I can't stop watching the damn food channel! The full liquid diet is way worse after surgery, I am already planning what I am going to eat for my two weeks of puréed foods.

It is very normal. I felt the same way. You just had major surgery and you have to give yourself time to recover. I also had depression and it also got better as I healed. The hunger issue is weird but I was more hungry then than I am now. It gets better!!!

Hahahah same here! Although, today I watched five recorded episodes of Chopped and then made my husband what he called the most amazing chicken parmesan ever all without batting an eye or thinking about eating it. I think I might be sick. ???? All I could think of is how did I eat so much processed food for so long when I can make food like this and then randomly I wondered how much Protein was in the lamb fries they were using....

It's been awhile since I was sleeved, but I can remember feeling swollen for about 3 months. It does get better. Always tried to get my Protein in. My tastes changed after surgery also. And isn't it something how we notice the food commercials after surgery. Even for food I did not eat before.

OMG, you are totally normal! Believe it or not, we are not Disney Princesses who will go through a dramatic occurence and smile our way through it. In the hospital I kept saying "I paid for this. I did this to myself. I asked for this." And it actually became a joke around the floor. Allow yourself to feel better. Give yourself the leeway to be human and doubt. personaly, I was telling people that I was STARVING for about 4 days. I kind of just got through it, but it was hard. I was sleeved on the 19th and I'm having issues sticking with drinking, excuse me, "sipping" all my Water and not being active. Allow yourself an hour at a time and then when you're ready, a day at a time. We're all here for you! You'll do grand and this will be an uncomfortable memory in the pleasent future.

I think all of us deal with part of it. I agree with just do 1 hour at a time. I am not working right now so I am really lucky but I make little challenges to myself. Between 10-12 I get in 16 ounces of Water, at 2 I am going to walk outside for 30 min., etc. it has helped me stay on track and get all my stuff in. Just do the best you can. It will get better.

        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
