I had the VSG on June 29th my problem is I am starving mentally. I have chewed a couple things up then spit it out just to get the flavor. Ugh..... when will I be able to eat? How long before I don't feel these crazy cravings and one of the cravings was pickles I never really been a fan why now? I'm also feeling a bit depresed.

Ditto over here. I'm also feeling kind of depressed and I chewed stuff too to have a different taste in my mouth other then Jello and broth. My Dr says that I'd have to wait till my 3rd month post op to be able to eat regular foods but I just don't knw if I will

Make it there

I'm on liquids still. But I do chew stuff up and spit them back out. I've also had some of my kids Cereal ( 2-3 teaspoons full) and felt kinda full to tell I the truth. And it did take that jittery, weak, dizzy feeling I was experiencing at the time.

I went to my dr for my week follow up and he sent me liquid Protein to take 3x's a day. It's helped with that almost faint feeling but not with the hunger. I don't really know what to do anymore. I'm literally hungry every hour.

I've gone on YouTube and I read on other places that I'm not an alien from outer space and that I'm not the only one feeling like this. I just don't wanna fall into a depression stage cause I'm kinda prone to that. I'm thinking of calling to follow up with my nutritionist and see what she can help

With.

Yes I am prone to depression, and anxiety as well I am so glad I'm not alone I swear I cook for the family and I'm almost angry that they can eat and I can't lol I know it's not their fault and I don't show them how I feel but I do think it!

Yup. Totally understand what that feels like not only at home but at work as well since I do manage a cafeteria to top it off. I'm just so annoyed and I feel a bit of regret at times too.

I'm sorry you are both struggling with these issues post-op. I really want to encourage you to reach out to your respective health care teams for help in dealing with the physical and emotional stresses of adapting to life post-surgery. I know chewing and spitting seems harmless, but it is recognized as a form of disordered eating, and it is how many bulimics get started. Please don't head down that road! It can also mess up your metabolism. Best wishes to both of you going forward.

We are surgery sisters! You are not the only one to feel that way. I cant stand the liquid diet. Soup and Jello and pudding...ugh! Protein shakes are the highlight of my day. I get to start soft Protein tomorrow.

I soo feel left out with everyone talking about these Protein shakes. post-295739-14677635401433_thumb.jpg post-295739-14677635668765_thumb.jpg

This is what my Protein consists of. 3 x's a day. Even though it hasn't done squat for my feeling hungry it has been good for the weakness,nausea, sleepiness and lightheadedness that I was experiencing after getting out of the hospital

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
