Question one week tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My surgery was two weeks ago yesterday. I just toughed it out. I wasn't even allowed Protein shakes until one week out, so you are better off than I was if you are already on shakes. I just did yogurt and strained clear Soups (chicken noodle varieties mostly) for that first week. I found the sugar-free Jello and popsicles to be pretty useless, since they don't actually provide any calories.

Once I was allowed Protein Shakes and strained cream Soups, I was just doing two shakes and some Soup each day. I was technically supposed to be on that until this coming Thursday, but yesterday I tried a little cottage cheese and did okay with it, so I'm probably going to add that into the mix until Thursday when I'm allowed more pureed/soft foods.

i've been doing sugar-free pudding with Protein powder. yogurt makes me gag...trying some now and my stomach is gurgling like crazy. i will be one week out tomorrow and getting my staples out. i find that F/F creamed Soups are quite tasty and comforting and i have been using carnation no sugar added Protein shakes. they taste so much better than that clumpy Protein Powder crap i bought. i add 1 tbsp of instant Decaf coffed dissolved in hot Water to the shake to make it a cafe mocha flavor. no problem getting those down.

I'm not allowed pudding until Thursday, but I think I will definitely try that out. The cafe mocha sounds good too and I'm technically allowed decaf coffee now. I just haven't had any, because DECAF coffee always seemed to defeat the purpose of coffee for me. Maybe I'll grab some at the store tonight.

Should I worry about the fat content in cream Soups tho? That does sound good.

With as little as we are actually eating, I can't imagine it makes much difference at this point. ZOMG, you might break 300 calories for the DAY!

we were told to get 98% f/f cream Soups. they are not so bad. i just strained out the mushrooms for the cream of mushroom Soup. have not done the cream of chicken yet. i am only getting down 2 shakes a day and maybe half a pudding cup. i hated yogurt before and now i REALLY hate it. just tastes even worse.

      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.
