Hi Amy

Popsicles, I love them - these are considered a liquid - this is my treat every night - MmmmmMmmmm Good

IMO Water is the best, and most people drink plenty of that

congrats & best of luck on your new sleeve

Thanks. I forgot my notebook at my house. When can I start drinking the Protein shakes?

I have been doing Protein Shakes since day 3 after surgery. How are you doing? Days 4 and 5 were ROUGH for me. Day six was much better. I just want some energy back. I hope it comes about when I get to add pureed foods. Never thought I'd look forward to pureed food, but I already have my refried Beans, salsa, and sour cream sitting in the kitchen awaiting me! Call your surgeon's office if you have any questions. They were WELL PAID to offer up any help we need. Hugs!

I'm doing pretty good the heartburn is the only bother. I've kept down my Water n buying my Protein shake tomorrow I miss it. I feel good too. Can't wait for the soreness to go away so I can move around lol. I just wanted to see what other liquids y'all are drinking to get a variety :)

I highly recommend that you drink some low calorie G2 Gatorade. It helps prevent dehydration. ;)

I wasnt allowed my Protein Shakes for two weeks. I had Water, gatorade (electrolytes saved my life energy wise), any Soup broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. Basically they told me any clear liquids! I watered down my gatorade but it was seriously what gave me any energy and made me feel I could make it through the day.

My mom made a homemade chicken veggie Soup and when I woke up I had a cup of warm broth waiting for me :) beats that canned broth lol it filled me up ! Also got some sugar free Popsicles. Either the Jello or the crystal light gave me heartburn. Staying away from those two for a while lol

no offense intended, if you want to sweeten a popsicle w/ splenda or whatever, i guess that ok.

Did your surgeon or a Dr put you on anything for acid reflux or heartburn after surgery?

        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
