How much did it weigh? That's what I've been going on. I don't go over 4 ounces right now but I am really early in. I stay around 2 or 3 ounces typically.

I don't have a food scale yet so no idea. Guess that needs put on the pay day shopping list.

I got my digital scale on Amazon for 10 dollars. They are pretty cheap. It is easier for me to weigh stuff than have to dirty up measuring spoons and cups.

I was also able to eat a whole 5.6 oz yogurt which freaked me out. Everyone said "Three bites and you'll be full." Nope.

Yogurt is semi liquid. It doesn't fill you up as much as things like chicken.

Thanks! So far so good. I'm kind of sad that I had that interview for the promotion on Monday because I would have stayed home longer, but I know deep down that I was feeling good enough to come back anyway. Lol I just miss being home.

Hey all. I think I overdid it yesterday. Was feeling pretty normal so I was up and about all day long. Well, around 7 pm my stomach was really hurting. I couldn't really get my Protein Shake down. Just felt kinda miserable. So I took some pain meds and gasx and went to bed. We really have to listen to our bodies, and not push ourselves to the point where we are hurting ourselves. So my hubby fussed at me a little...I'm pretty sure I'll be taking it easy today.

It is true we have to listen to our bodies. (Yawn!) I just woke up from a lovely nap! Don't push too much.

I haven't had any trouble drinking 4-5 ounces at a time. Well today I tried a 9 ounce drink - hot Water and Unjury chicken Soup. Went down with no problem but now two hours later I'm miserable. No vomiting, but just uncomfortably bloated. I guess I pushed the pouch too far. Lesson learned. :-(

I drink like a normal person and forget to consider the pouch. And it hurts til it comes 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.
