I tried vanilla muscle milk and wanted to vomit! It tasted sour and yuck. chocolate went down better. I also got some gatorade g2, because I am scared to death that i will get dehydrated. I got up this morning and went to kroger. I was getting all kinds of stares because i know the clerks are used to seeing me zip around the aisles 4 nights out of the week, and I was walking like a snail this morning. I stocked up on food/drink for this phase.

on clears until monday then I will make 1/2 batches of frosty shake. The Isopure grape isn't that great, but I added Grape MIO and it is much better. I am downing liquid with no problem really. 1/2 sf cherry Jello made me extremely full and that = 1-3/4 ounces.

Monday I will try a real shake. I'm very flemmy still and I have post-nasal drip and i cough a lot, though I have an inhaler and use the spirometer a lot. I'm worried about the shake causing more conjestion. If this isn't better by Monday I will call the surgeon, to have a chest xray and make sure I didn't end up with pneumonia. I did all the right things, I walked and sipped, and used spirometer.

Re-read your post-op paperwork. That will tell you whether you can start shakes or not. It's best to follow your doc's orders. If you have any questions, call the nurse or office tomorrow morning.

        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
