Between dense Protein. I am pretty unique on the forum based on most posts I read for eating like this, but it works for me. I also don't eat with other people that often since I live alone, so here is no one commenting on the fact I am just eating a pork chop

A bit harsh, yeah?

Honestly, can sometimes come across like that, especially in a chat forum where only "typing" is involved. I know, for myself, things have been taken the wrong way, when, I only meant to help.

Anyone posting in this forum means only to 'help', imho. Hope that helps.

We are not able to control what happens to us in life. So, I always try to start with what I can control. I can control what I put into my body. I can control my activities. So, go back to the basics with the food. See a nutritionist and have them help. Start walking or continue your exercise program. Therapy isn't out of the question. I was an emotional eater before. Luckily, I have found that since surgery food really isn't a comfort for me. I still enjoy it, but not the soul comfort it once was. If you think you can be helped by therapy, then by all means, do it.

Losing loved ones, a job, etc. is extremely tough. You sometimes can only take one day at a time, or even one moment at a time.

      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. 🤞
