Hi guys.. Was trying to figure out which forum to tag into...but... They're all over the place and not sure of the process...

Anyway... Just got sleeved last week and would love to hear what I've got to look forward to...

Weirdly seems like I can drink like 4 oz at a go and some more like mins lata! Thot out she be more like 2 oz... Weird ya? Though I can only do bites of yogurt b4 I fill up.. So does it mean we can get in more pure liquid at a go? Also I've had these headaches that won't go.. Could I be detoxing?.... And I'm 4 days out 10lbs down! Amazing!

Thanks guys!

@@Aga - good morning.

Detoxing - yes, did you have a pre-op diet? a lot of us struggled through that before surgery. Being that you hopefully on a post-op diet as well the liquids should be a little easier to get in. what kind of yogurt are you eating?

hydrate (sip) as often as possible and watch carbs. make smart food choices and chew, chew, chew.

Welcome and congrats! Yes you can def drink more ounces than you can consume yogurt. The Water is thinner and goes right through. Yogurt stick with you for a few minutes.

You have read all the advice I am sure so go forth and lose poundage!! Good luck!

If you didn't have a pre-op diet, then the headaches are probably you entering ketosis, due to lack of carbs. Most of us go through that when we do our high protein/low carb pre-op diet.

It's perfectly normal for you to be able to drink much more than you can eat. If you do a search for barium swallow tests, you can probably find a video or two of someone doing their post-sleeve barium swallow test and you can see that liquids just flow straight through the stomach in a matter of seconds. food will sit in there and fill you up.

Has anyone tried the new whey drinks with 42g of Protein... Seems quite tempting and too good to be true...

The issue is that your body can't actually process that much Protein all at once, so you may do more harm than good trying to intake that much. It is very taxing your your kidneys. Plus, from the little research I did into them, the TYPE of protein is not very high quality. When you are supplementing protein (not getting directly from meat/dairy) you want to be looking specifically for whey isolate. Other forms of protein are not as well-absorbed and utilized by your body.

Exciting for you to be starting out! Sounds like you have it all under control. Just take one day at a time. Focus on the foods you are eating (lean meats, Proteins, etc.), drink your Protein shakes and once you feel up to it start walking around and excersizing. My first triumphant moment was when I had to go through my closet and donate about 75% of my closet because nothing fit anymore. Now, I am enjoying shopping (just buying a few things here and there in between). Its such an amazing and positive journey. Enjoy it!

      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.
