I keep worrying about what I'm eating/drinking. My doc has me on liquids - clear for week one, just liquid for week two. I'm three days post op and if I get 16 oz of Water in a day, that's good. I'm also only able to do one Protein Shake, and that's if I split it and drink half now, half later. I'm still doing ff chicken broth and some sf pops here and there. Is it enough for now? Should I pushing myself to take in more? I figured it's about 35g Protein and about 45-50 oz of Fluid.< /p>

Also, when do the gas pains lessen? Is there something I can do besides take gasX to help?

Walking will help with the gas. Also take little sips of Water and do not use a straw. Try and drink to a schedule to get more fluids in. 1 oz. every 15 minutes while you are awake.

Best wishes on a speedy surgery recovery!

My surgeon was not concerned with the amount of Protein I got in those first few weeks as it was impossible to get all in. A victorious day included getting in all my liquids to ensure I did not become dehydrated.

So, do the best you can. Make sure you walk often and stay hydrated well. Hugs - it does get better each passing week.

      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. 🤞
