Greetings all. I agree that the fun has gone. However, I am 5 months our and I have found that when I do crave junk food (fries, coke, burger, pizza), I allow myself 2-3 bites and I am satisfied. More importantly for me though, the food makes me feel sluggish and bloated afterwards, so it makes me think twice before doing it again.

That is a great solution. It follows kind of what the dr.said too. They said to quit worrying so much, that it will get better as time goes on.

There is no fun in food anymore. I don't enjoy it. most everything makes me sick. I'm only 2 1/2 months out. I hear it does get better but at this point I only eat not to die

Why should food be fun? Is brushing your teeth fun? Is taking a shower fun? (I'm not talking about the kind you take with someone else!)

food can take a backseat in your life, as you find more and more things you can do at your new size!

I think eating now feels like sex without an orgasm. It gets the job done but there isn't much satisfaction afterwards.

I'm getting tired of the limited liquid diet, I'm looking forward to eating what I want again.

On that note, my niece had this proceeder done 2 years ago. As soon as she was able to eat she stretched out her pouch and never reached her goal. I'm not sure why she had it done.

I'm planning on eating foods to keep my at a healthy weight.

I agree. And my head hunger has been powerful lately. My stomach is satisfied but my head isn't.

      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.
