I Want to CHEAT and Think I Will



Recommended Posts

I had a rant I was gonna post about how you shouldn't do it Tom... Then I found your post about waking up, feeling better, and Being 3 lbs lighter.

Congrats on the 3lbs you lost! I have one more appt on 4/2 then I wait to hear from the insurance and then start my liquid diet... I am making it a positive thing. I want to be able to jump start the loss before the band... that gives you motivation going into the surgery. Each time you're tempted just think of how bad you wanted the band and what great benefits this new found life will give you.

Hey--I'm right there with you! I started mine yesterday and you've made it longer than I did with wanting to cheat! I think I'm gonna have to start have a few noodles in my chicken broth because I just need a little substance! It's not so much the idea that I'm starving or craving--it's just that I WANT something other than liquid and jello!!!! I don't even know if I'm supposed to have Campbell's chicken noodle Soup broth because it's not truly just broth--but I hate just regular ol broth---but i figure it's better than burgers and fries--at least as far as the surgeon will be concerned. I'm waiting for my doctor's office to open so I can call them to ask. Anyway--write me any time if you're sufferin'--I'll suffer with you! When is your surgery? Mine is Thursday, the 20th!

hi tom- just a suggestion here... if you get the steak- just chew it and spit it out. it gets your craving taken care of without actually eating it. just an idea!

Thanks for the reply - I get my band on Tuesday 3/18 - can't wait - still holding strong with the liquid diet - but want real food so bad - try tomatoe Soup - its allowed with my doc - and it does help. will look for you in the post op forums! Best to you.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
