I'm allowed Clear Liquids only until the 8th day, so clear liquids wouldn't include Tomato Soup but you could have apple, grape juice watered down, Jello, ect

Hi canned broth is gross! Yuck! Do homemade if you can or Some people go to a local restaurant and by a brothy type Soup to go and ask for mostly broth then strain it, that's good too.

No sugar added Luigis Italian ice. Ugh so good and better than Popsicles.

Oddly enough I've discovered my local hospital has amazing beef broth. Go figure...

My husband ordered pizza, mini pepperoni rolls and cheese sticks. Probably my favorite bad meal. My mouth watered but I wasn't really hungry. Milk and Protein Shakes REALLY helped. I don't know how your surgeon suggests food but I was allowed 4oz of milk on days 8 and 9 then onto Protein shakes. It was the first sense of fullness I've felt.

I've been doin Water and Protein Shakes since surgery. Tried skim milk Thursday and my belly rumbled crazy! I Luv Edy's sugar free pops and yes I got Italian ice also. I work in a hospital and yes their broth is tasty!

Although I have a delayed "dumping" feeling when I swallow. Then I either burp or hiccup. Is this because my belly is still new?

My doctor has me on what's called a "Modified Full Liquids" which is Protein Shakes and hydrating liquids. I'm allowed Tomato Soup. And it has been AMAZING. It's been a little chilly here and I'm loving the hot, thick Soup in my belly. I sometimes have to be slow about it cause my esophagus will spasm, but it's so worth feeling it go down and the taste. I'm craving grilled cheese, but not to the point where I'm ready to die for it. And it's fat free.

This is my post op day 5. I am not hungry per say but I think I just want to chew. Any suggestions on how to fulfill this urge with out "eating" ? Going for a walk when grandkids get up and l know will help for a while. Distraction is my goal- but there has to be something else to try.

sugar free popsicles are a great way to "chew" something. And they count as a "hydrating fluid"

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

      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
