It is normal. It will pass.

You may especially feel regret if you were an emotional eater, as physically at this point you are likely not able to do this.

I had a little phase where I seemed to cry really easily.

In a few weeks you’ll feel great.

Thank you I hope so do you still get to enjoy foods at time ?

Sure. I still get hungry and I do enjoy eating but it is not the same. I used to spend lots of time wondering about what I was going to eat, planning my Snacks, shopping for junk food, etc. Now I do not.

I do on rare occasion eat small amounts of homemade goods like cakes or baked items, which has always been a favorite of mine. But I don’t buy ready made items like that anymore because it’s not worth it and it doesn’t taste good enough now. I eat out every now and then but choose mostly sensible items.

I think once you start losing weight and you lose a good bit you find other things to enjoy than food. Your surgery may change your tastes a bit too so that helps as well.

I understand. I love that I’ve lost over 100lbs. I still know that this is one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. Just take it one day at a time. You’ll feel better

      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
