4Th Day If Liquid Diet...feeling Down



Recommended Posts

So I'm actually doing so much better than I thought I would. I thought I would be trying to bite small children by now but its been ok. Now don't get me wrong I'm hungery, but its ok because I am ready to have this surgery and I know its the right thing. But..... I miss food. I just really enjoy food and cooking. Cooking and eating a great dinner with my husband makes me happy. I didn't think I would feel sad and down. I was worried more about just being hungry and wanting food. I hope this is something that will pass and I won't always feel like I'm missing out??

Well, the good news is you will be able to eat again. Just not as much. If you go into it with a quality over quantity mindset, you don't really miss it a whole lot.

Hang in there! The light at the end of the tunnel will be here before you know it!!!!!! It will help too when you can have "full liquids" like creamy Soups and such. You are doing great thus far- keep it up. This will soon be a distant memory!

I'm on full liquids but I was told only Tomato Soup and strained cream Soups nothing my body has to breakdown. That soup sounds delicious! Thanks!

Great way of looking at it!

        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
