In the first few days of my new life...



Recommended Posts

Day 12 since surgery and I finally have energy! still doing clear liguids, cream Soups (strained), SF Jello, broth. The scale seems to have stopped moving. This is disappointing. Are you all experiencing this? It would be MY body to find a way around a surgery! jk

I am 12 days out and my scale has stalled as well. Bizarre to me since I am eating very little... I know this can't be it! I will just keep on going...

2 more days on liquids... Counting down to soft foods.. I can't wait. This weekend was hard bc I was at a family BBQ with AMAZING food and did not have one bite. I drank my shake. Drank Water, had some yogurt and then later some cottage cheese.. That was it. I don't think a scrambled egg will ever taste so good! How is everyone else doing?

Congrats on making it through that BBQ!!! Do you add anything to the cottage cheese?

I just had a Manhattan clam chowder puréed. I had been looking forward to it, but I did not like it. Cream of chicken and cream of Tomato is the only thing I seem to enjoy. I need to calculate how many more days I have till scrambled eggs. I'm so looking forward to the mushy food stage.

@gaelsmom...I have had the cottage cheese with a spoonful of applesauce... And then the other day I added everything bagel spice to my cottage cheese for something savory.. I needed something other than sweet.

Had my surgery Aug 20th. Hate hate hate the clear liquid stage. Looking forward to pudding and yogurt on Thursday.

No real pain other than up in my ribs and back. Hard to take a deep breath. I think this is from the hiatal hernia repair though.

I went back to work AUg 24th. Tired mostly. ANd I am not coming close to my Protein or liquid intake. Hope Im not making myself sick because of it.

I can't have cottage cheese yet. The soup situation is still a discovery to me. I started at 1/2 cup but can put in 1 cup. However I tend to suffer if I do that for a few minutes.

I can drink nearly a cup of premier Protein.

@@theatrejo you are brave for going back in such a short time. As others have said, focus on liquids and stay hydrated. Protein will fall into place soon.

So yesterday was the first time I ate soft mushy foods. It coincided with a birthday celebration and I was at a restaurant. I got grilled tilapia. It was hard watching everyone eat, have drinks and once my food came out, I could only eat four bites. I had to get up and walk for a few minutes. And while I know what I signed up for and why, it still wasn't easy to nit feel down about not being able to enjoy a meal per se or a drink with my food. Anyone else experience this?

        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.

      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
