I have the same question, thanks for asking. I'm not the best cook so I'm worried about the pureed stage. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm so glad I found this thread. So many other threads have people who have girl or boyfriends and spouses to support them. I live alone too. I'm afraid to go out with my friends. All of them are overweight. They love to eat. I just can't be around that. I wish all of us on this thread lived near each other. I'm dying for some one on one support. I'm having a tough time right now. Can't find any proteins that I can stomach. Going to the pureed stage and I have no idea what to do. I'm not the best cook. Please help of you can. Thanks.

For the past week and this week, my WLS journey has been hard for me. I feel like I'm all alone. I miss eating what I want. I didn't eat a lot of things. I just miss the taste. I'm in the pureed stage now and I don't have a clue what to do. I feel like I'm never gonna get to my goal. I know it's only been 4 weeks post op for me. I'm always thinking of the future. I feel so restricted. Mind you I don't want to give up, I just want to know how did you all handle it? I'm mostly by myself so I don't have a spouse or friends and family that gets it. Most of my friends are overweight too. My family just says follow the plan. For me it's not that easy to follow the plan. Do I regret the surgery some days yes and others no. I have lost some weight, and I'm happy for that. I just want to know if there's any light after the tunnel. Also if anyone can help me with ideas for the pureed stage for someone like me who pretty much sucks at cooking. Please don't judge me, I'm only asking for support. Thank you all.

Thank you so much for your support. I know I'm not alone, but I feel like I am. It's great having online support, I just wish sometimes I had that one on one support too. Some couples have gone through this journey together. They're very lucky. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Kay Ballance! Kay is my daughters name. I also live in Illinois. Why are you sad? I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 8/3/17.

I totally know how you all feel. I've been feeling lonely a lot. Mind you I have support from family and friends and my wls support groups. But it usually hits me when I'm alone. Or when I'm out and see others eating whatever they want. I feel like no one can relate to me. I just try to stay focus on my journey and why I did it.

Yes I'm committing to no more alcohol. I'm 3 weeks post op. I was only a social drinker anyways so it hasn't been hard for me. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

I can understand your frustration. I wish I was like you being able to eat. I'm a week post op and still on clear liquids. But my issue is I'm not hungry at all. I'm forcing myself to drink my liquids in. But today for some reason I'm not hungry and that scares me. I hope your journey gets better for you. Good luck!

I use a CPAP machine too. I'm feeling better using it after the surgery then before. Good luck to you. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Sweetie don't cry, you said you've been killing it at the gym right? It could be muscle gain. They do day muscle weighs 3x more than fat. Don't be so hard on yourself. You've got this. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes it was. Feet looking good. Can't wait for the rest to look good during this journey. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

It's been a week ago today since my surgery. It hasn't been easy with the food cravings in my head. And I'm having trouble getting my water and protein intake in. My dietician says that's normal. I hope so. I'm in the losers club down 18 pounds!!! My stomach hurts when I sip, but I'm not giving up. I'm loving the new me I'm becoming more and more each day. Rock on August sleevers!!!

You'll be just fine. You've gotten this far. I'm taking it day by day. Enjoying the new me. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi my surgery was successful. O was in a lot of pain afterwards. Some days are good and not so good. I'm happy with the weight loss this far. But the cravings have been hard. I haven't cheated mind you, but the cravings are in my head. I'm taking it day by day. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Today is not the best day for me. Treated myself to a pedicure and got really tired and weak afterwords and just went back home to rest. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Welcome Amanda! I just had my VSG on August 3rd. Good luck on your journey! Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello all I'm 5 days post op today. Surgery date was 8/3. I've lost 15 pounds since my surgery. The clear liquid diet is getting old for me. I'm ready to move on. I can't start the full liquid diet until the 17th. How are the rest of you all handling the liquid diets? Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Why do you feel that way? Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

You look amazing!!! Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor told me no more alcohol period. It's going to be hard but you've already gotten this far. I'm not drinking anymore for myself, I've invested so much in this weight loss journey. I'll support and not judge any decision you make. Good luck. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

You're not alone, I have bi polar disorder and anxiety too. I was sleeved on August 3rd. I've been up and down with my weight loss too. Before my gastric sleeve surgery I weighed 229. I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm so proud of you. Keep up the great work!!! Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved in August 3rd. I'm trying to keep my liquids down. The nausea isn't helping me either. I hope to feel well soon. Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone. I just had my gastric sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm home now and I'm having trouble with drinking my water and protein intake too I'm getting full quickly. Has anyone else experienced that after surgery. How long did it last for you? I'm afraid of failing. Please help!!! Sent from my LG-H901 using BariatricPal mobile app
