Had mine Sept. 6, one week check up on the 12th. No problems at all, but I do have a complaint [emoji3]. I'm still on the liquids until the 27th, I see on here, some people say they go home to grits, oatmeal and Soups. I've been sampling meals a little [baked talapia, cabbage, okra very soft foods] when I cook for my family. Am I wrong to taste very small pieces?

Had my band and hernia repair yesterday, sept 14, 2017.

When home from hospital felt like hell. Lots of pain on left side of my body, from abdomen and up through ribcage and into arm, shoulder and neck. Dr and nurse told me it's gas from where the abdomen was expanded and that it should go away soon. Walk more to help.

No appetite, but am making myself try to eat broth, juice, Water and Jello. Nothing has any taste to me.

Hopefully this will all lead to a much better life around the corner!!

Yes, I had the liquid diet, basically shakes for two meals and then a regular heathy meal. I actually lost 13 pounds doing that! Almost made me wonder if I should have the surgery and just stick to this diet. Then I had just clear liquids for the day before.


What kind of shake did you have?I'm doing my 2 week low carb preop diet prior to my scheduled surgery.

My surgery is Monday the 18th! I am excited to get this done and over with and back home Tuesday or Wednesday. I am having the VSG! Been doing preop diet, lost 8 pounds this last week. Using Jay Robb strawberry Protein, can't stand any others at this point and I choose to avoid artificial sweeteners like sucralose as much as possible.

HW 273, CW 242, goal - happier and healthier :)

Two Protein Shakes a day with less than 6 grams of carbs each and 20-30 grams of Protein made with Water. Then two small meals a day consisting of 3-5 ounces of protein and 1/2 to 1 cup veggies.

I'm on the 26th too! My surgeon was very particular for the pre-op diet.... no Premier shakes which seems to be popular pre-surgery.... I can have them post surgery. Pre-op, I'm having 4 to 5 Advanced Protein Slimfast Shakes - they are okay - well let's be honest, all Protein Shakes are pretty terrible - I just so my best to get them down :-)

        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
