1. How much weight did you loose in the first week? >> I'm not really loosing that much ( just under 2 KG/7 days) 6 or 7 pounds I think...

2. What are some good meals to eat in the 2nd week. I was on full liquids so I enjoyed savory Soups in the blender the most.

3. Do you snack between meals? If so, what? Roasted almonds. 12 is a half a serving and it helps me not feel hungry.

4. Do you smoke? if so, how much? no

5. What is best juice to drink? None. Unless you do your own juiciing, I'd say juice is just "empty" calories.

6. Can you eat rice in the 2nd week? ( I live in japan, this is a rice country.....so hard to not eat rice) I'd say no.

7. How long after your surgery did you get a fill? 6 weeks

8. What is your present fill? ( mines is 4cc...is this too less?:...i'm 75KG/ 28yrs/5'4) 7.75 ccs

9. Did/do you pas a lot of gas? yep. It calmed down a month or two after surgery but it's still more than before.

10. How soon after can you really see a difference? Personally, I noticed a small difference around 35 pounds.

ETA: your starting weight is much lower than most of the people on this board, so I don't know that our feedback is going to translate well to your circumstance...

      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.
