Sounds like you're doing everything you should! I am 6 days out and trying to follow my docs orders. What are the essential Breakfast packets?

I stalled in week 3 too.... but since Friday I've dropped 8 pounds... down to 197

Great job! That gives me hope!! I know it will come off. I really think my problem is that I am not eating and drinking enough. I had a couple of times of eating too much, and now I am afraid to overeat. I need to get myself to eating 6 tiny meals a day. I am also having trouble getting all of my Calcium in because I can't take it all at once. I am a work in progress!!!

I am still on Clear Liquids at 4 weeks due to a stricture. And I'm only getting in between 100-150 calories a day of that some days. I'm pretty sure that's why I had a stall... I'm not even allowed Protein Shakes. I had my esophagus stretched again today and they couldn't even get it as big a a pen before it started bleeding. Don't think I'll be eating much for quite some time

I hope they get it fixed quickly.

He said it will take multiple times.... but it's okay just glad my doc listens to me .... after reading other people's forum's some doctors make them wait six weeks after getting a stricture before they do anything about it

True. My doctor listens and responds as well. Everything has gone so a

Monthly for me that I keep wondering when the other show will drop.

Wow!!! Good for you!!! I'm 4 weeks and only do a mile and a half! Keep it up. I've been finding that everyday I walk I lose a little bit more. If I don't the scale stays the same.

Help! I'm 8 days post op and having a really hard time drinking my shakes. I literally gag at any flavor I have tried so many pre op and post op. I tried mixing it with pudding but that was worse. Any suggestions and whay happens if we don't get our Protein in.

Your body starts to consume its muscle for fuel if you don't get your Protein. Not a good thing. Did your dr tell you to have a specific kind of shake because there are tons of different ones. I use eas advantedge carb control ready to drink. The chocolate is my favorite and it has 17gr protein in 11oz. I'm not a huge fan of the powdered kind. But I've started making Popsicles out of it and they are very yummy. And 20gr of protein.

        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.

      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
