I'm seriously tired. Absolutely no energy. I can get maybe 2 ounces of shake or yogurt in. Or 3 ounces cream Soup. I'm pushing n pushing my Water but it's never enough. I'm not trying to be a whiner but I'm pretty miserable.

I hope you feel better soon. Things will get better, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

I have begun the soft food phase of the program and have a question. I do not see eggs on ether the approved food list or the not approved list. Why? My wife has about four containers of egg whites but I'm not sure if they are good or bad. Advise would be welcomed.

They are on my list for puréed stage. Scramble, Blend then reheat. But from what I can tell is every dr/NUT has different requirements. I would check with them

Softly scrambled eggs are on my puréed list.

I find Protein powders intolerable. I barf them up. It doesn't matter what I add it to, I get very ill. And I can barely tolerate Protein Drinks. I can handle 3 ounces of the RTD premier chocolate. The vanilla makes me barf. I just feel like if it weren't for cream of chicken Soup I'd starve. Any ideas??

I'm the same way. I can't ad Protein powders to Soups, or drink em. They tasted like chocolate milk before, but not now. Same with the carnation instant Breakfast. I tried to to suck one down last night and I just couldn't.

And the protidiets are ok, but same in the nor so delicious now category.

I'm at like 33 g of protein today. Struggling getting more than that. Same with liquids. I'm maybe getting 40-50oz. I'm trying to eat more popsicles. Hah.

I had surgery on Monday afternoon and if it wasn't for my liquid percaset I wouldn't sleep at all and I wouldn't get any liquids in either, it hurts when I lay down, hurts when I get up! So I know it'll take a lil while so I'm just gonna use the meds they gave me lol.

My insurance wouldn't cover the pain meds in liquid form. Nice, huh? Lol

I was just getting concerned Bc I'm getting like 150-200 calories a day.

As for sleeping, I'm a side sleeper and that deep incision burns sometimes and pulls so it wakes me up.

I don't have a problem sleeping, especially with the liquid lortab. I also have set up my bed on the couch. I have a sectional, so I've set up shop in the corner so I can prop myself up a little bit, and it's been great. I'm still too nervous to lay flat in bed. Mostly cause I'm a side sleeper and don't want to hurt myself.

        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.

      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
