Oh my goodness... I am on day 3 and feel like I could eat my own arm off. I know I will get through this, but I want to eat so bad right now. I don't know how I am going to do this for 3-6 weeks.

Hang in there! Today will probably be the worst day. Once you get through today and tomorrow, it will be much, much easier.

The worst is almost over!

Good luck!

I've found that for me, using the unjury or other higher grade Protein powder stuff keeps me full longer than just about all of the store stuff.

Experiment with different Protein powders and see what works better than other things.

Sorry, I had to laugh out loud at that comment. I am on Protein shakes 2x's a day (breakfast and lunch) and I am going insane. I have to give you your "props". I have been walking past all this junk sitting here in the office and wanting to fling it at someone's FACE :angry::o !! You can do it!!!

Day 3 was definitely the worst. I was only allowed Clear Liquids plus 4-5 Protein Shakes a day. I usually did 4 shakes, but day 3 was one when I had the fifth shake. It does get better. Just keep drinking fluids. I found warm fluids, especially broth, were better at "filling" me.

It sucks.

That is all.

Hang in there- in the future it'll only suck worse.

I'm day 4 post-op & have to have someone else mix mine bc I can't do the stairs & its awful. I'm forcing myself to drink them bc I know I need but I'm watering them down to get have less texture but then longer to drink. Ugh.

Can't wait for pureed. Hummus is awaiting me.

allons-y

Can we have hot tea?

Decaf shouldn't be an issue. I'm having some right now. If it's got caffeine in it, check with your program. Some don't want u to have the caffeine.

I'm on day six now... Just made indian food for my family with homemade paratha. Like torture but I am dutifully drinking my Protein shake! On the upside, I found PB2- added a tsp to my shake and that helps a lot. Also bought some sf popsicles... Never thought I'd look forward to eating one! Yes it completely sucks but we've got this!!!!

I added some sugar free peppermint Torani to my vanilla Protein shake...little slice of heaven there.

I've got it here now with Decaf tea. Family is eating hot dogs, apple slices and celery. The celery looked devine!

Just finished day one of two-week pre op diet. My doctor has a light diet - lean Protein and veggies mostly. Not sure why it has no fruit. Surprised I miss it after only a day...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
