3 Days out I realllllly felt like nachos for some reason lol, now all I actually feel like is a chicken sandwich lol. As for things I'll miss - spaghetti, I'm italian, I love it. Risotto. Fried Rice. As for mcdonalds - it'll always be a fav but my sister works at mcdonalds and told me that if I want a cheese burger just wait til she finishes and she'll make it for me lol - dunno whether I'll be able to eat it but oh well. She said she'll just grill the bun heaps and add heaps of ketchup lol, I love her. But even then I'll probably only be able to manage half of it.

It's o.k... The moron, I am, Went to my fav deli yesterday for the best consumme on the east coast.. 1st time I ever went in there and didn't buy the best pickles on the east coast.... Hubby went to BK last night, So as*hole me, decided I can chew the pickles from his burger to get the flavor and then spit it out.... Well out of reflex, I swollowed a nano-chunk and had hell to pay alll night. So, my advice, FIGHT IT! just close your eyes and pretend. The pain is not worth it!

I'm 4 days post-op and decided to visit the "confessional" (like on reality tv shows?) again.

I'm not struggling or feeling desperate or hungry, but I had a wistful thought today and briefly mourned my ability to eat frosted strawberry pop tarts.... and cinnamon/sugar Auntie Anne pretzels with cream cheese dipping sauce.

You will be able to eat a quarter of a toasted pop-tart in a few weeks, as for the pretzel.... yeah thats a tuffy. BUT My sister who is the weight watchers goddess, has a recipe for cream cheese dipping sauce thats got like 1 gram of fat & no sugar!! and you can not tell the difference! so when I have the strength (as in major food weakness to overcome) to get that recipe I'll share it

I'm a comfort food type of gal. Deserts don't bother me at all. My number one food that I will miss is mac n' cheese. I hope I will eventually be able to enjoy it in extreme moderation. Number 2 missed food will be Friday night pizza.

Did someone say we can't have spicy???? Say it isn't so. I love hot sauce on just about everything. I will miss that severly if I'm not able to have it!!

      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.
