I am not really physically hungry I am just really head hungry! :hungry: I have been bored and have wanted everything in my fridge AND freezer!!! :eek: So, this is to all the people who are sick and tired of being stuck in Banster hell waiting for their fill to hurry up and get here!!! :heh: I just neede to complain and this is the place where everyone can relate and understand my frustrations like no one else can!

I'm almost three weeks out 9/25 will be three weeks. My post-op was only a week of full liquids, 1 week mushies, 1 week soft. Even on soft foods where you can eat most anything as long as its the right consistency its so boring and my hunger is back with a vengence. Today my daughter and I shared some fat-free no sugar added, strawberry frozen yogurt with some granola in it and I swear it was the best thing I have put in my mouth in a over a month. I get filled on 10/9 and I CANNOT wait. 2 weeks and 3 days! I know you are all feeling. Good luck till your 1st fill!

Hang in there it gets much better. I was banded on Aug 24th and have lost a total of 42 lbs since then. I just started eating chicken and tuna last Friday. The key during the mushie stage is to find something that you like and be creative. I loved taking meatless spagetti sauce and adding riocotto cheese to it. Another thing I enjoyed was steaming some brocolli and cauliflower throwing it in my magic bullet (which is the best thing ever) and adding a little Cambell's chedder chez Soup to it!

The one thing that I try to tell myself is that nothing tastes as good as being thin will feel!!!

Have a great day!

      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. 🤞
