And this post is a perfect example that it’s actually snide and condescending comments like this from vets that show you actually don’t want people to succeed. It’s like you want to make them feel bad so they fair. Who’s fooled.

I think it’s sad to be on here acting the way so many vets do 4 years post op, like they’re life revolves around the surgery instead of food now. I adore the ones that come on to share posts and updates, but the ones that basically live on here - that’s just really sad.

Guess what Kate? You’ve just proved my point!

1) it was a bite
2) this post wasn’t about that
3) it did not cause damage


You and others on here are bullying people for being honest. I am 5 weeks post op now, and I am disgusted at the way some of you behave. If anything could have done damage to me it was the way you all treated me when I created that post at 2 weeks.

Why are you posting on my thread besides wanting to argue and be rude? Did you go through everything you did just so you could come on here and slam people early in their own journey or did you do it for you? What do you want?

Do you want me to say how amazing you are, that you’re so much better than everyone else on here? You’re not, and we will reach our goals too despite people like you trying to drag us when we slip up.

For God sake, do you have a life out of here? I’m proud of losing 20lbs in a month, considering I only have another 40lbs to get to my goal - so keep your negative judgment to yourself.

You have clearly come on here to keep criticising me about admitting I ate a bite of my kids pizza at 2 weeks, which is now 3 weeks ago and nothing to do with this post - so don’t you DARE come on here acting like anything you are posting is anything but a bullying attempt! All of the vets like you should just leave people alone - you are NOT surgeons, you are NOT nutritionists, and you are NOT better than anyone else! We all have our own journeys! We all got here our own ways. I put on weight during my second baby, other people it was a lifelong battle - but one thing is for sure - we don’t need being scolded by know-it-all vets so early in this life changing surgery!

I’m not a vet & I find it to be foolish. It’s everything we’re all warned against from the first meeting & by dietitians all the way through pre-op. I’m actually shocked at that kind of behavior 2 or even 4 weeks post-op. I’v personally made excuses for a very long time & that’s all they are is excuses. Why attack someone for making perfect sense. I’m committed to this surgery & after I have it I’m not making excuses anymore. I’m accepting that I have a problem & want to change. I’m not saying I will never eat a piece of pizza or a cheeseburger again but straight out of surgery having not even recovered yet & eating poorly & drinking just seems like sabotage. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone but that’s just the way I see it.

At the end of the day, if the original post would have been in the infamous “confessions” no one would have said anything!
Good grief SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️

Enjoy your babies and your new body. I have 3. Gained and lost 80 with all 3. Then gradually came back to gain 80 because of stress causing me to not care anymore about food coming into my body. Although I ate healthy- salads Protein healthy carbs- my portions were huge. ( plus had to go back to work full time for financial reasons- so no time to exercise like I used to. ) that’s how I gained weight. Gained weight. I also was never thin to begin with so before 80 pounds weight gain I was a Sz 12 looking voluptuous and quite happy- but at + 80 I was a cow! Too tired to wake up at 5:30 am to work out before job- then family stuff after work day. Now that I’ve lost over 60 pounds I have more energy to exercise and energy to wake up early.
But kids are hard- always food around. Always cooking baking and packing lunches. I have def shared a bite here and there and even a slice of pizza at times. I try to do the best most of the time but do like to feel normal. Since I’m not a binge eater nor do I have food issues- just enjoy food and had a big appetite- the sleeve is working well for me as my portions are so much smaller and I don’t get sick with any foods so I do w joy food. ( except Chinese - which I don’t enjoy anyway). Im thinking you are similar to me so wanted to reassure you that it sounds like you are back on the right track again! You can do it!

Thank you so much for your post. Most mothers do understand what it’s like, so thank you for your considerate and honest response. All the best to you too.

I think there are many on here that want to make you fail. Did a bite of pizza kill me? No. Did it stop me losing weight? No. It hasn’t really stopped people on here getting obsessed over it even though this post is 3 weeks later an unreleased. Sheesh. Unbelievable.

You are a hypocrite - you wrote a post on how hungry you were not long ago because you too prepare meals for the family - so it’s ok to bash someone over a bite of pizza 3 weeks ago? Get lost, you’re all such assholes that have completely overreacted for the sake of being jerks. You need to look in the mirrors.

So now every single post I write on here all of you are going to come on and continue to slam me over a post I wrote at 2 weeks post op about being honest about having a bite of pizza? ?? Do you not think there’s anything wrong with that?

If my post is unrelated why are you all still bringing it up to start a fight? It was weeks ago and I’ve lost 20lbs since op. Stop trying to drag me down and everyone on here being honest.

I’ve been on here a long time and you make more excuses and whine more than anybody I’ve ever seen on here. I might’ve been hungry but I didn’t indulge. I’ve done the post-op diet twice now and never deviated. You want peoples honest opinions then you call them all names like they’re the problem. If you don’t want responses or answers to your posts then keep them to yourself. Good luck I have a feeling your going to need it!

Also I was referring to you eating heaps & chocolates & drinking whine. I never heard anything about a piece of pizza.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
