I have my one-week post-op class tomorrow and my post-op with the doc on Thursday. I am supposed to be on liquids until next wednesday, when I have my post-op dietary class. Then I can start on soft Proteins. I am getting in about 2 full shakes a day, and about 48 oz of Water. plus one SF Jello cup, and about a 1/3 can of cream of something Soup (very watered down) at dinnertime. I don't know if I can make it a whole nother week on liquids! After liquids our doctor has us do "mushies" for SIX WEEKS!! That seems a bit extreme for me, but I will see what is on the list for mushies. I know it's soft proteins, some examples they gave were refried Beans, eggs, soft cheeses, Soups, cottage cheese and greek yogurt.

On the other hand, I have been back to driving since yesterday - had to take the kiddos to girl scout camp, which is about 1/2 hour away. One hour trip back and forth. I went a little crazy yesterday and did all kinds of errands after drop-off and I was definately feeling it last night. But not enough for pain meds. Just felt it. Today I had PTA paperwork and stuff to do, so I took it a bit easier.

Yes doctors are so different .....I'm on Clear Liquids for the last week ... On friday I go to full liquids for 2weeks

Mine is similar....if ready I can go to purée in a week but even going to full liquids was hard!!! I am happy to get Protein Shakes in!

I get soft, pureed foods on 7/22 and scrambled eggs are gonna be the first thing I have! Why does that sound so awesome?

      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.
