Hello,

I had surgery on the 26th. I haven't had pain meds since the 27th not any nausea meds feels like I'm doing fine.

Monday not so much I was confused as to what I did I felt horrible I was mad at my self for even thinking this was a good I idea. I could not drink Water cause it hurt. Protein drinks were also a no go.

Today, I'm feeling better I have lost 18lbs I'm trying to get all my fluids in and drinking at least two instant Breakfast for Protein. I can only drink room temp Water and I can indulge in sf popsicles.

broth is going well, little boring so I just got Soups and have strained than out to just drink the broth.

I hear Isopure is a good source of protein has anyone tried it?

Here's to going into week 2

Hang in there, I had a terrible time getting my Protein Drinks down. I really like the Protein drinks from costco, premiere protein.

It is so difficult at first to swallow most anything but it will get easier. I tried the Isopure and hated it. I tried a couple of flavors and it was so bad I just could not drink it. I prefer the Premier Protein drinks. The first couple of weeks the most important thing is getting in the fluids. Don't be overly concerned about the Protein, it will be easier to swallow protein once the swelling goes down in your new tummy. Try the Unjury... you can order the sample case that has a little bit of everything in it and its high in protein and its quite tasty.

My surgery was 3/25. Look up Chike Protein Shakes. Like Unjury, you can also order a sample of the flavors that they offer. I've tried ISO-100, Unjury & Chike. Chike is BY FAR the best to me... Plus they mix with Water :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
