Hi all, I am in week 3 puree stage........ Since ive gone on puree stage I just havent been able to stomach the Optifast shakes. My problem is im not getting enough Protein. My food for yesterday:

1 weetbix, 1/2 cup milk, 2 spoons benefibre

1/2 cup spag bol

1/2 cup baby food *2

1 ltr Water

Today its looking worse so far

1 weetbix+ 1/2 upn go+ benefibre

1/2 cup chicken rissotto

I am planning on having chicken and sweetcorn Soup for dinner

Prob have about 1ltr of water

Other problem being yesterdays food feels like a rock in my stomach (yes all food is pureed), just not feeling hungry.Trying to force myself to eat is not an option. Im thinking about buying some Protein powder to add to stuff but im lucky to eat what I am let alone add something else to it. Im thinking i might have to try n force myself to have at least 1 shake a day :(

Yeah, unflavored Protein Powder was a lifesaver for me (and stil is) as far as getting in my 70. I use nectar unflavored and mix it with hot cocoa or ovaltine and I can hold that down really well. I think I'll always need to rely on some sort of shake/drink to get my grams in until I'm ready to chow meat full time.

I drink Isopure. One bottle has 40 grams of Fiber with zero carbs.

Ugh, I wish I could. The taste of Isopure makes me gag. For some reason post-surgery I've been really sensitive to the taste of anything Protein Drink related and it usually isn't pleasant.

        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.

      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
