and nutritionist have always said that two Flintstone's chewable vitamins are just fine. At least you don't have to wait for them to dissolve and they taste OK. :)

I take 1 Flintstone's Complete per day. Make sure you get the Complete version in the purple bottle. They include minerals.

For the late night thing, I keep some of the SF 30cal pops around from liquid phase. If its not a sweets thing i have cauliflower or radishes for crunch. But sometimes that upsets Thor, God of Thunder, that lives in my belly.

HEAD HUNGER at night! Do fine all day long and then at night - it's a real struggle! Finally gave up not using a straw and now I have no problem at all getting in my Water and liquids - I just couldn't do it sipping!

      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.
