So today is day 4 for me post-op. My doctor limits my consumption to only Clear Liquids, which I could not be more sick of! I'm hungry and feeling a little down today. I don't really have a reason for posting other then that. lol - pretty selfish, right? I would give just about anything for some yogurt or eggs!

For How Long?

My doctor allowed yogurt during the clear liquid stage as long as it didn't have any chunks.

Stick it out. My doctor didn't allow anything but broth, Jello, sugar-free popsicles and sf drinks (no carbonation or caffeine). He had me on it 11 days, just short of two weeks. It's tough I know. I just finished it on Friday.

I feel down sometimes too. I am trying not to think too far ahead or behind. I am trying to stick to the diet as closely as I can because I need to make this change for myself. My health is ok but needs to be better so I can live to retire and enjoy my family more. There are things I'd like to do with them that at my current weight, I just can't.

I'm sure there are things you want to do for yourself since you decided to have the surgery for a life change. I hope things get better for you soon. Try not to get too discouraged.

:welldoneclap: I promise you things will get better !

Just take 1 day at a time, and it will go by.

I know it's rough, just think about every thing

that you had before, and stick to it.

I can totally relate. How long is your liquid stage? I'm on creamy starting tomorrow and I can't wait to have some cream of wheat. Lol

I can't have eggs until next Saturday.

Popsicles and naps help alot!

I was just looking on my food list and there are NO starches listed for any phase!!!!!! I have been so looking forward to cream of wheat and oatmeal and they are NOT on the list!!!! I had remembered that the nutritionist told me no potatoes; whipped or not, sweet or white; or any breads. Crud! I was really looking forward to cream of wheat. His phases are 1. Clear Liquids one week 2. Full Liquids - 2 weeks 3. Soft Proteins added one week 4. All soft Foods added one week 5. solid food Trial Period Beginssmiley-angry020.gif

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
