My doc sent me home with Zofran and I use it when I need to. The French onion Soup sounds fantastic! I'm just backing off and going with what my sleeve can handle.

I know this sounds wierd but try wendys chili, mush it with a fork and chew it well. I swear it was the only thing that I could deal with for about 2 weeks. I have a wonderful copy cat recipe for it if it works for you!!

I hate sugar free anything, will not eat anything that is sugar free. Look up infused Water recipes they may help you also. I am not loosing weight as fast as others but I am not getting sick either. I am 30 pounds down since 5-11-15

I think you posted on another thread about their chili. I'm glad because I tried it last week and it works! I had 1/2 cup today. If not, thanks for sharing! Things are looking up!

I will use as my base the things that work and you can tolerate. Slowly try new things and add them in one at a time. I would give new foods a week before adding in more. As far as non dairy milks go hemp mike has the most Protein, but it's not a taste everyone likes. In the bean family split pea, lentils and black Beans have the most Protein. You can always puree them and mix with low sodium broth to make them more palatable. These would be foods to help you get more protein in during those early post op days.

If you are having trouble getting in Water try diluting 100% apple juice or white grape juice with your Water. They are high in sugar so be careful. I find a 1 part juice 3 parts water is tolerable for me, but that varies depending on your sweet tooth. I also enjoy water more ice cold so I pile on lots of ice. and even freeze the water bottles.< /p>

Have you tried Premier Protein it has 30 mg of Protein and taste great they have three flavors but I like the vanilla. Good Luck

@@AfitRN2015 I appreciate the tips! I'm doing great today. No more nausea. I'm able to get fluids in easily. I drank an Isopure Protein Drink with no issues. Tomorrow I get to try yogurt.

@@by Gods Grace I've been using Premier Protein for many weeks. It's my favorite out of all the Protein Drinks that I've tried. I don't like Isopure Protein drinks. Weird flavor and too high in carbs. Nothing I've eaten so far bothers my sleeve. I hope it offers the restriction I need to lose weight!

Try mashed cauliflower in the blender I do mine with some Protein Powder and I can't belive it's not butter... It looks and kinda tastes like mashed potatoes. You may have to wean yourself over to it.. Try mixing the potatoes in with less each time. Also have you tried almond milk. Even the chocolate is good. You may need to add some benefiber too. I have an angery sleeve too and found that 5 meals of a spoonful was better - sleeved June 16, 2015

      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.
