So the doctor told me that I could have Meals. I was on a liquid diet for about a week when I had my appointment and he told me that I could actually eat.. I did eat today but I finished and my stomach ended up hurting me and now I Catch myself worrying about gaining weight that I end up feeling ashamed and sick. I had I had lost a total of 14 pounds and the doctor said that he needs me on the 295 pounds after he told me I only need to lose 9 pounds. I've realized that with food I do have a problem and I have no self control. It honestly is very embarrassing to say I'm just going to have to go back on my liquid diet the remaining week that I have left over and after the surgery I'm hoping not to have this problem. People think its a joke when you're overweight But honestly it is not at all it is a big problem there is so much more going on then what People on the outside see as being fat and greedy.

I hope it gets easier for you, it sure is tough controlling oneself with food. What I can tell you for sure @@LMolina1987 is that all your efforts will be rewarded. If you are able to go through with this, you'll be able to do anything. Keep strong.

@@LMolina1987 What foods were you eating? I'm feeling the same way. The doctor said I can start eating more dense foods but I fear of gaining weight and may have to go on the liquid diet again. Let me know how that goes for you.

After my visit with the surgeon setting the surgery date, I had so many food funerals that I gained 3 pounds! So, I had to loose that 3 pounds and go back to the surgeon and weigh-in to prove I had done it. That made me very sad at myself. I'm 12 days post-op and doing well. My surgeon discovered i had a hiatal hernia when he went in to do the sleeve. He repaired it at the same time. Good luck!

Oh okay. I was thinking, wow, your doctor said you can eat regular food only 1 week after surgery. Lucky!! My doctor told me that I could eat whatever up until my surgery. If I weighed alot more, I would have had to lose weight before the surgery. From the time I first met the doctor and the time I went in for surgery, I gained 7 pounds. Like ExcitedNana said, I ate everything I loved knowing I would never have it again or woudn't have it for a long time. I like her wording, food funerals. LOL Very clever. What is your height and weight now and what is your goal?

      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.
