Just had mine on the 25th. So far so good. I am almost scared that things are going to well, and the walls are getting ready to come crashing down around me. 75grams Protein, and 80oz of Water today, and all three meals down, and staying down. Please pray for me to heal quickly!

Below is the tip I sent another subscriber. Give it a try.

Guzzling was my style also. Same thing, I used my timer on my phone. I started setting it for every 12 minutes, and then moved it to every 8 minutes. This helped me get into the habit of making sure I am drinking all of the time. I also used a medicine cup for the first week, to train my mind how much Water I should be putting in my mouth. So in summary, park yourself somewhere, fill up a sports bottle, set your timer for whatever time you prefer to get your water. When the timer goes off, pour the water from the sports bottle into the medicine cup, and drink that amount.......then reset timer. Use this system, and you WILL stay hydrated, unless your pouch doesn't like water........ I am and have been getting at least 80 oz per day. 3 weeks post op yesterday. Down 46 lbs!!!!!

      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.
