Recommended Posts

I'm not sure you can actually get used to them, you will be more than ready for food once you can have it. I did 2 weeks liquids before surgery and pretty much for 7 weeks after because I couldn't get much of anything down from complications. Even now 5 1/2 months later I will not eat Jello, pudding, broth, or popsicles. YUCK!

The reality of the post-op phase hit me too. I've been crying because I just want to eat normally again. I'm sipping Isopure while everyone else is eating- it kind of feels isolating.

I was so excited to get past the physical pain and nausea, and now here I am. The rapid weight loss isn't even making me happy.

This will pass, and we'll be soooo happy in the long run :)

I'm only 6 days out from surgery, so I am actually kind of scared to move on to mushies. Yogurt does sound divine, though. I'm a fan of Greek yogurt (high in Protein too :) ).

The next phase (full liquids like milk) should be a little easier to bear. I look forward to having creamy Soups and Protein drinks mixed with milk instead of just Water. I am so tempted to skip this Clear Liquids phase- this clear stuff is starting to make me sick. I was sipping on a bottle of Isopure and I got so upset with it I dumped the rest of the bottle down drain- a complete waste of good money, but I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I'm trying to mix up my Clear Liquids with Jello and broth. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some sugar free popsicles- those should go down nicely.

Whatever it takes, right?

      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. 🤞
