I'm five days post op and know exactly what you mean! Only so many clear liquid varieties. I'm really looking forward to the full liquid stage, though I'm sure I'll get tired of that fast as well.

The first stages are extreamly hard. Especially around the holidays. But, just think how next year you will be able to eat some of everything. And you will be thin! It's so hard, but you can do it. That's why we go through this. Hang tuff!

I am trying to keep as positive as I can, but man this is tuff!! I sleep nap most of the time so time can go by fast. So I won't see people eating and being merry... Even tho I don't feel physical hunger it's the training my head part that's hard. Thanks everyone it's good to know I am not alone ..

I know me too!!!!!!!!! Sick of it all, just disgusted by food in general. All I can say is that for me, the craving for food I couldn't eat are much much less now. Mostly I just like Water and coffee and tea. :) everything else is gross and don't even get me started on the Vitamins !!

Are we just going to end up hating food for the rest of our lives or what??

I think we are going to develop a new relationship with food. One that is positive and healthy. These first weeks are hard but you will get through them.

I have been in full liquids for 3 weeks due to complications from surgery, believe me, they fill you up. Protein Shakes, sf puddings, applesauce, Soups, sf Jello , by the time you get to eat the soft pureed foods (today was day 1 for me) , I realized the full liquids is just easier. No cravings on the full liquids, now that I can chew food, I find I have more head hunger than before.

Seriously, I feel the same way. All the good food smells, the holiday recipes I usually make, and head hunger is killing me. I'm 5 days post op, and I can't wait for some real food, even if it is pureed. Right now crystal lite shaved ice from my vita mix is saving me.

Costalchick I started thicker liquids as of yestersay but me too I can't wait to be able to eat some normal food.. Hubby got me some butternut squash Soup which used to be my fav is tasting very weird to me right now... I honestly think our taste buds and cravings will be changed after this ... But I know what you mean and I am right there with you... Hang in there !!

Oh definitely taste and sense of smell have both been known to change after this surgery.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
