gastricsleeve

I am Helena and I made the leap and finally went through the gastric sleeve surgery on July 6th 2022. I am now ending the two weeks of liquid diet and going to puréed foods.

The mental struggle is getting to me already. I am watching people eat online cause I can’t and here I am wondering. Will I be able to have sushi again? Some pasta? A burger?

I know I did this to lose weight finally and to keep it off but I don’t wanna forsake those foods permanently. I’m just mentally hungry a lot. I’m dying for some nuggets and just..it pisses me off how ecstatic my mother is about it. Saying it will “change my life”.

I don’t see it. I just see the scars on my stomach and to me they are the ugliest thing. And the hunger is just…I just want some help. The hope that I won’t have to count every single thing I eat forever. I don’t want this to be my life for good.

Does anyone else have this?

I’ve been preparing for #gastricsleeve surgery for the last 6 months. One requirement for the diet trial is to drink 64 ounces of water a day. I purchased a bottle in Amazon that serves me well. Markings for every eight ounces are words of encouragement. I’ve lost about 40 pounds. I’m pretty sure it left through the waterway! Try it!

I want to use these prompts to begin my blog journey as I #loseweight from a #gastricsleeve procedure I'm having Monday.
