Day 8 and I'm doing amazingly well.. Thanks for all the support and new updates they are so helpful.. I'm still having a very hard time getting my 64oz of Fluid a day and definitely having a hard time eating. I'm not hungry and can't seem to make myself eat.. I'm definitely taking all my vitimins. I think I will go to GNC and get some Protein Shakes maybe this will help out

It's awesome that you're listening to your body' date=' getting in all your liquids and seeing a loss. I'm not getting in all the liquids and Protein, afraid I will overdo it and either dump or stretch my stomach. I'm sure it has an effect on my energy levels-so today I'm going to make sure I walk walk walk and sip sip sip!![/quote']

How are you doing with your fluids today?! Some days are sure harder then others! I don't think I am going to make it today! First day back to work and h2o was not on the brain!

I'm on Liquids. I have been afraid of other Soups because of the creaminess-so scared to dump' date=' but I'll get some and maybe thin them out at first to see how we'll I can take them. Thanks for the tip![/quote']

I liked the cream of broccoli! Not so much with mushroom but a definite relief form the normal!

That's great to hear I haven't had any Protein yet still clear liquid diet. Ouch staples sounds hard! I don't have any (just steri strips) I wish I had something to compare the pain to its crazy. And did you figure out the forms piece? Sorry just seeing this. The support is amazing' date=' I like 5 from family it's a mess! But here and Instagram have been awesome![/quote']

Yes I figured it out thanks! How much longer do you have on liquids? My doc only requires two weeks and by the end it got pretty boring! Good luck!

I'm just going into my second week and I am still restricted to 2-3 oz at a time so I can't be very helpful in this area. I'm interested in the responses that you get though. I had a revision and I may still be experiencing some swelling inside causing me to be so limited.

Keep us posted!!

My nut told me everyone is different in the amount they can eat and said I am on target with 1/2 cup-1 cup! Seems like a lot but that's what I was told! I also started soft foods and am completely surprised how well I am tolerating the non-liquids! Also I am down 18 pounds from DOS on 2 week post op!

What does gas pain feel like? My pain radiates around my midsection and bubbles a bit internally. I've been walking a lot but the pain and soreness only stays midsection. Is this gas pain? Btw, still in the hospital. Had bypass Tuesday and a correctional surgery today this morn.

Wow, I see all of you that just had surgery and are already on purred or sorts. Surgery was Monday,just got to come home today, I wasn't hungry at all in the hospital and now I want to eat everything. :( im on clears for another week, then full liquids for two weeks, then purred for a month then finally... Real food. My back and neck are hurting worse than my incisions but that's just from being in that bed for so long. Hope this finds everyone doing well!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
