Okay folks.. I have had nothing but Clear Liquids for 19 days!!! 19 Days!!! Now as of today I get to have soft/mushy... My mashed potatoes I had for lunch today were the best thing, I think I have ever tasted. :tongue_smilie: Granted it took me 40 minutes to eat 1/2 a cup but I don't care. They were so good. I was terribly nervous to eat anything because I didn't know how it was going to feel. I took the first bit and I thought it was small, then I waited for a second. I felt a little bubble in the back of my throat and then it went away. That happened after almost every bit. Needless to say I was very aware of my bit size and my consistancy before swallowing. I never thought I would be nervous to eat but I really was. Any one else experience that? Tonight I think I will try cottage cheese and maybe some more mashed potatoes but I haven't decided.. Anything but clear liquids is on the menu that is for sure!!!!

I was totally the same way! Afraid to start eating. I think I had scrambled eggs first, and I vowed to marry them! My friend joked that we should draw a tuxedo on a little egg and have a ceremony. Now when I try something new she accuses me of cheating on my egg husband! Lentils are good, any bean. I was slightly lactose intolerant before surgery and apparently, I am really lactose intolerant after, so yogurt and cottage cheese are out. Savor the mushies... I agree, nothing had ever tasted so good in my life!

Success to all!

      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. 🤞
