What Am I Doing Wrong?



Recommended Posts

BTW some people eat regular food after this surgery and some people are on a staged diet of liquids, purees and then soft foods. I could not imagine eating real food right after this surgery. I couldn't eat my first egg until week six and then I didn't eat one again until 4 or 5 months out because Soup was just better. I would say try another week on liquids/protien drinks.< /p>

I want to try the soup....did any specific soup work for you early on? And when did you start soup? Thanks!!!

what kind of Soup? How did you prepare it? Thank you!!!!

I am not partial to can soup. I got viloently ill in 2003 from canned soup, and I will never eat it again.

I buy the Soups that are in the deli section of the grocery store. They are more expensive, but the shelf life is shorter. I would wait until they were buy one get one. Then I just throw it in a blender and voila...soup puree. I blended it really well. I would heat it up first. I basically did that to all the soups I liked. Then when the time came I finally started eating the soup regularly, but that was 5 to 6 weeks out. Then maybe at month 3 is when I tried tuna. But it didn't sit well with me so I stuck with soups...as you can see I love soup! I still love soup!

I tried 4 bites of cream of broccli (no chunks) and it stayed down!!!!! It tasted so good too. Thank you for your great advice!

Great! It feels so good when it doesn't make you feel sick! That is a good sign! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
