Today I had a French onion Soup from long horn without the cheese. I ate a little bit of the bread(it was very soft) that was in it and some of the onions and I didn't have a problem. That's the closest to non liquids I've had. I have my first post-op follow up appoint. I'm gonna see what my Dr says and see if maybe I can start some mashed potatoes this week or something. We'll see

So I have been freaking out that I've been able to drink about 1.5-2 cups of liquid over 30 min period. I thought that was too much. The surgeons said that it was great to be able to drink that much but won't be able to eat that much. So today I made a cheddar potato Soup and could only eat 1/4 of a cup of it and was full!

Yeah I think the thinner liquids go down a lot easier. The cheddar potato is a lot thicker so it probably filled you more.

In doing pretty good. I'm down 23 lbs since pre op. I raked the yard today! I'm still pretty sore around my incisions but overall fairly good! I get tired very quickly but that'll get better. I ate mashed potatoes today. It took me almost 2 hrs to eat a cup. Lol but held them down. I think in ready for softs but I'd LOVE some meat! How about you?

Omg, Heather...I am craving meat like crazy and still have another week of liquids!

So glad to hear you're feeling better and are up and around more. Congrats on the 23 pounds! That's awesome. Keep it up!

That's awesome!! I'm feeling pretty good too! My incisions don't really hurt much but they are ridiculously itchy. I just wanna scratch the hell out of them!! I'm actually gonna have done mashed potatoes tomorrow when we go out to Rainforest Cafe for my nieces birthday. Not many other options!! I can't wait for meat!!! I feel like a savage!!

I really can't believe the small amount of food that makes me full. It's definitely gonna be an adjustment!

      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
