Is anyone else having trouble getting in all of their shakes/meals? My preop consists of 3 Protein Drinks & 2 cups of plain yogurt......and for a couple of days I've missed one of the shakes.< /span>

I've been practicing taking small bites with the yogurt.....yesterday it took me 45 minutes to eat 1/2 a cup of yogurt---then I was full (or uninterested, don't know which), but I couldn't take another bite...and had to put the remainder in the fridge for later. Anyone else experience this? Thanks.

I'm not having trouble getting them in. I need to get an itty bitty spoon though.

Endoscopy and Psych evaluation done...I guess this is really going to happen! I just guzzled down a fruit punch Protein Drink and it was absolutely disgusting! I'm rewarding myself for getting it down with some chicken broth. I gave up sugar and caffeine last week' date=' so no headache so far.[/quote']

I'm also Aug 6th - in TJ Mexico. Today I start my clear liquid diet (and take a laxative to kick off the fun). Anyone else have to do the clear liquid diet for 3 days (or less)? Are the Isopure (clear Protein drinks) allowed?

I'm planning on a last run to Walmart to pick up a few things to take with me that I don't already have around the house. I'll be staying for a week afterward in a hotel suite with a kitchenette. Here's my packing list (for out of town surgery): Nightgowns, T-shirt Dresses, Slip-on Sandals, Sports Bras/Low Cut Panties, Pillow, Heating Pad, Extension Cord, Thermometer, Earplugs, Toiletries Bag w/Toothbrush, Chapstick, Lotion, Facial Wipes, Gas X Strips, sugar free hard candy, Clear Liquids, Full liquids, shaker bottles, Strainer (for soup), Demitasse Spoon, Cooler (for the car trip), Dish Soap, Vitamins, coffee Stirrers (to use as a mini straw), Nook, iPad, Phone & their chargers, Laundry Basket with Detergent Pods, Softener Sheets & Color Catcher Sheets, and my paperwork for testing I had done in my hometown. I'm also thinking of some small board games & puzzles. Any thoughts? Am I missing anything I might need in the first week away from home?

Heading out...last time I drove down to Houston a car in front of me kicked up a huge piece of metal mesh and it ripped out my wheel well liner. I'm hoping I have better luck this time.

I wished I had some travel wed mild mouthwash. The combo of ketosis and surgery left me with something less than a fresh mouth :)

        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
