I will have to keep that in mind for next time, it sounds like a great idea! I was working out everyday during the trip, so at least I have one thing still on track. Gotta get my head back into eating right going forward.

I had a call with my Nut today and have a slight game plan. I know that a lot of us slip up and I’m trying to work through that. Support group is a good idea too.

I am about 8 weeks post op and I have been struggling with making good eating choices this last week or so. I went on vacation and I feel like that really pushed me over the line. I ate a lot of things I know I shouldn’t over the course of the 5 days with the excuse that it was just this week but now I’m afraid of not being able to stop. I need some encouragement and tips on how to vacation without over eating and feel like I’m losing out. FOMO hardcore right now.

I am a little over a week from surgery and everything has been going great. Been managing between 45 and 65 oz of water, hitting my protein goals, and feeling great. Even had a one week check up yesterday and everything was perfect, until this morning when I took my vitamin and promptly got very over heated and threw up. Is this normal?

“Yes, it is good I no longer have the urge to engulf food like an ameoba on amphetamines” I connect with this phrase on a spiritual level. You really put to words exactly what I am feeling. I feel great but eating is a struggle and one I know I need to overcome because I need to eat to survive and thrive. I am happy to not be the only one struggling with this but of course unhappy that any of us are.

I had my VSG on 5/9/18 and I feel great physically. I was walking right away and have no problem with drinking. My doctor advances all his patients to stage 2: purée diet right in the hospital, so I am eating some soft foods, However, eating anything feels like such a chore. As a result I am struggling with getting my protein in. Eating is unenjoyable to me and a struggle. I guess this is food aversion? I have never felt this way about food before and just wanna know approximately when this stage ends lol!

It’s great that you are feeling so good! I had my surgery 5/9, I left the hospital the same weight I went in. I’m down two pounds as of now. I’m so nervous about eating and drinking still though. I’m drinking and been feeling fine but I’m paranoid lol. The only real negative is I’m slightly nauseous.

I had my surgery 5/9. I’m on stage 2 diet already because my surgeon does that for most of his sleeve patients the day after surgery. I started out with some jello and yogurt and now am eating part skim ricotta. What I’m struggling with now is that I don’t feel hunger or fullness and I am worried about overeating.

Sleeve

I had the single incision done like 12 hours ago. It is sore but not to terrible. I didn’t even realize that’s what I was having done because last I talked to my surgeon, I had not lost enough weight for it. I lost enough though during my liquid diet to do it

I’m so nervous about the food after. I cannot wait but also am scared to eat!

I lost 10 pounds in the first week and have lost nothing since. Don’t stress it. Your body just got used to the liquid only life and adjusted itself accordingly!

I’m two days pre-op and I am feeling crazy nervous right now. I have been good so far but every time someone asks me if I’m ready and tells me it’s life changing, I feel like I want to vomit.

Thanks all! I bough some airborne and am much more relaxed!!

I am so nervous about everything leading up to the surgery but now I am worried about getting a cold on top of everything else. I baby sat my nephew this weekend and my sister neglected to tell me that he had a cold. I didn't realize until he woke up from his nap and it was too late. Now I am not feeling well. My surgery is in a week and I am freaking out that it will be cancelled if I am sick. Does anyone know any good tips for how to fight off a cold quickly?
