Not that excited about phase two.



Recommended Posts

After the Great Disappointment I had with liquid Protein I'm not particularly looking forward to phase 2 full liquids. When I went into this I thought the food changeup would keep things exciting but frankly I mostly feel like I just had surgery and my stomach feels weird all the time. All I really want is purple gatorade and chamomile, I don't want to do any weird food experiments right now.

A couple days afterwards what I wanted most desperately in the world was a Mrs. Field's brownie. Now I'mnot even sure if I would be interested. I waited eleven days for butterscotch pudding. It seems kind of anticlimactic really.

This is by far the hardest part!!! Even when you find full liquids that you like or can tolerate, they get old really quickly. Hang in there and you will be moving up to the glamourous world of cottage cheese and yogurt in no time.

Drinkable yogurt got me over the hump in that stage - but everyone is different.

Hang in there!

On the bright side, you never have to drink clear Isopuke again. Pudding--I could take it or leave it. Greek yogurt with sugar-free flavored syrups is pretty good and I liked thinned-out oatmeal with some vanilla Protein Powder added.

I liked savory better early on, like split pea or blended bean soup.... with a glob of yogurt...

Since you like grape Gatorade maybe you would like the Grape Frost Isopure. It is kind of like Kool Aid and has 40 grams of Protein. It is the only flavor of Isopure I can handle. Sometimes I only drink half depending on what I need Protein wise and what I can handle at the moment but with half I still get 20 grams of protein. Also have you tried any of Eggface's Protein shakes. She has a lot of different shakes listed. I've been trying a few out and have found some I really like (chocolate Mint and strawberry Cheesecake are my fav so far). Good luck to you as you continue on- it really does seem to be like a trial and error process- somethings I like and some things I gag at. :rolleyes:

        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
