I'm two weeks post op today and am soooo tired of protien shakes. Tommorow I start puréed foods. I am still having trouble sipping. I get thirsty and so i gulp too much at a time and feel miserable. This has gotta get better. Ooh and left side is still sore. I have lost 16 pounds so far in exactly two weeks. I thought it would be more because I prolly only do about 250 cals a day!

I am 1 week postop and staying at moms. Couldn't stomach the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes at Hosp or the lemon tea Protein supp I had for after discharge. Smells and tastes nasty. At this point I am on liquids and no Protein unless in some if the Peanut Butter or baby food I seem to be able to get down a little. Someone should really work on this stuff....

As much as you hate the shakes you MUST drink them it is VERY important to get your Protein to sustain life.

I could not drink them after surgery. In fact it was not until 7 months later that I can stand them. I had all the side effects of lack of Protein. Trust me it is much better to get your protein in. I found a protein that I can mix with 4 oz of liquid. I get my protein in and can drink it in one gulp.

I just made Protein pudding, using 2 cups of skim, 2 scoops of Protein Powder, and 1 small box of SF pudding. It's really yummy, and I think u can get 6-8 servings out of it.

      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
