Everything you guys are experiencing is normal. If you are gasy take gas x. I gurgle constantly this will be normal. I am a full two weeks out and have been back to work for a week. The gurgling last awhile. Now about pooping Becareful u don't over eat. You will get dumping syndrome. If your on pain meds Becareful as your first poop will be awful, and when I mean awful, like you never wanna poo again. I know this is gross but it's the truth. Other then that I have lost a total of 11 lbs, in 13 days. I have been drinking all my Protein, eating yogurt, broth, Soup, instant mashed potatoes, pudding, and Jello. Grits were not good to me as the second bite made me sick. Of coarse I dont eat these thing all in a day. I have three meals a day and protein or Snacks in the middle. I eat very slow and do not finish my meals. Also work your phases as instucted. Everything your instructions say is absoulty correct. I hope this helps.

I am 3 mths out, almost. I wasn't allowed to even attempt a Protein shake till week 2. I was supposed to be focusing in staying hydrated week 1. I use 100% whey from The Vitamin Shoppe in vanilla and chocolate. They still make me feel bloaty. But they taste fine and help me get my Protein in.

        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
