Congradz! Yes I'm always shrinking and excited for that. Craving food like steak <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> you having any strange cravings? I know im far far away from having that with all the food stages. I bet our tummies feel tight or something because of swelling? I really just feel sore type pains now

I was sleeved on 7/30 and am also craving meat of any kind. I want to devour a steak or chicken breast! Well, that and Mac and cheese, oh no!

The funny thing is there are things that "sound good" but I am not dying to get them. Before surgery however I wanted to jump through the tv screen anytime a commercial came on for food :)

I am going to admitthat I have experimented with softfoods already. I am on a 2 week liquid and was dying. I was intaking 90 oz of Fluid (no joke - oncluding the shakes and soup) and 60 grams of Protein and was having hunger. I had a movie date with my nephews and they wanted Chinese. The lady did not charge me. I ate broth, a small piece of crab, a small puece of chicken, and a quarter of a small chicken meatball. And I felt Full. Satisfied full. No pains, no discomfort. Just blessed relief! Lol. And it was not enough to keep a baby alive! Lol. I chewed everything into a pulp and everything was super soft. I have been reading this forum and some people sleeved only days before us are on soft foods already. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

PS: hummus and mac n cheese would e amazing!

Did every one on here get sleeved on 7/31?? And your eating regular food? ?? I am still on liquids and some puréed food.

I was sleeved 7/30. Week 1 Clear Liquids, week 2 - 3 full liquids, week 4 puréed and week 5 soft foods. To be honest though I am considering bumping up puréed to week 3 and softs to week 4. I feel like a rebel but am struggling on liquids. It appears surgeons are so different. I'm not wanting to fight the system, just want to feel normal.

My hospital's program is over-cautious (their own words) so two weeks post-op is liquids. I have been on liquids for a time before surgery too so I think that caused my need to experiment. Plus, I would bot recommed it if you are not etting plenty of fluids and Protein as is.

        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
