I have a question too. I'm new to this board so I don't know about proper posting protocol. I had surgery on 9/4. I still can't eat. Everything I put in my mouth makes me sick. I evev switched toothpaste Is okay to just get used to things for a few day and just take Water , Vitamins and meds? Then start Protein Shakes when I can tolerate water?

Yes, in fact my Dr. Said just Clear Liquids for 4 weeks. If your stomach isn't ready, don't push it. Stick to broths, sf popsicles, sf Jello, etc... And chk with your Dr. Good luck!

I went through this for nearly 3-4months! Everything I ate & drank made me sick! You shouldn't really be eating anything this early though. Your only 2 weeks out right? If so stick to liquids, and sugar free pops- if you feel like you have to eat do soft mushy foods, like mashed potato's, humus, etc. Follow the diet your dr gave you exactly!!

I could only sip at first, now I am 5 months post op and can take regular sips now. But sometimes if I chug too much it hurts which puts me right back to "regular" sips.

I am with bbdoodle, I am 3 months out today. I find in the mornings I am really thirsty when I wake up and find myself taking bigg gulps of Water but I regret it because my stomach starts to hurt so now I take small sips but occasionally forget. Just be careful and take sips.

      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.
