Imma suggest that if you missed reading something as basic as "add Protein powder to milk" it's possible you've missed some other things.

Re-read your materials.

You're not on pain meds now. That could make a difference.

I swear I re-read the same three pages of my surgery manual that covered the post-op diet at least 10 times a day my first month after surgery. While I was planning what to eat or drink and while I was preparing what to eat or drink I would review the options.

You're not alone in the empty feeling, I posted something similar about this in the General forums of the Sleeve section. I am 3 days shy of 2 months post-op and I still don't get hungry, I get empty when I forget to eat. Premier Protein is a fantastic choice, definitely a good pick. I still drink those to this day. You can totally do this, be strong and let that weight fall off of you. Looking at your stats, we're about the same starting weight after I lost for day of and started at 256; not too much more than you. Stick to your diet restrictions until you're given the go ahead to experiment, and you'll be so happy for the amount you drop because of it. :)

Like 22 days past your surgery? I am 24 days out and this week I was allowed to start on puréed foods. I have a little oatmeal in the morning and usually tuna or egg salad. I'm easily staying within my calorie range and I feel satisfied and full. Tonight I put some chicken breast in the food processor and puréed it. I mashed up a lil carrots. I only ate maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons and I'm still full and that was hours ago. Hope this helps

Ps I can have Beans mashed up too. So the retried Beans you had should be ok. Just get the fat free so they aren't full of lard ????

        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
