Youre not suppose to have ANY liquids after midnight on Sunday. But during the day you can have the Clear Liquids. I had Jello all day. Ill be a week post op on monday...but be prepared to not have ANY Water after your surgery. They wont let you drink anything until you've.had an.upper gi to test for openings ...also the drink they make you take three times taste so nasty....bearable...but nasty....they'll probably offer you lemon swabs for your dry mouth....TAKE IT. You wont regret that....it really helps..

I had mine on Monday the 18th too!

June 1st. It's been a rocky road since and I'm hoping and praying it gets better. :)

I'll say a prayer for you as well! I was very overwhelmed yesterday, but I felt better this morning. I think that things will get a little better each day...

Good luck!

Good luck GIJane, and Little bits every day is a little different than the day before that's for darn sure. Keeping you in my prayers. Each day does get a little easier.

I am actually very tired out today and probably more sore today than I have been in a few days. Wednesday can't seem to get here fast enough because I have questions for the surgeon, and I'm really hoping to advance to pureed food. I really am praying they don't make me wait another two weeks. It's not that I'm hungry, it's that I want to get more Protein in and the shakes are not cutting it for me still.

June 29th. Mt. Sinai in NYC.

Prayers are very welcome. I'm scared of the irreversible changes coming.

Prayers are coming your way. I am the day before you. I am scared to, BUT I am scared more of living the rest of my life dealing with obesity. I think we will be fine!

Hey Juners,

How many calories are you taking in each day? The first week I was about 300 and now I have moved up to 500+ during week two. Is this too much?

      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.
