I thinned the Beans with enchilada sauce as recommended by another poster - it worked great!!

DEFINITELY ordering a sample. Is it creamy or more like clear liquid??

I had the same problem. I couldn't drink my Protein shakes almost immediately after surgery. I still can't drink milk, eat yogurt or very much cheese. I also cannot stand mayo anymore. About 3 weeks after my sleeve, I developed gallstones and I thought that once my gall bladder came out at 8 weeks post-op that these things would improve. I am now 4 month out and still on the same road. Maybe in a month or so I will try again.

The sleeve amazingly changes many things for all of us. I had a hard time on soft-foods too. There weren't many choices. Mushies does get better. Now I still avoid the foods mentioned above and also red meat as it doesn't sit too well on my tummy. From what I have learned, we are all different and some of us are able to introduce foods quicker than others.

OH, let your doctor know. Maybe they can prescribe Nexium or Prilosec. It might help. It did help me some.

The Syntrax nectar is like fruit juice. It's not thick and heavy like other Protein drinks. Since this one is mixed with Water, it's thin and actually refreshing! I love drinking it on a hot day! I usually drink mine after a workout and it's really great.

I'm very anxious to see my doctor tomorrow! I'm on Zofran for the nausea and Pepsid (or something of the like- prescribed) but it's just not working. I was really good at 4wks and was able to eat fairly well then I got a serious cold and regressed. Ever since then I've been battling this nausea! It's terrible. I'm only able to eat soup! Anything I have to chew makes me wanna vomit. Even the sight of food sometimes makes my stomach upset.

        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.

      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
