Girly, when I woke up this morning I finally had a sense of accomplishment. I didn't feel so lost and adrift. I am so happy to begin working with my own body to get to live a full life again! Sheesh, it was really getting to me! Thanks so much for all your support. I appreciate it so much.

I totally understand because I felt the exact same way as you, you're going to do great!! message me or inbox me anytime, I'm just about 2.5 months out so I'm still new to the process and learning my body too, we can help and encourage each other 😉

Ok so I am officially on pureed foods as of today. I was burned out on creamed Soups for sure and the one lil cheat I had when I nibbled a cookie Saturday showed me that sugar tastes like crap now... so lesson learned.

So today I had....2oz of cottage cheese which was quite tasty and I wanted to eat more but nothing else was fitting in my new tummy. Then I had a scrambled egg with cheese on it, was right at 2oz there too and even yummier than the cottage cheese. And then I had spiced up tuna and mayo. The clouds parted and the angels sang! My tummy and mouth are happier than they have been in soooooo long.

Heh, who knew tuna with mayo was so good.

Tuna with mayo was the very first "real" food I had after the liquid/puree stage. I got one morsel into my mouth and started sobbing. My husband thought I was in pain but I just couldn't wrap my head around how magical it was to taste something flavorful that I could chew.

Hee hee, yes! You totally understand the nirvana that happened in my mouth at that moment! It was amazing!

Yes! The ricotta bake is soooooo good! I have done egg salad and refried Beans with cheddar and sour cream and chili (bean not meat) pureed and it's just made a world of difference in how I feel emotionally even.

@FlyAwayFree iv done egg slad too but still have a hard time with refried Beans :( wish i could eat them bc it tastes so good.

I put a small dollop of sour cream in them and it helped to thin them enough that they weren't hard to get down for me. But I seem to be doing super well with things physically now so I hope you are able to have the same luck soon!

      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.
