My doctor said I was really oozy..maybe that's why I got so lucky lol

I need suggestions on what to eat. I'm on Clear Liquids only and would like a variety of something besides Water and crystal light. I tried a o calorie sobe water last night. It tasted awful

Last night my husband went to my favorite chimes restaurant and purchased a Won Ton Soup, but the broth only and it was really good. I am with you though, clear liquids as well and Crystal light and water have become uGh.

I can't believe how long they want you on clear liquids. I had very little output in my drain before they took it out so I haven't noticed much drainage. What you want to worry about is if the drainage increased or if it smells or looks like pus.

I didn't have a drain. My doc said he only puts them in less than one percent of people.

When I was on clear liquids only I bought chicken bouillon cubes with added spices and put two in about 10 oz of Water and boiled. I liked that much better than broth.< /p>

      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.
