So it haven't even been two weeks since my sleeve, so for the first time in ages, I decided to watch the Super Bowl alone. I just didn't want to be surrounded by all my friends or family eating and drinking for four hours sraight. It's fine, I'll do it next year, it just feels so weird to so greatly alter a life long custom.

Go Seahawks

Yes I feel you're pain. Just know I'm out farther. I made healthy nachos...Black been chips and ground turkey with taco seasoning. chicken wings were baked chicken strips with wing sauce. It's all good!

Oh well, it could have been worse, I could have been miserable being around all that food only to my team lose.

I'm glad I made the decision I did. Actually, after the end of the game I went over to my best friends house and was cheered up by their brand new 8 week old yellow lab puppy. I can't help but have a smile with a puppy licking my chin.

By the way, and I don't care, I'm new to this forum, but I was surprised to have at least three responses by women in the guys room. Is this the norm? I good either way.

@@Eli Alexander

welcome newbie

ahhhh you'll find women everywhere you go in life :D

and on this board of course ;)

can't live with us

can't live without us :D

to answer your question

when someone posts a new thread like you did

the new thread will initially be posted in the "new topics board" then later "trending topics"

people (me) don't always realize what room their in (hmmm that sounds funny ;) )

so when i answered your subject - i wasn't aware i was in the guys room :lol:

(i took a wrong turn at the Water fountain!!!) :o

other times "us women" ;) do go deliberately into the guys room to peak at what you all are saying and doing :lol:

many times we do respond - especially if its good to get a womens point of view

(of course our answers are always right and the best :lol: :lol: )

we especially love to reply to cute newbie guys like you ;)

sorry about the seahawks :(

glad you stayed strong with your eating/drinking :)

keep up the good job :)

i know you will

Last year I was exactly where you are...this year my wife was very understanding, and she made a bunch of things which were all 'sleeve-friendly'...we watched the game as a family, and had a blast!! Here's hoping next year you will be where I am...best of success, my man!!!

Thanks BryBro. I'm perfectly happy giving up these little things in the short run for everything I gain down the road. 13 days out of surgery and I'm down 20lbs. That, added to the 27lbs I lost leading up to surgery and I'm down 47lbs since November 26th. That's worth all the sacrifices I've made and more. But next year I being social!

Exactly, Eli...congrats to you on a really great start!!! Besides...you have much more pressing upcoming issues to be concerned about...like shopping for that new wardrobe!! LOL!!! I still don't have a suit that fits, since I had to give up my 46 portly suits!!!

I'm hoping in a year or so to travel back to Vietnam, where I visited a couple years ago. For 100 bucks there I can have a silk or wool hand tailored suit made just for me and my new body. Next time I'll get 3-5 suits.

But I'm really looking forward to replacing my wardrobe. But I can't do it till I am very close to my goal weight. Till then, lots of belts and baggy shirts.

        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
