Six weeks post sleeve I chewed a very small soft piece of crockpot chicken breast. It stuck in my chest. I ran through my house unable to tell my husband to call rescue because I could not breathe. You can bet that never happened AGAIN! I took every precaution and had been approved for that chicken in my food plan. I stuck to Soups, broths, shakes, cottage cheese, etc, until my NUT at three months declared I should eat salads. The fear was REAL.

That's scary!!

I wonder what happens to people who eat pizza or a burger the day after. Their stomach is gone - so how do they get back straight? I know it's horribly dangerous. Wonder what their final outcomes are.

I'm 23 months out. I can eat one whole slice. But thats it. One. Nothing else fits.

I eat anything but rice, very minimal bread, no fibrous veggies. But ive had half a double cheese burger, or one slice of pizza. Im 23 mths out. Its ok just as you know you need to continue to exercise. Its a total lifestyle change. But you will eat portions of a kid for the rest of your life.

Like many have posted, please just stop and remind yourself why you put yourself through this surgery! My saving grace was pea Soup, you will find what you like, just remember to stick the guidelines they gave you I know it's hard but I know you can do it! I hope you're feeling better I'm so glad you reached out! I'm 5 months out but I still remind myself everyday why I did this, watching those numbers go down really helps too!

      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. 🤞
