Food, food, food

I have my surgery programed for may 18th ... i don't have a pre op diet so i can practically eat whatever i want before the big day. I am just so scared i will miss food and all the nice things, i really don't want to regret my decision, sometimes i feel I'm too week... the other part of me wants this so bad!

Your relationship with food will change. But it will change in a good way. Check out some of the bariatric friendly recipes online. I still eat chicken fajitas just no tortilla. Many new and tasty things to try.

here are a few links to check out.

Only you can decide if and when you are ready.

Personally, I felt I had eaten MORE than my share of food in my lifetime. I was VERY ready to get out from under the hold food had over me and more importantly, the weight that was holding me back from fully living my life.

I am two years out tomorrow, and I have not regretted a single moment of my life since my surgery. I can buy clothes in any store. I can climb stairs without breathing heavy, I can eat (almost) any foods I want to. I Zumba, kickbox, and do mud runs with my two athletic teenagers. It's a thrill every time they borrow MY clothes. (MY CLOTHES!!! THEY WANT TO BORROW MY CLOTHES!!!!)

There is no cake/pizza/fries/ice cream on earth that even touches how great being thin makes me feel. NONE.

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