Recommended Posts

I'll be 4 weeks post op but hope to have a sprout! Love them and a bit of roast parsnip, I'm vegetarian too, haven't decided on our main yet. Just made the mince pies and some shortbread, they're smelling amazing!

We have a family tradition of Fonduing in hot peanut oil. We fondue everything from steak to mushrooms, breaded cauliflower, and tempura batter dipped prawns. But first and foremost is oyster stew before the fonduing begins! I will eat everything, just way smaller amount!

Have "road tested" a mini homemade pie which came out well.

Filo pastry filled with Chopped chestnut, Rosehip Jelly, Stilton and with a sage and onion stuffing topping. Made in a muffin pan to hold the shape.

Will have it with roasted veg and gravy..

In our house it's going to be roast beef for Christmas Day. Neither of us (husband and I) are great turkey fans so we shall have some beautiful, if expensive Aberdeen Angus rib roast. I'll do all the trimmings-Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower and broccoli cheese, roast parsnips, roast spuds etc but I will be sticking with the meat and cheese sauce free veg whilst my naturally slender other half attacks the full monty. For the rest of the day and for Boxing Day I shall just do exactly as I did last year when I was two months post sleeve. A little bit of everything so that I didn't feel left out. It worked well for me. I shall also still be dragging the dogs out for their usual five mile walk every morning of the holiday. I may however, have to indulge, just a little, in a few Haribro jelly babies. A girl can't turn into a saint after all!!! Merry Christmas to you all x

Glad everyone had some nice plans and I hope it went better than mine........ :)

Ended up in hospital on the 19th with kidney stones. Emergency operation on on the 23rd, sent home on 24th with festive pain killers and antibiotics and still feeling rubbish.

Christmas dinner was a few spoons of porridge and the half glass of red wine became 3 pints of Water throughout the day...

Oh well, will try again next year lol

      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
