Hard to explain but I understand, eating can be a social sharing experience in a way I think. Even family has kind of been weirded out I guess by the little I eat. I see it different than being bothered by what I eat. People would love me to eat a vegetarian or even vegan dish, they just want me to eat. Ha - :).

Why would someone worry about what you are eating? Even when I was the sole vegetarian in a group of carnivores it's never been an issue.

Eat out right now because I can get killer broth style Soups at Thai, Japanese, Mexican restaurant. I just feed the solid stuff to my mom or GF. And have enough broth for days!

@ - I understand the socializing over food, but I don't get the policing other people's food choices. All I need is good food and good friends to have a good time.

@storytotell. Totally agree with you here. Maybe things will change for me in the future, but my capacity is so small, yes, I'm thankful, I have zero desire to take the time to sit in a restaurant. I will confess that I also prefer to eat in private. Yes, people do look at what others eat and comment on it. At this time eating for me is not a joyous event. I eat for nutrition and I'm done.

Fortunately the people I call my friends don't do that and anyone else doesn't matter to me. Perhaps I have just reached the age where I don't care what others think. I enjoy being with my friends socializing, occasionally that does include going out to eat. I've been out to restaurants 4 times since being sleeved and never once felt uncomfortable. I still enjoy eating, just in smaller portions.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
