​Hello,

I am 4 days post op and am still in a lot of pain. I am taking the liquid pain meds which helps, but the pain is excruciating especially when trying to get out of bed. I have been walking which helps the healing process, but since I had a thick stomach wall full of fat, it made the surgery challenging for my surgeon. I am having difficulty consuming the 60 grams of Protein, so far the most I have consumed is 23 grams. Any advice on getting the 60 grams of protein needed on this liquid stage?

This is one way of getting your Protein in.

When I was at 4 days out I was doing good to get 40 - 50 grams of Protein per day. I drank 2, 8 oz unjury Protein shakes at 23 grams of Protein each and at least 1/2 of 1 ready to drink Isopure Zero Carb Drink with 40 grams of protein for 20 oz. In order to do that I had to constantly drink any time I wasn't sleeping.

Find some Protein Drink you like to drink and sip it. I don't understand why you have to have 20 grams of protein in 4 oz. You need to drink fluids to stay hydrated. More complications are caused by dehydration in the first two weeks than anything else.

Your only 4days out.. concentrate on liquids and try to add Protein to everything. You should be able to get more in every day.

I drank and continue to drink Nature's Best Isopure. 40 grams of protien in one 20oz bottle. I buy it at GNC. I drink half a bottle in the morning and half a bottle in the evening.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
