I think hamburger gives me the same affect. I tried some in chili and my sleeve did not like or at least was very loudly fighting it. I had to walk and attempt to burp the feeling of it just sitting on my chest.

When I smell my kid's food choices from trips to Taco Bell or similar, I go crazy. It smells good, but I have to resist.

I might break down and get a turkey taco from Del Taco one day, but luckily there is not one very close to the house.

It would be very helpful to have a close-by sleeve buddy. Especially one to get out and walk with. Right now it is just me and Leslie Sansone videos or a couple of times around the track during my son's football practice.

I am going to try going to work tomorrow. We will see how I do with eating and drinking and hopefully getting my daily walking in.

I start tomorrow with soft foods. What is working for you? There are so many foods I want to try. Shrimp is on the top of my list. How about sushi?

I don't understand this sleeve at all. For days I was miserable. Couldn't eat anything. Thought I was gonna die of starvation. Then today... No problems at all.

Able to drink Water well. Made chicken, potato and rice Soup added siracha. Was good. Feel fine. What the hell?. I mean I'm glad but what the heck?

I did up my omeprazol dosage to twice a day but that doesn't explain the ability to swallow today?. Maybe I just ate more carefully

I thought it was important to avoid rice/bread/potatoes etc after being sleeved, at least in the beginning? (not a dig at anyone's eating, a genuine question/remark)

My NUT said zero carbs is not good either. I can eat probably 3 pieces of sushi. The total amount of rice on those three pieces is about three table spoons maybe a little more. I am not going overboard and hogging out on carbs so I am within carb tolerance. Some have a slice of pizza once a month. It's all in the portion sizes.

@retrieverguy how was the sushi?

@perforce i don't think it's cuz you can't eat it - i think it's cuz it slows down the weight loss. for example i stalled a little this week and i have eaten some carbs cuz my acid reflux is very bad. but i'm going to stop that today and get my body back into ketosis so the scale can get moving again. Also the NUTs want you to get your Protein in first and it's hard to do that if you fill up on carbs

ps i've had a weird craving for orange juice lately! i don't know what the heck that is about. it's bad for my sugar and it's bad for my gastritis but i crave it. smh. weird.

Sushi is tonight will let you know.

It is such a beautiful day in Minnesota. Going run/walking today and shooting for a record distance. Have to go past 5.25 miles. That will compensate for three pieces of sushi topped with wasabi

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
