Hi Colemon70' date=' I'm doing ok, trying to get as much Protein in. im at pureed stage.I believe u n I got sleeved the same day :) cool! How r udoing?? Question: can we drink naked juice? At least a lil but, I'm so constipated :/ n this is the only thing that works.[/quote']

Today I had some 100% apple juice. I was really craving it, and it helped me painlessly meet my Fluid intake. I say have some! We are even allowed to have mashed potatoes and hot Cereal.....LOTS of carbs. I think the low carb requirements start when we can eat real food.

I've read on some threads that oatmeal is allowed during the pureed stage?? Have you tried oatmeal yet?? I'm kinda scared to try it.

I was sleeved this past Thursday, so today I am 4 days out. I am still having a lot of trouble swallowing. Feels like a golf ball every time. Also, they gave me a suppository in the Hospital BC I was in SO much pain from gas. So now I have (sorry TMI) liquid diarrhea. Did any of you have any of these issues? I am worried about dehydration. I am on full liquids, so I'm trying to drink skim milk along with Water and some zero calorie electrolyte drinks like Powerade Zero and Gatorade. Haven't attempted a Protein Shake yet.

The feeling of having a goofball stuck will go away in a few more days...I had a similar experience as yours at the beginning since I was pretty much sipping on chicken broth n water. Just keep on sipping water, liquids, to avoid dehydration.

I 'm 5 days post op and struggling with the same issues. But today I feel better than yesterday and I'm pretty sure if I take it one day at a time things will improve. Remember we've been through a major surgery, a part of ur body has been cut away, of course we need to give our bodies the time they deserve to heal. Pls stop worrying, it's a normal symptom after the gastrectomy. My docs advice: DON'T STAY IN BED OR ON THE SOFA. WALK AS LONG AS UR LUNGS ALLOW U BUT DON'T OVERDO IT. SIP Water SLOWLY, TEAS, Soups, SUGARLESS JUICES, LIQUIFIED YOGURTS...BUT NO MILK, NO coffee, NO SODAS.. And don't forget to watch ur sugar intake. And if u need anything else pls don't hesitate. I'm more than glad to share. Kisses. Pascale.

Glad to hear you are doing well! I'm on puréed foods starting Tues. I'm not allowed to have naked juice. They told me it has too many carbs and sugars. I imagine it would be ok if watered down? I'm not sure though. I had a rough time having a BM. My doc said a lot was from my pain meds which were Tylenol 3 (codenine) and that binded me. Plus the lack of fruit and veggies. They suggested milk of magnesia. I can't take that stuff. But if you are able to get down liquid meds that might be an option. I can't wait to be in purée. I think we will be able to get things "movin" :) good luck to uou

I had a couple spoonfuls of instant cream of wheat. It was HEAVY and filled me fast, but it felt fine.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
