Okay... all kidding aside. I learned something today.

I learned what true restriction feels like. WOW!

I have mentioned that today was my first day of solids since my revision to a sleeve. Before today I have never eaten solids with actual restriction. I am the person that has no sweet spot. I have had countless fills and unfills. I am either wide open or I can't swallow my own spit.

Today I decided I was going to eat until my staples busted, I figured if they busted that's okay, I can eat more. ;o)

Holy crap! It took me 2 hours to eat one chicken leg. I kept looking at KittenQutie (fellow WLS person who made the chicken) and saying, "Damn! So THIS is restriction!"

Took two hours to eat a chicken leg as after two bites I was stuffed. I'd go out for a walk, pace across the living room waiting for my stomach to empty then I'd eat two more bites.

This freak'en journey would have been WAY easier with actual restriction!

I also ate about 4 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and 2 tablespoons of baked Beans. That took an additional 30 minutes. So that's what I ate over 2.5 hours.

I finally had solids for the first time in FOUR (count 'em! 4~) months. I have never had food with true restriction before. What an eye opener... damn!

I had a #2 tub of dry roasted peanuts and chased them with 6 pitchers of beer {burp}

That's a real burp not a PB, right? Because food never gives ANYONE pb's! Food en masse goes down smoooooth from what I understand!

I am sleeved, I have a wider range of food choices than you "banded" folks. (pointing and giggling)

heh....

Remember, I am the one that had a revision and some folks can do fried chicken and some can't.

Try everything once you get to solids, that is the only way you will know what you tolerate and what you do not. Everything in moderation except your trigger foods.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
