Hello everyone, this is my first time on this site. Well have been reading but first time telling my story. I had my surgery on May 4th and so far so good. But I have noticed every commerical on TV is food. I do not have a hunger pain but I feel it is in my head and I want to eat everything and no full well I can not. I an on liquid diet until the 18th and so far I have done SF popsicles, SF Water ice, Tomato Soup, and of course Protein Shake. I am lookking for different ideas - anyone?

You know, I'm not much of a TV watcher but the time window when I do have it on is from 6 to 8 pm and the

almost non-stop food commercials amazed me. I know they are gunning for the dinner market but wow.

BTW, my program said no Tomato products until you move to full food due to the acid. I've read so many people

here who are eating tomato Soup so I went ahead and tried it yesterday. It seemed to have agreed with me just

fine yesterday but today, having it a second time, I think it did irritate me quiet a bit. Aside from little issues I've

not have too many big problems but tonight I feel like something is stuck in my throat so I'm backing off of the

tomato soup. It's too bad because it was wonderful. Made me feel like I was actually having real food. But I can

wait another couple of weeks to be safe.

I was sleeved on the 3rd and I had Cream of Mushroom Soup today and it was great. Also, have cream of chicken and golden mushroom Soups in the cupboard for the next few days. What about yogurt? Last week I was eating a lot of chicken broth and before surgery I had reserved some liquid from a previous batch of my beef stew and it was great to have post-op, just liquid, no pieces.

I was thinking about yougurt but what is good that does not have pieces and low in fat and no sugar?

I'm worried that I will feel light headed and weak after my surgery because of not eating enough calories. My body is so used to having a few thousand calories per day then all of a sudden I will only we consuming 500-700 a day. Does your body feel like it's going into shock, weak, light headed, dizzy, etc. Or because your tummy is so much smaller you don't feel that way. ??

You know after you get in your Protein in you will feel really good. Yesterday, the first thing I did when I got up was my Protein shake and I felt great. Today I got a shower first with no Protein Shake and I feel weak...so I learned my lesson :)

Hi - can you tell me where you add your ticker to show up each time? I created one but am not sure how to add it - thanks

      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
