6 days of liquids and ready to snap



Recommended Posts

I was on full liquids the day after surgery. I had Clear Liquids two days before surgery just to clear out the bowels. I dont understand why your doc would have you not on any Protein at all? You should ask. Doesn't sound right to me. I am 6 days out. I am eating all kinds of things. My doc said the same thing, if it is soft and mushy, try slow and if it is okay, go for it. I eat right now, with no problem - Protein shakes, pudding (sugar free), Jello (sugar free), dannon yogurt smoothies (lite), sucked on a chocolate kiss (dissolved in mouth), fudgsicles (no sugar, 4 grams of Fiber from health food store..YUMMY), creamy tomatoe Soup at hand (that is really thin and yummy!), piece of cheddar cheese I ate in TINY little bites (went down just fine), applesauce, garlic mashed potatoes from country crock with sour cream and a little melted cheddar cheese whipped together (dont eat too much, just a 1/2 cup max it made me a little gassy), stuck my finger in Peanut Butter and sucked it off (dissolved before it went down)...it may sound like a lot, but I really can't eat much of it at all. I can only finish half of the creamy tomatoe soup at hand from campbells..but it is very satisfying. I too have chewed some stuff up and spit it out. I did that with a piece of chicken and a tortilla chip. LOL Anyway, like I said, I am 6 days out and my doc says all this is fine. You may want to try adding some ice and blend it to your drinks to make it a little thicker too. I think you would be fine with applesauce too. Just some ideas.

You should be able to have full liquids by now. Try Campbell's Soup in a sip cup and try Velvety Potato. I had some yesterday and was great and I got full off of less than 1/2 a can. Sip slow and enjoy!!! Try drinkable yogurts and Protein Shakes. They really help break the broth boreness!!!

If you need to stay on the liquid diet per doctor's orders I would see if there is a way you can at least add the Protein powder or Protein shakes. This really helps with the hunger.

Even though the protein helps with the hunger, it does not help with the problem of lack of variety. For that I did use the method of chewing it up and spitting it out. It is a bit gross but it's also fairly effective. Just be careful, it's pretty easy to swallow a bit of solid food that way and that's not a good idea at this point.

      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. 🤞
