YEP! THIS FORUM!!! HAH

Awesome! Jealous!!!

Idk about the graham crackers but my nut says yes to pb

OMG! Paahahahha you're killing me!!

Y'all are making me sad:( I guess what I do is think about the reasons WHY I opted for VSG and it kinda keeps me in check...I'm a southern gal from Louisiana and trust me, we LOVE our food down here!! It's been tough BUT...I'm already down my pre-diabetic med and hopefully my BP med is next. I DO have those times that y'all are talking about too, but you just gotta think on the GOOD things we will get outta this...VST has been my lifeline since surgery...I think we are all here with the same purpose - to help one another, learn new things about VSG, and talk to other people who understand what we are going through, etc... I hope alla my ramblings will help at least someone. Good luck to you all:)

YAAY!! Congrats

Aww babe, I'm so sorry to read this...and I understand completely! I felt the same way, actually still so at times. It is the hardest "diet" I've ever done...it plays with your mind...or mine at least. When I'm "starving" and I can only eat 3-5 bites it's so frustrating. BUT...it gets better, I don't feel as bad as I did at first. Just try not to dwell on the sad/bad and enjoy it when your clothes get looser and the numbers on the scale moves down. Good luck:)

I ate a Reese's peanut butter cup...URGH! Not good of me...but it was SOOOOOO good

I am NOT doing SF for the rest of my life!! It's bad for your body and doesn't taste near as good as regular however, I will make better choices

Sure thing:)

Gamer, Have you tried these with any other meats?? Tuna, shrimp, etc??

My cuts were straight incisions...and no where near my belly button. Glad it's gettin better

I had six as well...but they are very small and it didn't bother me

I promise once you move to solids you WILL feel the difference

I know you are all vets, but it's nice to see that I will have a place to come back to if I need it later on...So thank you, all of you

Apparently it SHOULD be!

AWESOME!!! How exciting for you!

A good friend of mine is 4 years post op...she said it's normal and it grows back:)

Have you tried to drink a cup? Everyone's sleeve is a different size...just like their stomachs were before. I have a feeling if you tried to drink a whole cup, you probably couldn't handle it. I am 4 weeks out and can't drink that much at one time.

I think it's a bit early...but I DO understand the need for salt!!!
