@@LipstickLady it was one poster, not original, that took this off track to viewing responsive advice as condemnation I hope you and @@Dub see that many of us (at least appear in responses and i can say I personally do) see you both as being heartfelt and helpful!

Now all of this talk of cheese its it challenging my will power and they were not my weakness!

I agree @@chycky It looks like only one poster got crabby when they really shouldn't have.....most all other responses seem to agree that Cheese-its are not the best choice.......but maybe I've missed something???

Well. I thought. I was clear. When I said "or at least I thought so". So just to be clear. Once again. I don't think that ERRBODY felt that the OP was being condemned. I THOUGHT SO. There were plenty of valid, heartfelt, sound nutritional advice being given by MANY. There were a few members who were sneak dissing in MY opinion. Again I've also made it clear that we all have different personalities and the delivery of some are just a little #Ididnaskyouforallthat to me. I respect the polite nudging of Veteran and Newbie members alike for the OP to refer to her NUT or offering other healthier alternatives. But some individuals throw obvious shade and honestly it makes ME uncomfortable. It makes ME not ever want to start topics on things I sincerely want to know about for fear of fire and brimstone. So I leave it up to others to be the sacrificial lamb.

And if I'm not mistaken... I don't think I was completely and utterly alone in my thinking despite the effort of some to convince others that it was one lone ranger who "got a little crabby".

Im the first to admit certain foods are bad news FOR ME. I know my triggers. Everybody's triggers are different. Some are sweets, some are fried, or carbs. I know carbs might slow down my weight loss but everyone is different so I try not to project my issues on others. People are going to do what they want.

Again I'm barely 1 month post OP so what do I really know? Really.

(((Sighs))) Moving on... ;-)

Oooooh chile... sips tea (unsweetened of course) I don't think anyone was DEFENDING Cheez-its, I guess some people feel like its not that deep. She just asked a question and the wrath of God was bestowed on her by some or at least I thought so. I should know because I myself have passed judgement ONCE about a woman and her bacon 3 days post op. I soooo regret that because none of us are perfect and it is a support forum not a nail em to the cross forum.

We come here to discuss things with a community of people with similar interests because these folks have been through it and we often share our experiences and opinions as I'm sure you already know. I don't know very many people in the real world (in my life) that have had WLS so some of us are quite new to this and are looking to discuss our questions and concerns with those who've gone through it. We're not looking to be coddle anyone but people don't want to feel condemned either.

As a NEWBIE, I find this site very helpful. There are some discussions that I don't agree with and some members that rub me the wrong way but I just move on...

Another newbie here, too. In the overall scheme of things we are all newbies, no ???

Your post made me laugh. Ooooohhhhhhh chile. Grinning hugely at that. Good stuff.

You are right.

No judging.....just a knee-jerk reaction to cheezits. It reminds me of when I quit smoking.......and my wife started smoking two days later.....wut ? Are ya shittin' me, woman ?????? True story. Bish tortured me that way.

Opening up a box of Cheezits would be just like that for me......torture.

OP may have much stronger resolve. I'm a weak mofo.

        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
