I had surgery on the 18th and im on my 5 day liquid diet, im scared to sip to much, how much is to much??

To be honest everyone is different. I started with those 1 oz medicine cups they gave you at the hospital. I drank out of those for probably a week drinking one of those cups half at a time. I would sip half the shot cup and then waited a min and drank the rest. I am able to drink quite a bit at one time but there are others that can't drink as much as me at one time so you just have to sip a little more a little more at a time to see how much is too much. Don't push it of course cause you don't want to make yourself sick. Start with the shot glass/medicine cup and drink half at a time waiting a min or so before you drink the other half and then when you feel like you are ready or you want to try, drink the whole shot glass at one time. I got over those quick and I was thirsty all the time so I started using a small kids cup and would just sip it and them eventually was drininking it. Just listen to your body and take your time. I haven't really been afraid to try things to see what would happen cause that's what you are going to have to do eventually to see how you react to things and I have been lucky with it thank god. Hope this helps. Again baby steps, listen to your body but don't be afraid to try. Good luck and you can ask me anything anytime. :)

Thanks for sharing. I think we all get in similar mindset of is it worth it, will it get better, will I have more energy ect. Thank you for reminding us that it does get better and better and better.

You are very welcome. I want to remember how I felt and do feel and make sure to come on here and let others know it's normal to feel certain ways and just because some people won't admit things, bad or not, others do have the same feelings as you and it's ok. I will always be honest about how I feel no matte who agrees.There has to be at least 1 person out there that feels the same way I do so I am not alone. :D

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
