I was very nervous. How are you doing? I am still pretty sore I think I over did it today. Rest and pain medicine will be my friend tonight.

It takes a bit to get used to. You have to increase your Protein and Water over the weeks. You won't reach the limits so soon. Follow your nutritionist guidelines as to what foods you can eat. Look at (theworldaccordingtoeggface) website fore food ideas. Hope this helps. I did two Protein shakes a day for a long time to get my protein in. Now I do one a day.

Portsmouth here... Having surgery at PRH next Friday!

How did your surgery go? I found the first few weeks very challenging figuring out how to get all the Water and Protein while feeling so full. I hope you have good news to report.

It went very well. The surgeon and the hospital were top notch. Surgery itself was smooth sailing. Recovery... at one week out now pain is pretty much gone, eleven more pounds are gone, and diabetes is gone! An awesome bonus. The program at PRH is really phenomenal... Getting Protein is is really easy, I found that using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mixing it with skim milk, makes an 8 oz shake that has 29 g of protein... 2 of those and the requirement is about met. I'll also usually have a nectar lemon tea... 23 more grams protein, and replaces a plain Water.< /p>

That is great! Congrats on the diabetes. I developed lactose intolerance a few weeks out and haven't had milk since. I drink unsweetened almond milk, 30 calories in a cup. When do you get to start soft foods? Get ready to start the roller coaster as the next six months will be amazing! I had my surgery in Dec. and people don't recognize me now, diabetes is gone also. Congrats!

Thanks! I see the NUT on Friday and will hopefully progress to the next stage from there. I certainly feel ready! I do like my shakes though. I have been having shakes for Breakfast for almost a year now, I will likely keep that up. I often make them with Almond milk! Good stuff!

        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
