Hi everyone,

Feel like I had a tiny victory today. I went to my first restaurant post surgery. It was a Mexican restaurant, which prior to surgery was my definition of heaven....Chips, salsa and margaritas!!! Mmmmm

Anyway, I sat in front of the basket of chips & salsa and it wasn't as difficult as I would have expected. I did eat ONE chip, ever so slowly, broken up multiple times, chewed what felt like a million.

I felt kinda silly only ordering a side of refried Beans and a Water, but it worked. I was even able to mix in a little salsa w/o any issues (I'm 11 days post op). I was happy about that because like I said, I have a weakness for salsa.

So yeah, that is it. I took the rest of the Beans home and have enough for dinner.

Total damage: $3.99. I'm officially the cheapest date ever!! ❤️

21 pounds down!!

we went out to Longhorn Steakhouse today for my birthday. I had the flat Iron steak and asparagus. Ate one of the french fries, gave the rest to David and have plenty of steak and veg for work tomorrow. :-) I am 2 1/2 months out. Felt good to go out and enjoy the day. it was my first time eating out also.

      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. 🤞
