I have felt like this. My doctor said that its normal. But not to try to eat more. So basically what I did was eat Greek yogurt in a blender with a banana and almond milk unsweetened and with ice. It hit the spot. Felt thicker and made it better. Also I had some cream of mushroom Soup and it made it better. Good luck. It's part of the process.

Less than 24hrs left b4 surgery! I think I'll wash & detail my car for the 3rd time again this weekend.

Good luck and prayers on your surgery. Too bad you do not live in Columbus cause my car could use detailing! :-)

I did the same thing- the last thing I did was down a big bottle of water. I knew it would be a long time before I would be able to do that again. Good luck tomorrow :)

      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.
