How are you doing? All liquid is hard!

Thankfully I don't have to do the all liquid diet. I have to do 2 Protein Shakes and 2 low carb meals a day. No white breads or refined sugars. It's hard but i know it's nowhere near as hard as all liquids! Keep pushing! We're almost there!

Well happy happy birthday huni.. Sorry that you are feeling icky.. But look at it this way you are on the losers bench and around for another great year. Splurge a little by going to GNC and getting you some cake batter flavored protein.. Get dolled up and go out on the town with girlfriends.. Hope your day gets better

So I had surgery on the 12th, weighing 304, home on the 14th weighing 316. The weight has been dropping and today I'm 299. I haven't been under 300 in over 20 years. It's so strange to see a 2 at the beginning of my weight.

August 27th for me! Start all liquids today....Just had a strawberry "Muscle Milk" OMG HORRIBLE! Soup with Protein powder next. I hope it is better :rolleyes:

In my humble opinion, any strawberry Protein Drink is the worst!!! I stuck to vanilla an then buy the sugar free Torani syrups to add to them.

Well, it's official. I'm sleeved. I just passed my swallow test and have moved up to Clear Liquids. It sure is hard to sleep in the hospital. Hope I get to go home today.

Praying for all my August sleeve buddies. Wishing you all smooth recoveries.

To my August 19th buddies, hope all went well. One day at a time for recover.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
