Sorry I meant drink with food.

It's really scary initially to vomit, hiccup or disrupt belly in any way.

I would think 5 min is enough.

I know we cant drink and eat i meant try to drink something before we try to eat. Wait the 30min after drinking then attempt to eat.

Sorry.

No need to apologize. I was just curious if anyone knew. Thought it would be good to know. I've read how when you do stay introducing new foods you can get sick. I just want to be prepared

My doctor said if you get really sick off some thing new then go back to your liquids for 24 hours to give your time to rest. Hope this helps! !

The scale finally moved in the right direction today!!! Not much of a move but I'll take it!!!!

I go back to see my surgeon today, would have been my 3 week followup, still kind of is, since he did open me up and I am still healing from that.

I will hopefully find out today if he is willing to do the sleeve on me, since the RNY fell through... fingers crossed!

I'm one week out and going crazy. I'm very weak. Don't want to sip ever again. I know I'm dehydrated. Went 6 hours without drinking yesterday. Just slept. Boy did I pay for that one. So bored too.

How do you guys keep your energy up?

In the beginning you feel like you don't want to do anything but deep down you know you have to. I would go to the store, just for little things Powerade zero or Vitamin Water zeros but enough for one day so I could do it again the next day. You feel better when you start moving more. You will get short of breath fast but take your time, it isn't a race. Your body is stronger than you initially think. Maybe even getting up to walk up and down a hallway or from room to room if the store feels like too much.

I walked in the mall 3 days post op it took a lot out of me but I felt better. As far as sipping goes I think it's different for everyone, maybe set a timer for sipping so you can remind yourself you need this so sip sip sip. Hope these tips help

No. Only after two sips I get the tightness. I'm completely repealed by food and drink. I know this will improve but I'm getting depressed.

I'm sipping today no matter what.

Scared of ending up back in the hospital.

I think everyone goes through a little depression. I know I did my hormones were everywhere except where they should have been.

My surgeon said one sip wait 3 min take another sip if you can sip again in 3 min do it and keep that up until you can sip anymore, then wait 20min and try again if you cant then 30min.

It's normal. This group is the best. Here want to feel better. My first cry was over a sportsbra.

I have an incision between my breasts so I couldn't wear a regular bra and had to get a sportsbra no wire and barely any support.

I balled my eyes out because I felt it made my boobs look ugly and I had to leave the house like that.

It's funny now but it wasn't then.

The sadness passes and will before you know it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
