What does you dr say? In my opinion.. No Cheerios. Your staple line and stomach is healing and anything but liquid is not a good thing. If you need to chew on s/f Popsicles. Hang in there and be wise.. This will pass and you'll be well on your way

He wants me on liquids 3 weeks. :( :(

Liquids is HARD!!

How about Jello? That's considered liquid.

Does he count sugar free Jello as a liquid? If so that might give you the sensation of something of substance...

You just have to do what you have to do..

That means following your doctors orders.

I know it's hard but you need to look at this part as NOT A DIET, it is making sure you stomach heals from major surgery. Just think about the fact that they went in there a couple of days ago and cut and burned off most of your stomach then stapled it back together threw a couple of stitches in and now are waiting for it to heal back together and over the staples...

definitely stay away from the cheerios!! i know it's hard on liquids. are you getting any Protein in? the Protein will help keep hunger away. try a Protein shake if you haven't already. i honestly don't know if you are experiencing TRUE hunger or not, sometimes when you feel hungry, you are actually thirsty. also, there is a TON of "head" hunger going on at this stage. I still experience that too.

Cheerios at this stage could probably really hurt you :( don't want you having to deal with that!! it'd be much worse than hunger!

Just goes to show how each Dr. is different. Mine just cleared me for full liquids (purees) today. I'm 1 week post op. I can totally relate to your misery as the clear liquid phases (pre and post op) were really, really hard for me and I was actually allowed to do Protein Shakes. Hang in there.... :wacko:

Okay :( My husband froze some of my Protein Shakes in ice cube trays, then blended them...it wasn't the best but it felt like something other than liquids, try it with other liquids too!

First, you aren't really starving...most likely you have something called head hunger. This is tough and you really need to stick to the Drs. plan as it will allow you to heal. Second, are you taking a PPI? Gas build up and acid in the stomach area can feel like hunger but it really isn't. Lastly Cheerios are really bad food, so please avoid them if you can. Be patient and keep busy, try walking since you are only a couple of days PO. You will get past this, but it takes a bit of effort on your part. Hang in there.

        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
