Yay! Finally found a thread to post on... Lol

Well I just got home from 10/1 surgery, and I'm craving FOOD! But a simple sip of anything gets me full! I started my B12 tabs today and its relish and has taken my sweet cravings away! I'm living on three things as of right now which are , chicken noodle broth, 1oz every 2 hrs. And 1oz of juice , Water , or tea every hour or so! Any eating suggestions please reply!!! Good luck to us all!

Sipping broth, sorbet, Water, Jello, one ounce every 15 minutes. Tolerating very well, could probably take in more.no shakes for another week. Walking up and down the halls, just a little sore. The tummy grumbling is the only thing really hurting...a lot

Just Do It!!!

I just wanted to chime in that the roxicet was making me really nautious and spitting up. I determined it's either too thick or I'm drinking it too fast. Either way, I watered it down to about 1:1 and sipped it over 15 mins. Finally got it down with no problems and my pain thanked me ;-)

I also had my surgery yesterday around 1230. Last night was kinda rough but mostly due to gas pain. I am feeling much better today. Just had my first clear liquid meal. They said I am doing so well I can go home this afternoon. ????

I had my surgery on 10/3 so I guess that makes me 2 days lost op. today is the worst. I'm having a hard time getting fluids in. I made me some Unjury broth that usually tastes pretty good, but it's making me nauseous this morning. I'm sipping on Powerade Zero. The liquid loratab made me throw up last night. I think I took it too fast plus it tasted horrible. I've been up and walked a little bit..to the mailbox and back. Every time I swallow I feel a bubbly feeling/pain in my chest. I guess it's still gas. I hope day 3 is better. I'm going to rest and then walk some more. I would love some tips on getting all the Fluid in.

Well I'm sorry :( I hope it comes off soon. Maybe the binder might help with being able to get up and around better.

        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
