You need to concentrate on Protein right now so you don't go into starvation mode. Jello is considered a clear liquid. i don't know what stage you are in so I can't say but if you just had surgery on the 18th and you are eating salmon already, that is much different than my doctor allowed. Were you ever on the pureed or mushies? That comes before soft food. You can get alot of protein in on mushies. i am curoious why he has allowed you to go to salmon already, but all doctors are different. Eat about every 3 hours and try cottage cheese, refired Beans are great, lentil Soups in blender. Perhaps you should go back to mushies for a cople days so Ou can get more prtein in. It doesn't sound like you are eating enough so you need to try a little every three hours or so.

When your weight bounces up, it is NOT fat you are gaining. It's physically impossible given what you are ingesting. It is Water retention that will leave you. Promise.

I weigh every day, and i can bank on a pattern of lose 1, gain 2, lose 3. Repeat ad nauseum. You get used to it. But the bottom line is......shrinking!

Im gonna add a Protein drink that's sounding good for mid afternoon snack! I guess I'm not eating enough -:( does anyone write down what they eat daily? I need some tips! btw thanks for all the encouraging words!

Myfitnesspal.com is excellent for food journaling. A lot of us here use it. There is a smartphone app for it as well, so it is so easy to enter things on the go too :)

To make sure you are getting the right amount of Protein, it would be a good idea for you to use something like this that calculates it for you. 15lbs down in 15 days is great though...breathe :)

      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. 🤞
