5th day post-op. sunday and Monday I was on pure Protein 3x aday. I'm glad thats over. Today is my first day with Protein Shakes. I tried vanilla by Bariatric Advantage and it wasn't that bad. I can't believe I drank all of it with no problem. Now drinking Water.< /p>

All checked in...sitting on a stretcher. Not scheduled for surgery until noon. Ad no luck in getting an IV started. I'm a tough one to get an IV on. Now I'm waiting for the anesthesiologist to do it once I get over to OR holding. Should be fun....NOT! Lol.

BTW I wanted to share something that I figured out a few days ago but haven't had a chance to get on and post about it. I know this might gross people out but read everything I have to say before passing judgement. A few months back I was reading Oxygen magazine. In the advertisements I read about Egg Whites International. So I bought some and gave it a try. They taste good, not slimy or chalky. I also make a container of Sugar Free Chocolate pudding and add one it to the shake and it smooths it out. I'm just saying it was yummy. I'm not being paid to say this...just thought I would share something that is working for me.

Hello all. My name is Jana, I am 49 years old and was sleeved on the 15th. I've been fighting pain on the left side, but it gets better each day! I am looking so forward to the full liquid stage, which for my surgeon and nutritionist means cottage cheese! I have lost 15 lbs. and am looking forward to my new lifestyle. I've created a board on Pinterest that has all kinds of potential recipies once I'm on full foods. But for now I can't wait to have food other than broth, Isopure, and sugar free popsicles.

I almost have day 3 behind me on my prep shakes. I am not doing so well. I am having terrible headaches and def cannot stomach all of the shales that they want me to have. I have only had two today. I can feel the difference in my body changing from the last of sugar and carbs, my body is pissed. I have already lost 2 pounds in 3 days. I just want to say that this is rough and I feel crappy. Enough said. Thanks for listening

AMEN! It is rough, and we should be able to say that! This is one of the hardest things I've ever did! And I have 3 kids;) I am still having bad days that suck but you know what......I love getting on the scale and it says 22 lbs lighter in a couple weeks;)

You are doing wonderful! Every day will get easier, and everyday you will see the change in your body that will make it all worth it!

I've been doing pretty good with my diet, although getting the Protein in is hard. Today I only did one Protein Drink and ended up with 38 grams of protein so far so hoping to atleast get my second in somehow....i'm trying to convince my brain that i do not need real food, so i keep chewing on ice. It is driving me mad that all I can have goes right down, no chewing involved. Soon enough I'll be at my mushy stage so atleast that has a little more consistency.

I was feeling great and out of no where I'm feeling completely wiped out and have like zero strength. :( I'm getting my Protein and Water in but probably not enough calories.....

Feeling really down about today. Wish I would feel like my normal self.

      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.
