I'm 5 days out. I drink Water, crystal light, broth. I am also doing sf Jello and sf popsicles. I am only adding Protein to my broth once a day , probably should be more. I get about 30 protein. Can't take my Vitamins I got. I throw them up. Going to try Flintstones.

Thanks for responding. I feel like I should be drinking more Water but I can only drink a few sips here and there and then I feel full. I'm going to try crystal light also. I made Jello yesterday and added Protein to that. I'm going to have some of that later today. How are you feeling?

You will be able to drink more, just listen to your body. Luckily I haven't had issues getting my Water. I do when I have added Protein to my brother, that's when I feel full. I'm not having pain really, just discomfort. I was able to sleep in bed for the first time last night, I was sleeping on the recliner. I have a little more discomfort today, maybe because of that. Had a blah day yesterday, but better today. How are you doing?

I feel pretty good, I don't have any pain. My only problem is keeping up with my kids. They are 3 & 1 so they're a handful. Lol My mom has been coming over to help out when she can since my hubby works long hours 6-7 days a week. But I can't wait to be able to take care of them on my own.

I was the same and at 3 weeks post op, I still have to push myself a bit to get water down, but I'm getting there. Just try to take a sip every 15 minutes if you can. At about 10 days post op, I was able to get Protein Shakes down pretty smoothly. I liked sugar fee Vitamin water before my surgery and now its too sweet ! I know this might sound yucky but I keep an eye on the color of my pee to ensure I am getting enough fluids. If it's light in color, I am getting enough fluids.

I'm day 3...feeling a bit sorry for myself, had to stay in hospital an extra day as couldn't hold down fluids, bit better now and the Protein shake is going down ok...but i'm still very gurgle. Surgeon said was a bit tight from all the swelling and would settle down, has anyone else been feeling a bit blue?

      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.
