Great! That has been my problem all my life. I would “mess” up one day and spend the next three months punishing myself gaining more weight. My roommate size 4, body fat 11. She pigs out like no one business but the next day she is back to normal. That is something I’ve never had but that is the difference between her and me. Having this surgery has taken the hunger away thank goodness. I love how we can all share on Here. I’m surrounded by in shape people so of course they can’t even imagine what I’m going thru nor would I care to share lol.
I had a bit of the banana pudding dessert yesterday, but didn’t touch it today. I just recalled how cloyingly sweet it was and that helped stop any temptation I may have had!

Any time I wanted to snack today, I grabbed a cuppa coffee to keep it at bay. I really enjoy a hot cup with a spot of nutmilk in it, so it still feels like an indulgence. Gotta scale back my caffeine intake when I get back to my real life on Monday. 😂

I can totally relate to that! I've noticed some new changes in me since having surgery (7/31), in the last couple of weeks I've noticed that I don't want to overeat. I did once and almost but didn't get sick. It was not a good feeling and I didn't overeat on purpose. I've also noticed that food doesn't give me the same level of satisfaction as it has in the past. In a way, that's sad...hahaha. But really, I'm happy about that. I still get this head hunger sometimes and just want snacky stuff. I have to figure a way to deal with that but I do allow myself a handful of nuts or a few oatsquares.

      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.
