@@Deanah, very glad to hear from you! I'm worried about staying hydrated after surgery, it sounds like its a lot harder to do than thought!! Are you able to drink any Protein Drinks?

Yes, I'm able to drink the Protein drinks although I don't like them. Drinking Water, too. I'm not taking in as much as recommended, but coming as close as I can. I'm definitely not dehydrated. I advanced from my week 1 Clear Liquids diet to my week 2 full liquids (4 days early) because I couldn't stand it anymore. I plan to confess to my surgeon at my follow up appointment. I'm able to slowly eat 1/3 cup of Trader Joe's puréed black bean Soup. My mouth and brain are much happier now. No real hunger to speak of. Just couldn't take the boredom.

Things are looking good, no concerns from the doc. I was transitioned to full liquids so tried cottage cheese mashed and chewed about a teaspoon and was in pain the rest of the evening. I'm feeling hungry, head hunger I'm sure but not getting Protein and Water in yet makes me wonder if it's just head hunger. I have a constant fullness, I just wonder if this will ever go away

I'm doing really well no complaints. Doctor I have makes his patients to a blood thinner injection for ten days after surgery for pulmonary embolism thats the worst part right now. I realized how much I ate because of boredom before surgery.

My dr had me do injections post sleeve and I also have to do them post RNY. I did heparin the first time. This time it's lovenox.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
