Ok so I feel like I've cheated and regret it terribly. I want to know your thoughts and if anyone has felt the same and maybe give me tips to not doing this again.

So my short story is that today I felt so hungry I felt I could eat a whole cow. It doesn't help that I cook bfast and dinner for my 5 children 6 including the hub haha and I sit not knowING what to eat. So today for bfast I made eggs, sausage, toast and refried Beans. I did not cheat. Seriously I had nothing. Then I took the kids to daycare minus my teen and we went off to Walmart to purchase a dewarmer for my pup. She said mom can u take me to sonic to get a free slush with my app, I said sure why not. Well I ended up getting a free one too I drank it all a lemon slush ???? I'm not proud of it but I have to be completely honest. Ugh I'm so mad at my self. Beleive me tho I paid for it badly I had to rush home to use the RR I had a terrible case of, well I leave that to the imagination. Then we got home I made dinner and I was still super super hungry so I made me Malt O Meal. A very watery one, I'm not sure if that's good or bad?? Lastly I had about 6 cheese its the small crackers I chewed them well until they were practically pureed in my mouth but still it was wrong. I'm so dissapointed in myself knowing I struggled to pay for this surgery because my insurance would not pay for it. ???? I was just so freaking hungry and couldn't find a way to suppress my appetite.

You need to get your mind in the right place to do this and be successful. You are risking significant complications from eating anything not on your plan. Your stomach is being held together with surgical staples and needs time to heal. Please don't continue to risk hurting yourself - not to mention you need to use this time to learn how to eat in order to be successful.

You were hungry 6 days post op? I'm 10 days post op and never feel "hungry" sometimes I get hunger pangs from an empty tummy, but I have no desire to eat.. I can only eat about 2 oz of puréed Soup - very, thin. I found out the hard way I can't handle anything thick yet.

Yes. I feel so so hungry. Today is my 6th day post op. I had the lap band prior and I guess I have the same restriction I don't know.

Are you taking an acid reducer? It's more likely acid or head hunger. If you're "hungry" - have something from your plan.

I do. I take Omeprazole twice a day. I don't want to do it but today it was like I had a break down.

on my plan I could have grits or malto meal on purees, not sure if you are at that stage.

I think the slushie is the worst thing you had because it just sugar Water. It is also the kind of thing you can always have easily.

When you actually start on soft foods, they will be hard to eat, but slushies and stuff will always be easy.

A lot of people that fail at surgery, chose these kinds of easy foods. One slushy while eating good the rest of the day can ruin everything.

This was one day though, and you can't fix the past, just don't do it again.

      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.
