I also am 1 week post op today and really want some mashed potatoes and gravy too! LOL! I just fight threw it and keep sipping on my liquids. Right now I am sipping on some chicken broth and man it is sooo good! LOL! I'm sick of Protein Shakes and Water so I got some chicken broth for a different flavor and it really has hit the spot. It is tough for everyone of us but keep going strong!

Lots of gas pain and feels like I was punched in stomach hard to take deep breaths. Abs hurt at incisions you will be uncomfortable for a week or so but definately worth the pain un the end.

One week post op today. Have had no nausea and no discomfort whatsoever. Still on Liquid Protein for another week, but have been having a scrambled egg everyday without any issues. Walking everyday, but just terribly bored. Ready to go back to work on Monday and move up to puréed diet in another week. Have lost 10 lbs. more lbs. since surgery ( had lost 26 per-op) so am already 1/3 way to my goal. Had brief moment of craving this morning ( spaghetti and meatballs, of all things- haven't eaten it in years!) but passes quickly. Just hard to tolerate so much sweet stuff- am growing to dread those shakes. Is there a non-sweet Protein alternative.?

This is my first time on here, my surgery is July 9 yes Patrick please share details about any pain after

My pain was alittle bad and the morphine that they gave me was making me just sleepy. So I asked for Toradol and that worked so much better. Take some GasX strips cuz u will need them.

Hi' date='

I am 7 days out and can have creamy Soups. I found a weight watchers recipe for low fat cream of potato Soup with low fat sour cream. I left out the bacon and puréed it really good. I was able to have four small spoonfuls and it stopped my craving.[/quote']

Check hospitals that do bariatric surgery, mine has Unjury in gift shop cheaper than buying online, or you can buy it online just google unjury.

HOLY COW 3 miles? I'm gonna have to work up to that lol

I'll be good to get a mile in without dying haha

I'm gonna get there though bc I wanna be able to run again. I'm still pretty dang fast but only short distances but I stopped smoking 2 days ago too. That will def help a lot. I do plan on being a runner once I get through this though. I want to be able to do the Peachtree Road Race next July 4th!!

Keep up the good work!

awesome job on the 3 miles!! About 10 years ago I was doing 7 miles a night and doing that again seems to far away but your 3 miles encourages me to astrive for it again! Can you believe I was eating a egg roll and a regular coke after each workout back then and I was still losing weight. It's funny how your metabolism says kiss my &^* when you get older. haha. Ready to strive for that again though for sure!

Hi would like that recipe I'm 9 days post op

I'm at a dr.s appointment now, but when I get home I'll post both Soups recipes , black bean and potato. Both are puréed and low fat and approved by my dietician. I could only eat about 4 small spoonfuls, but it's real food!!! Also I added unjury to them so they are packed with protein!!!

After my drs appt my husband is taking me to Thai and I'm going to have the lemongrass Soup strained and with Unjury. I can not stomach any more Jello or plain broth. I'm just trying to be creative!!

I think we all have to push for that goal---not just weight loss, but back to the things we used to do or the things we were never able to do but always wanted to because of the weight hanging over our heads. New way of thinking. New life. Nothing's stopping me now.

      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.
