My surgery date was 10/9, I ate chicken broth, drank Fuze Slenderize, lots of Water, sf popsicles, Jello, etc. I advanced to creamy Soups yesterday and ate an oz of instant mashed potatoes. Everything seems to be going down fine. I haven't had any nausea from foods. But, if I feel the urge to use the bathroom and I don't go right away, I get extremely nauseated....its very weird.

I'm still on a liquid diet too, sleeved on 10/11/12. I try to mix it up daily so I don't get bored. I do different types of Protein Shakes, Soups, sugar free pudding with Protein Powder, Protein Shots and crystal light.

I was on Clear Liquids for a week. Now I am on "creamy" liquids and runny "mushies" for another week (I cheated with the mashed potatoes). Next week I start "mushies" for 2 weeks.

My 2 week post-op appt is next Tuesday and I'm hoping everything is going as good inside as it feels like it is.

I called my doctor's office today about the bowel movement issue. They said to take to Benefiber. I did and it WORKED. I put it in my Water. It was cherry pomegranate.

I wish I read this post earlier today! I'm tentative to take something that may upset my stomach, so I had baby food-pureed prunes with applesauce with lunch hoping that would help. So far, nada! I also bought Fiber gummies, recommended on another thread and ate 2. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
