Hey July Sleevers - anyone else REALLLLLY tired of clears and ready to move into fulls?

My surgery was July 6. I'm doing okay - ups and downs. Going a little crazy with trying to get in my Protein and liquid. I miss food!

What's up with you guys? Kaus and Want2Be - we were all the same week - so I'm wondering how you two are?

I'm 6 days post op and dying here. I cant wait to advance to full liquids. Maybe then I will get in more than 5-10 g Protein. Having an impossible time getting even close to the nutritional requirements this week. Good weight loss though. I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow but I think it's too soon. I'll decide later today.

When I was on liquids only, I gave up trying to get in the recommended Protein. I wasn't able to even come close until I moved to mushies.

Forget about getting in the 60-70 gms. of protein - I am on mushies and still can't get in all of my protein, although it is easier than it was on clears and fulls. Bearded doesn't seem to be having any trouble getting in his protein though - he can tolerate the Protein Drinks, where I can't. He also doesn't have any trouble swallowing either - which makes it easier!

lucky for bearded! Tonight I feel a lot better. I have taken some veggie Soup and strained it. Just had the broth from that. Cheating a little? Not sure, but it sure helped get some nutritional in me besides water!

No that's not cheating - the broth would be considered a clear liquid. You can add in SF Jello-O tomorrow.

Thank goodness I had no trouble tolerating the Liquid Protein drinks. I really liked them and that made recovery so much easier.

      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. 🤞
