I am right with you. I am six days out too and it is a struggle to "eat" anything and by eat I mean drink and by drink I mean clear fluids which right now I would rather just not. I am forcing myself to do this today. It is just a little while longer. I am planning on eating some Tomato Soup when I can move to full liquids on Thursday. I am going to chew my Vitamins now which I am sure will be the highlight of my day. LOL!

I had a very hard time sticking to liquids after my sleeve. I ate a sandwich 2 days after my surgery!! BUT, I was very sick and I think I may have stretched my sleeve. So be very careful. Try to stick with the liquids.

If you're having a hard time, talk to your surgeons office. I called them after the sandwich nightmare and they told me to try 3 days more of just liquid then move on to add 1/2-1 oz of very soft Protein. I am 13 days out have had yogurt, Peanut Butter, tuna and even chicken.

It's important to remember that everyone is different so be sure to talk to your Dr. but all I keep hearing is "get your Protein and Water, don;t worry so much about the rest."

I feel great

I just had my flup appointment w/my surgeon and the nutritionist (I'm 5 months out) and told the nutritionist that even if I could have slept more while recovering, I got out of bed so I could start drinking. I felt like I was drinking 24/7 and sometimes still could not get all the Water in. It was horrible!! Between the Water and the Protein shakes AND having to drink slowly, it was a pain, BUT it does get better!!

Keep the faith, you will get thru it!!

p.s. I also could not wait to chew something, too!! :-)

It's not uncommon. My full liquid stage was 2 weeks. After week one I wanted to throw every Protein Shake against the wall. Hang in there. Make sure to meet your Protein goals as much as possible, drink your Water and walk. Also make sure you are taking your supplements. Your energy won't return without proper nutrition.

I know that feeling of wanting to chew. I experienced the same thing the first week but it went away. I was sleeved 5/29/15 weighing 305 I'm down to 249 as of today. I been enjoying the puree food since I make it seasoned to my taste (chicken Beans, etc) I been cleared to eat soft food but still have my puree for dinner and continue to have my Protein Shakes.

      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.
