I'm not mad...... i was just trying to figure out what I was doing wrong this past week and I guess I answered my own question.

I eat alot of veggies.... I don't really eat much of potatoes anymore.... if I do it is very little. Yesterday was just a potato day for me....

I think i'm just going to get the cold cuts and try that with cheese.... i'm burnt out on eggs but I guess I should try that also...maybe do oatmeal for breakfast.....

I stay so busy it's hard for me to get all that together each day and do it everyday.... but, I gotta make time.

I saw this link in a post yesterday that I think does a great job of not only giving advice on what to do after you first get the band, but also gives sample menus during each of the stages after the band.

Maybe it might help you. The info starts on pg 83.

P.S. I'm not banded yet, waiting for my consult next week, but I read these boards for encouragement and advice.

I wish you luck with your weight loss journey!

I'm not mad either! Many of us have told you what works for us and you just seem to have an excuse for not doing any of it.

I want to help people who really want help that's all.

I am only 2 weeks out - but my plan once i am on regular food is to follow a low carb high Protein diet - I lost well on Atkins quite a few years ago so im planning on something similar but not so strict,, south beach type maybe...

that is a really good menu. Anyone have any others?

I noticed on that menu the foods to avoid... nuts is one (which someone told me nuts were good).....

I'm going to start cracking down on my food.

Thanks everyone

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
