I am starving, I need help......



Recommended Posts

The first few days are the hardest. Today was day 4 and it was a bit easier today than the last few days have been. I am allowed lowfat yogurt and cottage cheese, I hate yogurt and I am living on it right now. Maybe I will even check out cottage cheese. Anything is better than broth and sugar free drinks. ~Mandy

jqpublic, thanks for the encouraging words, it really means a lot.

I am sooo glad to be here and have my LBT family for support. My husband has been wonderful, but you guys know what I am going through. Today is day 5 and I am doping much better. While my family had dinner I took a bath with some really strong scented bath salts, it covered the smell of the food really well. For the next few days I have a really full schedual and I think that if I stay busy I will be fine. I only have 5 more days to go (not counting today). My mom came to the rescue and found sugarfree popsicles for me and they have been a lifesaver. I also discovered that if you freeze yogurt and then stick it in the blender it kinda taste like ice cream (yum!) My family says they are going to take stock in gatorade because I am living on propel, everytime they see me I have one in hand. I love the melon!!! I found it at Meijers (it said "new flavor"). Again thanks to everyone for the encouragement. ~Mandy

      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. 🤞
