doesn't sound like much but in the beginning I didn't want to eat. I made myself eat and sip lots of Water all day long. don't forget the water. I was worried about dehydration.

the first weeks are surreal since we eat so little, before you know it you will be on full liquids. be sure to get a good whey Protein Powder - it will provide lots of needed Protein. plus many of them taste good!

Eat as much as you feel comfortable with, at this point you won't be gaining anything.

My nutriotionist told me to get 64 oz Water minimum. And to have 3 Protein Shakes a day Plus to drink my snack drinks to get more Protein. So I'm consuming 129 g prOtein a day. And to take my Vitamins two times a day. It's a lot to take in but I don't go anywhere without my water bottle. I'm not supposed to have yogurt til the 6th. But I can have their special chicken Soup which has 27 g protein by new direction.

I don't neccesarily think you are eating to much; though my question is when are you allowed to move to mushies? I was not allowed to have yoghurt until my 4 th week.

I just started week three and I am allowed to have soft food as tolerated. I have had no problems with anything I have tried including scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, Soups, oatmeal, and cream of wheat. I do notice that my appetite is coming back with a vengence now that I am eating real food. I don't get my first fill until Feb 1 and I lost 14 pounds the first two weeks of my band and now gained back 2 pounds since I started eating.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
