I am 36 yrs old female and looking to do Vertical Gastric Sleeve. I have done a lot of research on this and really excited to get it done, My date has not been scheduled yet but I am looking into having it done by Dr Kim in Dallas. As I do more research i am very exited to get the procedure done but I also scared what if the weight does not come off. I have been on so many diets and workout plans that I now have stubborn weight. I dont want to be let down.

The weight will come off, don't worry. I went from 246# to a low of 124#, steadied off at 128-130#. Pics on my review.

I just finished all my paper work for the sleeve I am hoping to hear back from the doctor soon. Today I am at 298 lbs. I hope this surgery works for me. This is my last hope.

Some fears that are in my mind
Satya ghodiwalaMarch 25, 2016
I am scared that after the surgery I will never be able to eat pizza or pasta again? I come from a foodie family even though I won't eat as much as them but I still want to enjoy the taste of my Indian food.

Have no fear you will be able to enjoy all the foods you love but in smaller portions. I am West Indian and somehow we have an Easter tradition of eating Bun and Cheese. Surprisingly this year I have no cravings for it and it's also packed with calories and tons a sugar. We also eat a lot of fried fish. Thank you Jesus I can only eat a very tiny fish with one dumpling and I'm full. I still enjoy enjoy my cultural foods and you will be able to do the same. Spicy foods tend to bother me and I hope that changes soon as "spicy" is in my blood. LOL. Keep me posted now!

I had my sleeve just over a week ago. From pre-op diet to the liquid, thin liquid and eventually full liquid diet, there had been some serious soul searching about my relationship with food. Turns out I really love it, but it does not love me back. I have had some severe cravings. I am never hungry but I have had to say goodbye to some addictive habits. I have lost over 20 pounds in this short time. The weight falls off, but the mental weight is hard to lose. I feel as though it will get better. Just don't go into this looking forward to eating the foods that you love in the near future. This is some hardcore change of habit! Cheating and having even a nibble could cause some severe problems. I guess this is what it takes for me to finally put down the dang girl scout cookies!

Thank you for this post. I get what your saying. I know my problem is over eating. Portion control. what was your pre-op diet ?what was included?

It was high protein and under 20 carbs a day. I mostly ate poached eggs and protein drinks.
