Meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. I'm 3 weeks out and can't tell when I'm full yet. Is this normal? Nothing has made me throw up yet, and I eat just a bit very slowly.

I'm 4 weeks out and I don't get hungry nor do I know if I'm close to full. I have been too full twice!! Awful!! Hurts bad. So now I measure 1-2 oz and that is all. I also notice that the denser the food the less I can eat. If you are eating and you think you should not take another bite. Don't I think it's some kind of internal warning.

I agree. I measure everything. I am on mushy food so I keep it between 2-3 ounces on anything as thick as greek yogurt. If it is a Protein Shake I go up to 8 ounces but that is thinned out. I am always super full after Protein Shakes. The 2-3 ounces of yogurt or cottage cheese etc always fills me up too. I try and have something, even if it is 4 ounces of skim milk at least every 3 hours. My calories are super low but my Protein has been between 55-60 grams. I'd like to up that by 10-15 grams in the next day or so.

Yes me too!! I can eat a whole yogurt in about 40 min though 1/2 cup Soups and the rest is 1-2 oz. I'm not getting very many calories but I'm getting anywhere from 60-79 grams of protein a day. I need to up that about 10 more grams too.

I am on the pureaded food stage and was looking at yogurt last night at the store. Everything flavored had over 20 grams of sugar, does anyone have dumping problems with this sugar level?

I get the plain greek yogurt and mix in a tablespoon of sugar free applesauce and some in cinnamon. It is yummy. I bought some sugar free strawberry jam to do the same thing but haven't tried that yet. You could even mash up a little banana and mix it in. That would be delish. A lot less sugar plus all the Protein and benefits of plain greek yogurt.

I use the dannon light and fit. The sugar is lower, and I've never had a problem. I can't eat a whole one anyway, so the sugar is even lower than what it says.

I also bought the Yoplait Greek. Mine was banana cream pie, it was very tasty and didn't have a ton of sugar like most

I made a whole wheat Hawiian pizza using a whole wheat pita pocket and ate half. 210 calories for half so I won't be eating this too often. It was yummy tho!

        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
