Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I'm not HUNGRY, but I am getting a little BORED...



Recommended Posts

I DID get the go ahead to move forward a little yesterday when I called to make post-op check up! So I had some bean Soup last night, but had my first -- ALMOST -- golf ball today trying to eat some grits. Got in too big of a hurry cause they were SOOO good. Had to lift my hands over my head and pray for a few moments!

When I need to slow down, I turn my spoon over and my "bites" turn to licks. I'm venturing out to the store today to examine everything on the soup aisle that might be good blended.

btw -- what do you have against frogs??

;)

Right there with you again. :phanvan I ate a bowl of cheese soup today. (An old fav from my days in Wisconsin.) About an hour later I took the dog to the dog park when my .... ummm.... Lower digestive tract ... decided that I had not had anything that thick or fatty in weeks.;) And of course there is no bathroom at the dog park. I barely made it home in time. Very scary and I still feel sick. :sick

As for the name, it's because I am mad (as in crazy) about frogs, not mad (as in angry) at frogs. I love 'em. I have them all over my house. I even have a French Bulldog which are often called Frog Dogs because they look like frogs/toads.

the mad frog lady.

LOL

I was teasing you about the name. I knew what you meant because my oldest daughter has been "mad" about frogs for a long time!

I was banded on Tuesday Aug 21 so I am only 3 days out. For 2 days I had liquids I could read a newpaper through, but on day 3 (today) I went to liquids you could get through a straw. Woo-Hoo I had some Tomato juice. Man it was like heaven. I have missed tomatoes for weeks and they one of my favorite foods. I also tried some Cream of Wheat thinned and it was not too bad either. I am also heading to the store to shop for Soup ideas. That potato/cheese sounds really good.

How are you ladies feeling? I have some pain, but nothing like I expected. I also have been burping alot. Unexpected large burps, is that normal?

Spedsqsalady---Glad you came through good; knew you would. Those tomatoes sound so good. For some reason, I had a strong craving for a Tomato. Probably a BLT!!!!!!!!! I will have my surgery tomorrow on the 27th. I will be so happy to graduate to cream of wheat!!! I never thought I would look forward to cream of wheat. Keep me posted as to how you are doing. You are a few days ahead of me on this journey.

        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
