Ajack, I broilled a couple of nice steaks for dinner last night. Of course, One steak would have been enough for DH and me... but leftover steak salad is quite yummy....

There might be something you won't eat again, but then again, there might not be.

I don't eat fried egg sandwiches anymore. Not because I can't tolerate the sandwich, but because part of the whole fried egg sandwich is the glass of milk that goes along with the sandwich. I really work at not eating and drinking. So... it's not that I can't have the sandwich, I choose not to have it.

Thanks all,,, Yeah I guess it is the last supper syndrome, just stuff that I know I shouldnt eat afterwards,,, I have 2 weeks of Optifast pre surgery, 2 weeks of Clear liquids after, then 2 weeks of full liquids, then the mushies for 2 weeks

I know I will be able to eat again some day, but these are things I really want to try and stay away from....afterwards, I will show them how compliant I can and will be,,lol..

I am just sooooo excited.... also that I told them as soon as Dr R says yes he will do my surgery that I was approved and that is what my nurse case manager said also, she told them today... And she told me that I was one of the easiest cases she has ever done since I had everything done for her already, What an easy peasy process it was, Thank God for that one..

Woo WHooo, I am comin loserville....

      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.
