Wow! I'm exactly one week post op and I still can't get in enough liquids. I can't even imagine taking a bite of food. I see my dr today & I'm hoping he will let me move onto Protein Drinks, creamy things because the clear liquid stage has been bad. All clear Soups, broths are ok and I can manage maybe 3 or 4 small sips off a teaspoon and then the next time I heat some broth and i smell it the nausea hits & the dry heaving begins.

You want to be careful because your sleeve is at its most fragile right now' date=' but I'm not going to beat you over the head with that but you surely realize doing this increased your risks for complications.

Can I ask you an unrelated question though? How come you type with capitalization on the first letter of every word? Totally random, I was just curious.[/quote']

Lol Just A Habit I Guess. Been Doing That Since I Was Like 16.

I could start having the full liquids like the strained black bean Soup and creamed Soups on day 7

You're almost there! ;)

If you can already do full liquids then you can start now :)

All surgeons are different

Please do not eat this at 4 days out. Do you have a NUT or surgeon you can contact. At 6 days out you should still be on full liquids. Follow your eating plan and do your self a favour and don't stray from it. You could do yourself harm if you do. No broccoli soup either, you can't have broccoli yet.

PPI is a proton pump inhibitor like Nexium, Prilosec and Previcid. They are long acting gastric acid inhibitors....antacids.

The strained black bean is just the broth and the broccoli Soup is cream of broccoli.

Also I told her to start it when she was on full liquids not sooner. Just to clarify!

      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.
