I went to my first post op appointment today. I am down 16 lbs!!!!!!! :D I have been moved to a stage two diet. Basically it consists of soft foods. I was told to drink one Protein shake a day and eat three small meals with 64 oz of liquids in between. I was so excited. I went home and had 2oz of refried Beans with low fat cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. I topped it with a spoonful of fat free sour cream. While preparing I thought this looks like such a small amount. I put into a finger food sized bowl. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!! I had no trouble getting it down. And....... it filled me right up! It took me about 20 minutes to finish it. I paced myself.

For dinner, I mashed up a banana and mixed it with creamy low fat Peanut Butter. Another winner!!!!!! I was so happy with myself that I even cooked dinner and sat with my family as they ate. I wasn't hungry one single bit!

Every day just gets better and better!!! I am so glad that I decided on this revision. I went through such a hard time after my lapband slipped that I almost decided against another operation. So thankful for the support of my husband and family.

Congrats on those 16 lbs! Your food choices sound fab! I'm 5 post op and like you had my fab egg drop Soup today and was stuffed after 6 spoonfuls. I went from the band to the sleeve bc of two slips. Our stories are so similar how neat! Glad you're doing well!

I'm sleeved!! I won't sugar coat it, when I woke up I was in major pain. Gas pain mostly.

They have me on a pump an it was getting the job done. So, they have me liquid codeine. That worked miracles!

      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.
