@@wvandemark I think experiencing hunger is different for everyone. My sister thought she'd starve to death before her first fill and I'm 9 days out after surgery and I'm hardly ever hungry. I'm so excited for you!

Yes I'm now 10 days out and only fighting "head hunger". I now truly understand what that means. I have not really had any physical hunger yet. I really hope it stays that way!! Today is my first post op. I'm down 13 pounds.

Ha ha! Its funny you said sorry (it got posted twice!) for the multiple identical posts! hee hee...

Im now 9 days out, found some papers with recommended dietary guidelines for these transitions.

AM enjoying slowly bringing in foods like cottage cheese and chicken in chicken Soup, vegetables.

Still making Shakeology chocolate Protein shakes and shared half a banana a while ago. Wowza.

food tastes good but it is slowly becoming something I think less about for enjoyment and more about nutritional quotas. That said, Im in Mexico and though there is food EVERYWHERE on every corner, i

mostly has something todo with a tortilla or other corn based bread product and meat so its easy to stay away cuz those would not feel good right now Im sure!

Maybe its easier to do he post surgery adjustment here and then i Costa Rica vs the USA. Especially when, where Im from on th eEast Coast, they are about to be hit with mega storm and the fun thing to do when locked in side is eat yummy things. REmoved that temptation!

I see doc again on Friday and leave to CR on Saturday at the crack of dawn. Exciting!!

Head back March 1- hopefully down another bit before I return and fully back to solids (3 cups a day of mostly Protein n veggies. Though last two days Ive experimented with new foods- delicious and as long as i eat slowly, stay away form breads/starches and not alot, seems I can eat anything (so far). But Im very very cautious. I think Im healing faster b/c I was a pretty healthy eater before this and also moved alot (biking and dancing and swimming etc...)perhaps the active lifestyle before hand has helped me to heal faster. NOt sure. Ill see doc AND nutritionist) again before CR and see what they have to say. What about you? And will you fill out your stats? WOuld be cool to see your before and after and goals!

Best, ElisaBandida

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
