Hi Again guys hope this finds you all well :)

In a few days I will be on the vitamised stage and am looking for some suggestions,I know there are receipes on here for that stage but I really want to know what you guys had during this period? Some suggestions would be greatley appreciated..

I am feeling really good and am going about as normal (well almost) Been a littleeeeeeee hungry but not starving and if I never eat yoghurt & custard again it will be to soon blehhhhhhhh..

My incistions are healing nicely although I do have a really big cut under my left rib bout 5-6 inches long which is still a little tender still..

Will leave it as this and thank you in advance..

Cheers

Why such a large incision? is that from the port site? I am being banded in a few weeks so getting quite nervous.

Cograts on being banded... I don't have any input on your question because I to am to be banded in two days. But I wanted to ask about your port area. R they all this big? I thought they were like 1-2 tops? Why is yours so big? don't mean to take over you thread but I am also getting nervous!!!!!

Hi Guys...

Well I cant be 100% sure to why I have such a longish cut as I didnt realise it was that big untill I got home so I couldnt ask about it..I see my surgeon on the 4th so I will find out then.. Although I went to my local gp and he seems to think that maybe they had a slight problem getting to where they needed to go so they made it a little bigger but again I cant really tell you that much untill I see my surgeon...

JMO I don't think they are meant to be quite this big ?? I looked at others incistion photo's on this site and mine for some reason does look a little bigger but dont let that freak you out :)

JMO Banded 2moro how exciting for you.. Hope all goes well for you ;)

It has been a long time since my mushy stage, and I have forgotten most of the things I was eating.

But I do recall I had mashed potato (with garlic, light parmasan, and light evap. milk ((drool))) Thick thick Soups (The little tins of cambells pumpkin Soup, cream of chicken and pea and ham are great) Toward the end of my mushy stage I remember having warmed up mushy wheet bix (real mushy to start with)

Sorry I am not of more help.

Enjoy your first mushy meal Lil! lol

And a big congrats on the 7kg lost thus far! :clap2:

You may gain a little back on mushies, but if you drank plenty of Water during your liquid phase, you will not be dehydrated, so provided you make good choices, anything you regain would just be, *ahem* bowel content... And that can weigh anywhere up to 3kg.

LOL I will blame any weight gain on my bowel content.. Will make me feel better anyway hehehe...

I had some mashed potato and pumpkin for my first meal I was so excited.. I recon I could have had alot more but I restricted myself which was hard to do but I done it :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
