Food satisfying after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I am ready for a total life style change and currently on the 2 week pre op diet... However I love to BBQ and to cook.. Does your tastes really change? How is it different?

I did not have any taste changes but some people do. You need to talk with @Dub. He is the BBQ master!

Mine changed very little.

Still love the stuff I loved before.....mostly, though.....the meats.

All about them now. Couldn't care less about Pasta and pizza.

My tastes are not different. I still love food, food is still delicious.

The only thing I will is that things I was lukewarm about before surgery I hate now. That I think comes from just having so little room for food, things I don't like really seem like a waste now.

Also if you don't have sugar for a really long time. When sugar hits you in something it's a huge shock surprise. I got a salad from the deli. I asked several times if it had sugar, I was assured it did not. Took a bite and I was like OMG Sugar!!!!!!!!

food .... oh food ...

*sigh*

Before surgery ... I was the sugar queen ... seriously .... I'd rather eat cake for dinner than real food ...

obviously now ... can't eat that ...

so I eat other things that are better for me ...

cant really say anything is "satisfying" ... it's just fuel now ...

My head still "thinks" about bad things ... but those thoughts don't turn into cravings ...

I honestly don't crave sugar anymore ... and THAT is a blessing for sure ...

I was scared that I'd stlll want cake, brownies etc ... but I don't ... :)

When I was 1st allowed solid food ... things did taste a bit different ...

but since I'm 7 1/2 months out now ... things are back to normal ...

I'm loving the new life!

Mine haven't changed yet, you'll probably still like the same foods. At least if you're barbecuing brisket and ribs, you'll be getting lots of protein!

True lots of protein!! Lol I'm sure my family will love it when I BBQ now, they'll get a lot more!!

Things were "off" for a few months but returned to normal pretty quickly. I CAN say I've become a choosy eater. Choosy because I'm only going to get a little and I want quality now! Choosy because if I overdo it on fat I feel like crap. Tolerate all things fine in small doses. Just have to keep it balanced.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
