Oh I don't think I could have done another 7 days of liquids. I am on soft food for 2 weeks. It is harder then I expected. When you think your eating slow' date=' slow down. That is going to be my thought for this next 2 weeks![/quote']

Good advice. All I think about is what soft foods I'll eat next Tuesday. I'd love to know if you eat anything that doesn't go down well - and if you feel like you have about 3 oz of space down there. My stomach feels a different size morning vs afternoon. Very weird.

So far the turkey chili was to much. I have the costco canned chicken breast that I added a touch of mayo and mustard to to ensure that it was moist. I have been working on about 1/4 of a cup for almost an hour. Small bites, lots of time in between, I am about half way done with it. Feeling almost full, but it is settling well! Also, Greek yogurt is a blessing!

I had mine on the 28th too...I am so sick of Protein Shakes, I cannot drink them anymore. I am not a sweet person. Bacon flavored protien shakes and I would be all over that! So I have to work at my Protein intake. I was fluids, 1 week, 2 weeks puree, and now tomorrow I can start soft foods. The juggling of fluids, then no fluids 30 min before and after eating, then eating 6x a day. I feel like this is a part time job sometimes. Not losing weight super fast, so I decided to not go on the scale. I did try oppsies...they are awesome with hummus or pureed meat. I have been juicing for energy. Some drinks I can stand better than others. This is a shift in mind set. All has been pretty good so far.

I was sleeved May 28th, as well. As of today, down 45.6 lbs since surgery and 70.4 since I started in October. Decided to give myself something to look forward to, I signed up for the Warrior Dash in September. I've been having a hard time exercising, so that is my motivation.

Although it's been difficult to get the Protein and liquids in each day, I don't regret my decision. Happy sleeving!! :D

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
