Those on liquid diet, do you know about how many calories you are getting a day. Mine is quiet low. I think my body is hanging onto what it has. Or those of you that were on the liquid diet feel free to chime in.

If I get in 300, it's a good day.

I had high hopes that RNY would either help or cure my IBS, but alas I woke up to a major flare up today. :( I'm so so disappointed.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did the Dr say how long it would take for it to clear up? Cuz right now for the first couple months we have so many changes in out diets going from liquids only, puréed. Did you Dr tell you if that would make a difference and u could have flare ups

I average 300 too which I thought was too low, but I guess not. I guess it is pretty common. I am able to eat a yogurt in one day (today first time). I think I've noticed a lot less gas today too. Other than the yogurt being quartered up into 4 meals today, I haven't had any other milk products today. Need to talk to Dr about using coconut milk again.

The doctor never said it would help with the IBS, I just thought with having a bit of my small intestine bypassed I could get lucky and that be the part that gets so pissed off, apparently not so lucky.

I had the same concern (I'm out a week). I asked my dietician today and she said that one time will not stretch out the pouch. If we stuff it consistently' date=' then the long term outlook of losing and maintaining is at stake.[/quote']

I wanted to thank you for your reply. That is helpful information so I could stop worrying! :-) I won't do that again!

      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
