5 days out and eating everything. I just cant.

Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

I just saw that post and was going to ask if it was a joke. It's got to be a joke, right? I think there are a bunch of surgeons out there who need to do a better job screening their patients, because clearly the message is not getting through. Either that, or there are doctors out there who have no regard for their patients and are doing a half-assed job of preparing people for life after surgery. chicken 5 days post op. . . . I just can't . . .

I agree. My doctor sent me home with the post-op diet sheet and at the top it basically says "follow this diet or you could die!" In bold letters

It's insanity. I've got someone telling ME I've got to do better at telling it like it is instead of coddling.

Because y'all know how much I coddle.

I really wish you'd stop being such a softy ????????

Now that's funny! I like your doctor.

I gotta say, the craziest scenario I've seen on here so far is the gal that weighs 115 pounds, but wants WLS to "cure" her BED. Not only did she find a surgeon (in another country) to do the surgery and has a mother with unlimited financial backing, people on here continue to enable her! This poor girl is not getting the help she really needs and is likely going to end up seriously ill WITH THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF BP MEMBERS!!!

I'm just lurking and reading - don't mind me!

@@LipstickLady - my roommate brought home popcorn... and not just any popcorn, buttered hull less! *sighs* I only had one piece and honestly... not as good as I remember, and I'm good - I still have a bag of unpopped popcorn sitting in my desk drawer at work... since before surgery - and I haven't touched it!

*goes back to lurking and reading*

I missed the Swedish fish post apparently

Trying to figure out why I didn't have to ask the great Vets here what to eat or not eat. I never once ate CARP.

      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. 🤞
