All I can tell you is that it does get easier. Of course, I know that doesn't help at all. Just stick to it. You have got this!

I did not do this so early as you are. It was really impressed on me to give my stomach time to heal and this is the main reason for continuing on a liquid diet. You don't need complications because you started too soon.

I did the same thing with chicken breast but used chicken broth. Was really tasty. If you get a chance, try "Better than Bouillon" It is so much tastier than plain chicken broth. Each little tiny baby spoonful was delicious.

My wife cooked some carrots, celery and potatoes with the chicken breast and pureed it for me with the same broth and it was really good too.

Elode it was in my diet instructions & hasn't bothered me. I really blended it well with Soup & milk so it was a soup consistency.

Hang in there. The cravings are definitely in your head, but that doesn't make it much easier. My advise is to stick strictly to the diet your doctor has given you. I've heard some horror stories of people who haven't followed doctors instructions.

I was just a week post op this time last year. Thanksgiving doesn't make it any easier. You'll start adjusting soon and when you can start eating heavier foods you'll wonder why you even wanted to because you can take in so little.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth and all the Protein shacks are sweet. If you are allowed, try some beef or chicken broth. They were a nice craving killer for me.

As you see the weight melting away you will feel better and that will be your motivation. Take pictures to track your progress, they help to give you visual motivation.

Lastly, I know it's cliche-ish, but when you get the cravings then take a walk and sip some Water or clean Protein while doing it until the cravings pass.

Your on the right path and this forum was a great help for me too.

      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.
