Help with Aftercare



Recommended Posts

I have a small sample bottle' date=' but am afraid to try it cuz I hear so many bad things! :) wish I wouldn't have bought all the Protein samples I did either, cuz they are WAY too sweet now. Thought I was preparing, but can't hardly tolerate them now![/quote']

That's what I'm afraid of. I want to be prepared but I don't know what I'm going to like. I'm really hoping you can't taste the unflavored whey Protein in creamy Soups. I'm pinning a lot of my hopes on that. Can you have broccoli cheese Soup?

Yes I can. I bought some but haven't had it. I did have split pea yesterday. I pureed it with Greek yogurt to add Protein and it was so good I added the unflavored to cream of wheat and I could taste it. Ill have to try it in soup tomorrow. I found that the Chike brand of protein isn't too sweet for me and you mix it with only alittle Water or milk, so its a lot of protein without a big drink!

Do you mix plain Greek yogurt in it? What ratio?

I just put the Soup, Water, and a big scoop of yogurt. Was actually really good, had it again today!! I only measure the portion right before I eat it.

Hey guys I am in desperate need of help, I'm having a very hard time with my Blood Pressure running high, I've been on meds for over 10 yrs and until Yesterday I had not had them since 3 days pre op. 1st 2 days after surgery I was getting best reading in years 3-6, it has progressively gotten worse ?? I take Nadalol 40 mg 2 times a day and Diovan HCT 12.5... After 5 hrs in ER Sunday they finally agreed to let me take 1 40 mg a day 1/2 at a time!! BP still way to high??? Go back for my one week check up today and need to know if any of you have had any high BP issues after surgery from coming off cold turkey?? I just don't understand that ? Skinny people have Hbp ? Please help me!! I can't relax and my stomach is in knots over it !!

Does it get better? I had gained 7 lbs of Fluid since surgery , Sunday when they weighed me ??? 4 days after?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
