@@Elode that cold plate looks yummy too. I kinda do the same thing just in portioned out containers. I have to or I won't stop at a slice of cheese or a 1/2 ounce of pork rinds...it's all weighed or portioned out.

Y'all are making me very impatient to get to the place where my sleeve will tolerate raw veg and fruit, as well as to the place where I could eat more than 1/4 of the teeny plate.

@@2goldengirl You'll get there and then you'll have the grand opportunity to worry about getting fat again. Enjoy the small portions now!

@@Elode - how much can you eat of dense food? A cup? I am curious you are ahead of me by a few months surgery-wise and I know I can eat a full cup (sometimes) depending on the food. Can you give me an example?

How are the "girls" looking size wise? I have REALLY thought about your recent "do" and I am thinking about it. Did BCBS Fed cover it?

@@jane13 dense food like chicken I can't do much of maybe 1/2 cup or couple ounces. It's hard on my stomach. Salads and light foods I can do well with. The girls are perfect! I haven't wore a real bra yet shit in the compression bra but I'd say 32 c. No none of my plastic were covered.

<p>@@Elode Ok. Then I am eating about the same as you are, but some days the carb monster takes over and its like PMS munchies all freakin' day.<br />

So no implants at all? Just a reduction/lift?<br />

<br />

My GF did BA about 15 yrs ago (post WLS) and they put in small implants to keep the girls 'perky' longer.<br />

<br />

I am not looking for forever perky, just not:<br /><br />

<br />

UU<br />

<br />

As little as you are now, and from what I can tell in the pictures pre-op BA, a 32C is probably perfect - you LUCKY girl!</p>

Looks fab! Though at only 7 weeks out, it would take me all day to eat one of those salmon boxes.

@@Elode

It's almost like 'broccoli lite'...

It's not as coarse or as strong flavoured as broccoli...

I'll try to post a pic when I get home tonite...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
