Okay so it had to happen right, a little over four days and I am going crazy! I don't mind the drinks - muscle milk, premier Protein, EAS, they are all pretty good, but they are all sweet! I want something savory.....something that tastes like dinner, not desert! I just fixed the kids macaroni and cheese, and I chewed it and spit it out! Sad, I know, but I am going crazy! HELP please.

Can you have creamed Soups? Warm chicken broth sipped from a mug?

Michele - thank you for your response. I just had beef broth, but it seems just like sucking on a salt lick! I know I sound whiny....and this is what I signed up for. I knew this would be hard, I just can't be snapping at my kids at every meal, just because I can't eat what they do. I can't imagine nothing but sweet drinks between now and Aug 7 either!

I mixed Unjury unflavored Protein Powder into every broth and cream Soup I could find....Swansons hot and sour base broth, tortilla soup base broth, chicken broth, beef broth, strained wonton soup, lobster bisque, Tomato Soup, cream of spinach, cream of asparagus, cream of shrimp, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cheddar cheese soup, potato leek soup, etc... I diluted and strained the cream Soups while on full liquids and ran them through the blender once I was on mushies. And beware not to heat over 140 degrees or the Protein will clump.

Hi there, I am 9 days post op and feel the same way you are feeling. Having to cook for your family and being around people who are constantly eating is not easy. I'm pretty tired of the shakes as well. I ordered the Unjury chicken Soup and it does taste decent, but it's still a liquid. It's just a nice change from the sweet shakes. I find myself being grumpy sometimes, because I want food.

        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
