Hey Guys!!



Recommended Posts

I'm just a little over two weeks post op and I sure hope and pray that wild game is not hard to eat. I shot my deer this year ( four point mulie, western count) and still have elk and bison in the freezer from last year. Probably 90% or more of the red meat my family eats is wild game. Has been that way for years. That's the way it was for me growing up also. (I'm 52 yo now). Plus I've lost 55 lbs since I started the pre op diet up to now. I weighed 376 lbs at my initial appointment and I now weigh 321 lbs. I've only got another 90 lbs to lose. I'm telling you, this is the very best thing that I have ever done for myself. Finding this forum has also been a great help.

Merry Christmas you bunch of yay whoos!!! I love this site!!:scared2::biggrin:

I am glad someone asked about deer meat. I have been hesitant to try it since surgery. I have eaten steak with no problem but chicken sometimes is hard to get down.

I have found that if I can chew the meat to a liquid in about 25 bites then I usually do not have a problem.

If I can not chew it to a liquid in 25 bites then I stay away from it.

I have eaten duck, elk, deer, caribou, Buffalo, squid, chicken, pork, cornish game hen, calamari and all kinds of fish.

      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. 🤞
