Is anybody else allowed to have Greek yogurt? It hasn't been too bad for me with yogurt, Soup, and Protein shakes. Are you guys doing broths at all? Have you bought any to prep for after? I'm doing my last bit of shopping this weekend and want to see if anybody has good ideas or brands. =)

I can only have Protein Shakes, half cup of fruit and half cup of veggie a day on my 2 week diet. Then the day before Clear Liquids and citrate of magnesia. The hospital will send me home with a short supply of Protein Shakes and I'll buy little by little once home and see what I tolerate. :)

That doesn't sound too bad! I wish I could have fruit and veggies. I miss bananas! They didn't tell me to do Clear Liquids the day before but I think I'm going to anyway!

I have done ok with the Jay Rabb Protein powders. Also like the EAS protein powders too. This hasn't been horrible for me. Am going to clear liquids probably Sunday clear out colon and clear liquids Monday. I have gotten a few things for post surgery. Am considering ordering the Unjury broth too...

Thanks! =) I've been doing the EAS Protein Shakes and the Premier Protein ones. I was thinking about getting Unjury too, because I have a hard time getting Protein in.

It's normal to be a bit scared - I was! I mean, it IS surgery. But it's a very simple surgery and I had surgery one week ago today and feel really good. I had a small complication with an ab muscle that bled, so that area is sore, but it's nothing serious at all. I have also lost about 5 pounds. :D

Congrats! That's great. =) I'm so nervous because I had to get cleared by a cardiologist for chest pain I was having. They said I was all set but it still makes me nervous! I'm also very scared of leaks!

My surgery is also on the 26th. I have been on the pre-op diet for two weeks and start clear liquids in the morning. I have my Jello, broth, and popsicles all ready to eat. I will be glad to get the next four weeks behind me. Very worried about getting in all of the Water and Protein. Best of luck to everyone. Praying that Tuesday is a great day for surgery.

I hate Jello so I'm a little nervous about post-op but I've been living on Protein Shakes and Greek yogurt so far and it's been good. Good luck!!

I had gastric band surgery in 2004. I will be having conversion to sleeve on the 28th. I have also had a c section and I will tell you recovering from band surgery was a walk in the part compared to c section.

So surgery all done and I'm in my room. More painful than I thought it was going to be. On morphine and still very achy. Also nauseous so on some meds for that. But I'm trucking through and have already done 3 laps around my wing. How is everyone else?

That's great to hear you are up and walking, it will benefit you greatly. Walk, drink, pee go home :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
