To Make Things A Little Easier.

Low/no sugar added liquids in different flavors. Staying hydrated is going to be a focus and having a variety is good because your taste may change.

I had to sleep in a recliner for the first 3 days. Make sure you have someone there to help you get up. I'm very independent and it irratated me to not be able to get up on my own but was grateful to have my husband there to help.

If you haven't done so already, now is a good time to sample some Protein shakes and see what you like. Myoplex, Muscle Milk, Synthrax and Pure Protein (my favorite) are all popular. Most of the shake manufacturers also make powders in their most popular flavors - powder is about half the cost of the ready-to-drink shakes.< /p>

You can also see my high protein food list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AquBbFV701VcdGZFc2p2Q29QTXIxc0tVU1lxMklBOHc#gid=0 . Special thanks to Dallas for posting it on the Net. Good ideas on there once you're back on regular foods.

I found that I don't like using sippy cups like the dr recommended but small bathroom cups are perfect. I agree about tastes changing. I prefer Water now to any kind of sugar free flavored drink. A body pillow or just some extra pillows is a grea idea too. I'm using 5 right now.

I hate the taste bud change. I lived on crystal light packets at work. Drank probably a gallon or more of it in a 12 hour shift. Now they all taste bad to me except the citrus one. I dont like the taste of plain Water. :( What to drink when I return to work??

I'll have to try some Mio. Any specific flavor suggestions? I never thought about diet snapple. I avoid the soda aisle where the snapple is at my grocery store and Walmart. And of course the gas station is way off limits cause those dirty, nasty, calling my name more and more frequently cigarettes are in there staring me down at the check out;)

I have to admit that I really don't care for Water, so what I do is brew some Decaf green tea with mint and keep that in the fridge. I find it works quite well.

      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.
