Of course u want to follow what your dr says. My dr allows yogart and I'm 5 days post op. I was eating yogart on day 2 without problem. U can always liquefy it with nonfat milk. Just trying to help. Was amazed by the 23g of Protein. Also I am not big on sugar substitutes but truvia is sweet and not too bad tasting. Good luck and hang in there!!!

Post op I didn't have any Protein shakes they made me gag. I stuck to liquids by making my own nutritional Soups and blending them till they were the right consistency. I'm five months post op and when I see Protein powders' date=' shakes etc even on a supermarket shelf they turn my stomach. A month on them pre op was all I could handle.

It's still early days if you don't get in all you're protein requirements it's ok that will come with solid foods.[/quote']

I am with ya on this one!!! I am 6 days post op and can't even stand the thought of a protein shake! Te smell makes me want to puke... Matter of fact, any chocolate smell makes me nauseous! I am getting protein by milk mostly and today I am going to try the bean soups in the blender to liquefy for added protein. I never want to see a shake again!!!! Lol

Full liquids and clear liquid diet are two different things... I think some get them confused. Full liquids is anything through a straw, Clear Liquids is just that, clear such as broth, juice, ext. I am cleared for full liquids so I am getting myself some bean and bacon Soup and blending it up in the blender today :) excited!!

Somehow they want me to try to get 80g of Protein... As of right now, there's no way. Lol. I live out in the middle of nowhere so the fancy yogurt is nowhere to be found. I have been having the FF Activia yogurt, it's really good and 1/4 cup so it's easy, but I think it's only 7g? It also serves both purposes. I think I can probably stand to have a shake, not that I really want one, but just because I'm getting desperate for something.

Just went for a 45 min walk though, so I need something!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
