Don't beat yourself up over something you can't control, you did not have control over a medical problem with your gallbladder. This his a process and finding what works for you will take trail and error, it's not pass or fail. Many Blessings and Speedy Recovery.

Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced at 9 weeks still only tolerating liquids I barely get in my Protein and Water only thing that I stomach is apple juice feeling frustrated tried a little tiny piece chicken very soft and just didnt sit well. I feel like im not loosing cause my calories are too low I have no energy i just got out the hospital gallbladder surgery just want to get this thing right so I can loose enough weight feeling sad got buyers remorse. I heard of people who never eat solids again can only eat soft foods is that true? Im just depressed sorry for the whining and rambling

What does your doctor say? Have you thought of getting a second opinion?

What about softer foods like refried Beans? That was my go to..I mixed Protein Powder (unflavored) in them with cheese and sour cream. Now I still eat it with meat and parm chips. I also ate yogurt and pudding. You can mix powder with those too. chicken can be tough bc it can be dry. I still can't barely get it down.

I tried refried Beans a while ago didnt sit well but I havent really tried it again in a long time. Yogurts and puddings sit okay but I can only eat 2 spoons and im full for a long time

I would try to stick to liquids or puréed foods for a few days. I'm 3 months out and am still on puréed. I felt like it would never get better too, but the past week I have been feeling much better. Less nauseous and able to eat and drink better. Some people just need more time, and don't forget you had a second surgery to recover from. Best of luck to you.......

I just started eating and nothing sits well. Nothing feels the same as it did. It is not fun and it is not enjoyable. I eat lunch meat and cheese. It takes a while and if I eat too much I get sick for about 20-30 min.

You have had a tough road, I think I would try to just keep eating. Eat one slice of lunch meat. Then when you get brave try more and more. I think the stomach is like everything else on your body. If you don't use it you loose it. Have you ever seen an arm after 6 weeks in a cast? It looks terrible, skinny, no muscle, joints don't move... You are 9 weeks and have not put food on three. It is completely healed by now.

If you are coughing up brown stuff you are dehydrated. I was just like you when I had my surgery in May. I could not eat nor drink and I was coffee up brown stuff. I had to be admitted in the hospital had a very bad case of dehydration and my kidney was not doing good either. However I made it through and all is good now.

      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.
