Sleeved tuesday home last night

Not so great today. Having a very hard time with cravings. Have no idea what my intake is. Day by day right?

Yes, day by day. I am doing better today and find that creamy liquids (creamy Soups and Protein shakes) are going down much easier than plain Water. I also had a few SF popsicles. Those count for at least 2 oz!

What kind of creamy Soups? I thought the were high in carbs/sugar. I'd die for a creamy Soup

Oh, honey, as little as you'll get down right now, I wouldn't even be thinking of carbs! :) I got some cream of chicken and cream of asparagus, from what I've read, they are good as long as you strain them so you don't have any of the little bits. Throw some unflavored Protein powder in them too for an extra boost.

I'm having surgery on Thursday, I hope you're both doing better each day. I'll be having the same struggle soon enough! Good luck!

Cream of chicken, cream of potato, and cream of Tomato have been wonderful. My NUT suggests any creamy Soup at this point, but these ar the only ones I care for so far.

My pain was manageable, but my advice is don't try to be brave and not take the pain meds once you get home. I have gone down to a lower dose every 6 hours and my goal is to be off them at 1 week out on Tuesday. The biggest challenge for me has been learning what a sip actually is. When I forget, I'm in trouble for a few seconds.

So glad you are doing well "sister sleever". I'm going to try the creamy Soups this week and see how it goes. Dying for Tomato Soup. I just had sugar free Jello and put a dollop of low fat cool whip on it let me tell you it was the most satisfying thing I've eaten yet. Thanks for the tip and updates

I hear ya. How are you doing? I think I had a turning point. Clothes getting very loose. Tummy swelling going down and lots more energy. Jello with a bit of cool whip is my go to food when craving. Doing awful on Protein. Going to the Vitamin store today for powder protein. Think that will work better. Also getiing more cream Soup. That was a life saver. Thank you. How are you doing

I am glad to hear you are doing well. I started getting most of my Protein and fluids in on Monday. It was like all of sudden I could swallow a normal sized drink and it made all the difference in the world. I really like the Oh Yeah! Protein Shakes. That's the only way I'm getting in the protein. If I drink two of those a day, anything extra is just for taste. I up the protein on Soup, by mixing it with 1% milk. Each ounce of milk has an ounce of protein so I've been trying to double dip. I still haven't tried the Jello yet, but hope to get some when I go out tomorrow for my post-op appointment.

I must be feeling better because I am starting to go a little stir crazy. I even logged into my work laptop today and read some email, but don't tell anyone - I would hate to break the rules! LOL

      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.
