misslady reacted to PdxMan in all you can eat crab legs!
Don't worry. Not that unusual. We call them food funerals. Part of the process for some.

misslady reacted to notmeanymore in all you can eat crab legs!
While it is not recommended at ALL...I had a food funeral myself. As much as you educate yourself about what youll be able to eat after surgery, somewhere in some of our brains we think we will never have delicious food again and its simply not true. Pre-surgery I had a piece of my favorite pizza, had ribs, lobster, crab, wings, sushi, etc. Post surgery I have had lobster (a very small tail), crab (only a couple ounces cause I fill up so fast), ribs (can only eat 1 and Im stuffed lol), wings (can only eat 1 1/2 or 2 if they are small), sushi (can only eat 3 little rolls), etc. I still get to enjoy my favorites but my main concern now is Protein. And...Im a cheap date now so there's that lol. I love my sleeve, I love my restriction and I love that my clothes are wayyyy too big for me now.

misslady reacted to atPeace55 in Did you keep your surgery a secret?
Pretty much the same as everyone above mentioned I told my husband first and he knew I had been researching for a year then when I knew I was close to getting a date for surgery I told my family and a couple of very close friends. I didn't tell my job and my NP told me I didn't need to just to let them know that I have a major surgery that I will be undergoing and that I would be out for a few weeks for recovery. I also should mention that I work from home so know one from work would see my transformation so it was really of issue of having to come out and explain.
Good luck with starting your journey!!
