July 4th weekend so hard



Recommended Posts

5 days post op and I have to say it was so hard to be around so much food and not being able to eat any. I wanted some food so bad but I put my big girl panties on and sucked it up.

Same here! I'm 4 days post op and this weekend has been torture. A lot of people say they don't feel hungry after the surgery so I wasn't anticipating it being this tough but I'm starving! Hoping next week will be a little easier.

I'm also 4 days post op and watching everyone around me just chowing down while I sip my broth. But hey, that's ok, it's my cross to bear so I'm toughing it out. I just keep telling myself that with each tummy pain that it's just more fat my body is getting rid of!

I have been ok for the most part. I'm 3 days post op. I have these off and on belly pains gas? Rumblings. that make it hard to want food. However being around all the food the ribs, the brown sugar baked Beans, the hot dogs the ice cold apple cider gives me a tiny pinch of sadness. But i know this time next year I will be quite fabulous so it's worth it.

      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.
