Recommended Posts

@@dawnyoung875 I have surgery May 21. Day 3 of liquid diet....struggling and learning very quickly just how bad my addiction with food is. Excited for surgery though :)

The first 3 days definitely were the worst. I just tried to get as creative with my pre-op diet as I could. And yes you really do see how addicted to food you really are. But being a few days post-op now it was oh so worth it. Good luck on your journey ????

Getting a little worried here. Surgery was on Tuesday May 5...... Still experiencing pain , I'm wondering if I'm drinking too fast. I feel like I've slowed a lot but maybe not slow enough. My incisions are painful and I am using pillow to support stomach when I walk. At the very top of stomach just where ribs open otherwise known as the epi-gastric area is so painful. Is it pain or too full, I'm not sure. 8 oz of Protein Shake I drink a small medicine cup and wait 15 minutes to the next

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Same day of surgery for me too ????

The pain is is definitely real isn't it!? Today has been a much better day for me. I to, slowed way down with anything consumed. I also played around with liquid temperatures. Room temp is easiest to digest, without fear of vomiting. I'm comfortably getting in recommended amount of both Water and Protein today. I use post-242829-1431207238155_thumb.jpgin my water. 16grams of protein per 1 ounce. So I've been just doubling up my shots in my water ???? good luck to you on your journey ????

I've tried the orange, grape and peach/mango but not the lemonade yet. That ones next. It definitely beats that thick Protein taste.

Ordered the variety packs. I think packets I have to mix with Water. All I know is this : I cannot drink another chocolate Protein of any kind. I also have the Isopure protein drinks.< /p>

Awesome. I also use the isopure unflavored no carb protein in my water. Just to keep it high protein all the way. I is definitely unflavored, just adds a very slight texture difference.

Thanks Salonboi , I will check that out also. I do drink the Isopure flavored bottles ( iced tea and grape) I like a lot. 40 Protein, no carbs, 170 calories per 20oz bottle.

Are you adding fiber to any of your drinks?

NUT hasn't said I needed just yet. I assume when I start adding more foods in I'll need. Nothing solid right now going in or out so I think it's the way it should be lol. How about you? Has your NUT or Dr said anything about it?

How's your it going after surgery? Today has been my best day pain wise. I got in all fluid/protein requirements today for first time. I'm very excited about that so early on.

I've hit my Fluid intake everyday And come close to my Protein. I've had a lot of pressure Which is uncomfortable but what's in I have left has been manageable so far. I m just really weak and tired I would say that's harder than he pain or not eating .... Are you experiencing any weakness or exhaustion?

        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.

      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
