that's a good idea ! i did that today i put two scoops of Protein in my shake that gives me 60 even tho it taste gritty its just better to get it over with and not have to worry about it later but imma try 3 scoops next time , do you mix different Protein together ?

is anyone else having a hard time getting in there protein intake and Water ? i sure am and i am 14 days post op


I am 8 days out and it was a struggle at first but now im getting much better at it. I determined that if I used 3 scoups of powder in 16 oz of milk once that was finished I would have gotten in 90 grams of protein for the day. Thats done at nighr beforw bed so I can start on it first thing in the am. I keep a water bottle that totals 50 oz of Water ans still make sure I have 1 G2 during the day. It's work but its possible. Hope I gave you some helpful ideas on how to push it

I'm three weeks out and I feel like I've gone backwards. I wasn't sick at all the first two weeks on Clear Liquids. Then, I started all liquids for weeks 3 & 4 and I'm constantly nauseous. Water , crystal lite, anything but unsweet tea with splenda gives me horrible heartburn. I'm on priolosec and he gave me zofran for the nausea. I guess I need to go back to clear liquids for a few days. Anyone else having nausea issues? I was so happy I felt so good post op now I feel gross. Blech!

Sipping Water is still a chore. Find it difficult to get all my water. it so its I don't know if I'm still supposed to just chug to get the water or what to get all the water that I'm supposed to have.

you don't want to chug water it will make you very sick.

See if your doctor will prescribe Carafate. It will coat your esophageal tract and make drinking easier

I have tried both. For me chugging equals a dump every time.

Thank you, Miss Trish! I will ask him about it. I'm willing to try anything at this point because it's getting to where I can't lay down at night because of the heartburn.

My April Buddies,

I hate to hear of any difficulties anyone is having. I do get nauseated after eating and especially after drinking the Protein. It makes me feel really bad. Not so much after drinking Water. I was able to "eat" some last night and it went down pretty good.. I out eat in parenthesis because I can only get down a tiny amount. But I am thankful for that!

Gixxergirl please take care if yourself!! You've been doing so good, I pray it all corrects itself.

I'm officially 2 weeks post op today and this is the first day I have felt more like me... I'm talking about from a mental standpoint. I have been so depressed.

8 days post OP and yesterday and today I have had TERRIBLE incisional pain in my main incision. It's not infected I had a nurse look at it, but I swear there is a hot searing knife in my belly. It has gotten so bad that even the slightest movement puts me in tears. Anybody experiencing this. I was off narcotic pain meds for days 6-7 and now I'm back in because I can't stand it:(

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry about your pain. My incisions, more so the main incision, is more tender than it had been but no swelling or redness. According to my Dr yesterday I'm healing fine.

Your mention of a hot seating knife makes me think you should be having the site checked, sounds like you are? Praying that it's nothing serious. *hugs*

The same thing happened to me about 13 days post op. I felt like a hot poker was in my main incision. The dr said it was from my nerves healing. Stayed for a couple of days and hasn't bothers me since. I am now 3 weeks out

The actual incision is healthy, just very painful.

        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
