ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....



Recommended Posts

I haven't tried any fish yet, chicken has been good, oh I did eat 1 fish finger with some ketchup, and it was amazing, lol. Before I would have had 12 fish fingers. Today I had some of the roast beef off an Arby's sandwich, and that was really nice too. Just chewed very well. It's very thin moist and easy to eat.

When was your surgery? One fish finger is pretty good.

Ya know' date=' I agree, it is hard to calculate. My shake has 35 G Protein, so I still drink that for Breakfast and assume the small portions of protein for lunch and dinner are enough. Not the best answer, but that's what I do.[/quote']

I was sleeved April 8 prepared myself physically and mentally for this procedure used VST for support but mostly info.I've had my days of ups and downs but nothing drastic i just thank God i made it through the procedure and pray for good health for the remainder of my life. I'm okay with getting in whatever amount of food and liquids i get in because each day it gets better. I have a daily focus on no vomiting, i was told that its okay if you only get in small amounts in the first stage and in the beginning my saving grace with fluids has been mostly sf popsicles. I find myself looking for small things to eat that's high Protein tried smoked oysters yesterday rinsed and ate what i could as lunch and popped the rest in my mouth throughout day 11g protein.I've made the decision, no time for regret, if no complications I'm just continuing as planned.

Thank you' date=' now I am on day 7 and I have lost 36 pounds. I weighed 296 and now I am weighing in at 260!!![/quote']

That is great. Surprisingly I haven't weighed myself since being home. I actually lost about 60 lbs pre op so I guess I've just been ok knowing that. Also, I lost my "gas and fluid' weight before I left the hospital.

I take the nutrametrix vitamins u can order them online @ www.yourvitaminshere.com & I use the Isopure unflavored protein powder rarely I use the GNC wheybolic chocolate Protein Shake & I don't eat a lot either that's y I mix my unflavored protein with bout 2 tabkespoon cream of chicken its easier for me 2 get it down that way & 20 grams protein I also find that its easier for me 2 get more water in if I use a regular cup instead of the bottle my doc recommended

      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.
