I think tuna is just heavy on the pouch. But it keeps me fuller longer.

I'm not doing great with cold liquids. I can do My puréed food fine but the shakes and cold Water gurgles all the way down, and I'm just doing little sips slowly. It takes me two hours to get a cold Protein Shake down. What has been working for me is warm liquids. I have been mixing my chocolate Protein Powder in Decaf coffee under 140 degrees though or else it clumps. i have been drinking warm decaf green tea instead of water. For a while I was doing the Unjury chicken Soup Protein powder warm but then I realized it is full of sodium, like 750 per cup so I am trying not to do that as often. It's so weird I used to love to guzzle ice cold water but it just doesn't work for me now even sipping at a snails pace.

Ate it twice and that happened to me. :( Today I did chicken (in a can) salad, and it was so good. No problems with that.

Been a good day eating and drinking wise today, but I have a monster headache! It's one of those headaches where you can't open your eyes. I have been taking my liquid percocet and it hasn't helped.

That's why my doctor prescribe me some because he said he does not want to take the change that's why I said to call your doctor because your pouch is still healing

Yeah, my doctor gave me enough nausea meds to last for months! I used them a couple of times, since certain food smells were overwhelming when I first came home.

I haven't gone # 2 since my surgery on the 29th is that normal? Sorry for TMI!

It's weird, especially if you're used to going regularly. It took me 5days, and then it was in the evening. I felt so much better afterwards, but I never felt like I had to go. My nurses said it was normal, sometimes even 5-7 days for some people.

Officially on my first stall. I knew it would come, so I'm not bummed. I'll just wait it out.

      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.
