How much can you eat? 18 days out and can only get in about 2 teaspoons of mushies. Is anyone else getting in much more than that?

I am 11/2 and I can do 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and Soups but less of things like chicken or seafood mushed up. I can actually do a whole 11 oz Protein Shake if I try in about an hour or sometimes less but couldn't do that much with anything but Protein Shakes or Soup. Any thing thicker is about 1/3 to half cup 5-6 times a day

Wow......that's so much more than I can get in. Fear of throwing up stops me from pushing it a little further.

I was sleeved on 10/31 and it depends on what I'm eating as to how much I can get down. I can get a full Premier Protein shake down with no problem, about 3/4 scrambled egg, about two teaspoons of chicken or tuna salad, a snack cup of apple sauce and about 1/2 a chicken thigh. Definitely learning that small bites are better. If I hurry through it....it's coming right back up. I'm down 23 pounds so I have no complaints.

Hi! I was Nov 1 and what works for me is eggs. I scramble it to pieces ... Lots of Protein in eggs too! Egg drop Soup is good too. I also just tried mash potatoes - they r " heavy" so only two teaspoons or so I have. Was suppose to wait till end of week 3. , but I tried earlier.

I was sleeved on 10/31 and can't have anything but liquids for three weeks (can't wait until Wednesday)!

I've been getting in about 500 calories and pretty close to 60 grams of Protein each day. I'm relying on Protein shakes and unjury chicken Soup. Pretty boring, but its working. I lost 13 lbs in the 3 weeks of my pre-op diet and have lost 14 lbs since surgery.

I can't drink a whole shake at a time though, I have to have at least a couple hours in between.

Thanks everybody. I guess I"m on track. I was sleeved on 10/31 with no complications and no pain. I was put on full liquids 6 days post op. And I'm on puree now. I had refried Beans tonight (a little under 2 oz.) And I was satisfied.

I was sleeved 10/29. I'm not having any problems, am on mushies. Can do about half a cup of food at a time. Sometimes I feel like I'm eating to much? I don't get a full feeling, I haven't felt sick at all. I use my little containers and just stop after that is gone....

        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
