My surgery was March 18th and I had a Protein shake yesterday 2 oz. of greek yogurt and chicken broth for dinner. It's amazing after only a few days! You are doing great if you are already doing the pureed stuff

I actually had a BM on day 2 so they wanted me to try to Protein Shake and yogurt before I left

I have since had 4 oz of a Protein shake this morning and everything has been fine! You will be fine

Just sip slowly. I also only made the 4 oz and it took me like 25 min to drink it all.

I had same problem, so I try 30ml every 15 min. It helped. Also very ice cold Water goes down better. I didn't like ice water before lol. I have to return my Unjury Protein the chicken Soup was good before but now I can't stand it!

My surgery was March 13, and I have been having Protein shakes, yogurt, Jello, chicken broth since day 2. I am allowed to start trying some puréed foods tomorrow, so will start with a very lightly, runny scrambled egg, and maybe some cottage cheese. I had hiccups the night of my surgery, and thought I was gonna die!! I haven't had them since. You might be going too fast on what you are eating. Your body may not be able to process that yet.

As for Protein Shakes, I love them, and mix up a blender full almost every morning, and drink on that all day. It helps me feel more energetic. I feel great, overall! I hope you can get rid of the hiccups, and get your fluids in! Good luck!!!

      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
