Fage Greek yogurt is great for this stage - I add Splenda and vanilla essence and it is yum. I also eat salmon pate. Good luck with your food experiments!

I'm also not experiencing anything other than full' date=' which is uncomfortable. I kind of wish it was harder to get things down.[/quote']

I'm not always full after my "meal". After 20 minutes I'll usually have a Protein shake. They are the only things that I really feel full from. I just keep reminding myself that this is a learning period and I am learning how to feel full. My surgeon says some of us don't really have the ability to feel full... But we can regain it by teaching our bodies. I hope that helps... Feels like I was entirely too vague on that response.

I just got back from Walmart and the food store and I am beat why is I feel so drained when I walk I hope it passes anyways I bought everything I'm excited to finally others things to eat thanks so much

Thank you for this. I'm 11 days post-op. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and it kicked my butt. I just wanted to cry! I hate being so fatigued. I'm glad it's normal. I'm supposed to return to work this evening and I'm slightly terrified that I'm going to pass out.

I'd been up and around doing things around the house even ventured to get a Mani/pedi at the mall and did some walking while there. But nothing has kicked my ass as much as grocery shopping I seriously wanted to murder someone when done. I was sweating, annoyed, stressed and fatigued. I wanted to stab a b***h haha. Maybe it's all the food we can't have plus the walking hahaha.

I'm a psych nurse. My job is very hands off and I have staff that do most of my grunt work. I'm still just scared that it'll be a wild night and I'll just bottom out. I'm going to call my boss shortly and see what she thinks.

I spoke with her and my doctors office. I'm off till Thursday then I'll go back light duty. I'm so relieved. I won't be able to have patient contact, and I miss my guys like crazy... But if I can't handle it, at least I won't be leaving my patients and staff high and dry. :)

I have been taking my B12 and Multivitamin. I'm supposed to take the Calcium supplement twice daily but I keep forgetting. I guess I'll have to set an alarm on my phone to remind me. :)

I'll check out the Vitamin Water zero. Sounds good. I bought New whey Protein shots at Wal-Mart yesterday. 42 grams per shot. I figure if I have a low Protein day I'll sip on that for a while to help make up the difference.

On the purée food front... I have been working my way through a chicken salad mush I made. chicken, low fat mayo, relish. I've been enjoying it. I am thinking today I'll make refried black Beans. :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
