I remember months back I saw a fork with a timer on it on Amazon.com. It was simple... Just had like a 20 second timer for in between bites. Of course now that I'm interested I can't find the dang thing! I've seen the hapifork, but it's an expensive Bluetooth contraption... Anyone else ever heard or seen this? Thanks!

I remember the concept but the idea never took off because of the problem of registering the bites you actually take. It'd be a wonderful idea for us sleevers!

I just want to know, is it strange that I don't get full when I drink? I can drink a 16oz bottle of Water in 20 minutes and I'm not full at all. When I eat I just put very little on my plate because I know it should be a small portion. Does anyone else have that problem. I was looking at my op report and it didn't say how much he took off. I just want to feel full. I hope I'm not the only one that feels like this.

Ohhhh lawdy! You're NOT alone at all!!! I feel the exact same way. I even opened up a board about it yesterday. The bottom line as one member said, don't compare yourself to others because we're all different, and things will happen to us differently. You are absolutely OK! The board is called "Normal Consumption...?". Check it out, lots of good advice from fellow members regarding our feelings on the subject.

I got some nice appetizer spoons on a sale site (haven't yet found appetizer forks but I'm still on soft foods so use a spoon most of the time) and that has helped take smaller bites. I feel better using it than I would a toddler spoons and forks but some people use those.

      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
