Thank you @Orchids&Dragons And you as well @Chrisb428 That's exactly what I did when starting this journey. I read tons of posts. Even ones that i did not think would have to do with me but wanted to all all experiences. I learned a lot and feel I went into this well prepared. Thank you to all of you here for your knowledge!!!!

Can you find your instructions from surgery and locate what level or stage of eating you are on? Stick as close to that as possible and the weight will fall off... Promise But you have to do the work... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I am still pre op and picking up items here and there to try. I will be seeing my nutritionist again once I'm approved and can/will ask her as well. I'm curious as to whether a certain soup I tried and really liked is ok. It has 13 g sugar total (3 of which are added, 10 natural) Along those same lines how many grams of natural sugars ARE ok post op? The rule of thumb I was given is to try and stay under 10 grams/serving, but didn't know If that was total or added. Also, if something has say 13 but I am only able to eat a half serving, is that ok? Sorry if I rambled and im really NOT stupid, I swear....lol

Anyone else on week one? I had my surgery last Tuesday and so tired of broth and jello. I’m so ready to move to the protein shakes, thicker soups, etc. I’m not hungry, but I do get a feeling like I should eat at regular meal times. I get thirsty as well in between. TMI but I have to run to the bathroom every time I have my broth. I’m an instant processor. I’m a little worried about going back to work on Monday and having that problem at lunch.

They gave me broth, popsicles, & a protein shake while I was still in the hospital. The first week I was running to the restroom also, but it has slowed down now. I'm 2 weeks Post-Op.

If you feel you are having an emergency.

Everybody needs help sometime, if they don't supply it you may have to seek a bariatric consult somewhere else. Each of us is too precious a life to squander- if you NEED it Go Get IT!🌈😛

Hi there. I’m four days post op. Just started Shakes today’s. Finished about one and a half. Drinking my fluids the best I can. Get full real quick. Just be patient. It will get better.

I'd be flexible as the occasion calls for, why lock into something that is not your core belief for weight loss alone? Now if you subscribed to the ideology that's totally different... IMHO VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169
