Thanks!! Any little bit helps' date=' I'm gonna be scared first time I eat lol[/quote']

I make a Protein Shake out of whey Protein and vanilla almond milk. The almond milk has only 30 calories for 8 ounces. I have also discovered DaVinci syrups. They are on the internet. They are sugar free, carb free and calorie free. This evening I had a chocolate protein shake with the almond milk and some banana Syrup. It was tasty and helps with a sweet tooth. The syrups can also be added to coffee. Good luck. That's my best tip today.

I have had a pretty bad morning too! I had my revision on 7/21/13. I must say today I have been so nauseous I cannot keep my fluids down. I haven't thrown up yet but the nausea feels as bad as the moment I woke up from surgery...any tips?????

Im sorry you're feeling bad, did your doc prescribe Zofran? It really helps with the nausea.

Yes I'm on Zofran and Phenergan. I talked to the office NP today and they are really concerned I'm not getting enough calories or liquids in... Now they are talking about a possible admission for IV fluids :(

I get most from food. I occasionally have a shake made with instant coffee or with frozen fruit/yogurt. My NUT said to not have more than 45g carbs a day.

I had to go to the hospital 4 days in a row for liquids, they didn't hospitalize me but they did send me home everyday with an iv though. I hope it works out, keep us posted, oh have u tried sugar free popsicles?

I am just past 7 weeks - will be 8 weeks on Tuesday. My clinic has a very limited eating plan - at least compared to what I read many are eating here. I am to get between 50 - 60 grams of Protein and at least 68 ounces of Water. I am told not to pay attention to calories, but I am usually just over 300 a day. I am only allowed 3, 1/4 cup meals a day with no Snacks. I split a 30 gram Protein Shake, half in the morning and half at night. I have found an easy lunch to be a low fat mozzarella string cheese stick. I would recommend contacting your NUT and finding out their recommendations.

Same here, my clinic in the beginning wants us to concentrate on protein and water, we not counting calories right now.

I looked at your diary and I would suggest increasing how many calories you take in each day. Each time I've had a stall I would increase by about 100 calories for a while and I would start losing again pretty quickly. If your body goes in to starvation mode it will start storing fat instead of losing it.

Hope this helps!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
