I am week two post op. So far, it's hell. I'm having such a hard time getting in Protein, let alone any food. I'm definitely feeling exhausted from lack of food. I am in the full liquid stage. Pulease help me out and let me know what worked for you. Any secretes? So far organic Tomato Soup with unflavored Protein power is all I can do that doesn't make me nauseated.

vanilla premier Protein pre made shakes worked for me it had to be very cold i would put it in the freezer 20 min before drinking. as far as getting Water in i would mix it with apple or grape juice no sugar added. it definetley made getting my Fluid intake alot easier. it does get easier every passing day.

I had a hard time breathing - make sure to get an incentive spermoter! It will make sure you are using your lungs and don't accumulate Fluid in your lungs. I did and ended up in the ER.

Good luck!

Sip, sip, and sip some more. I used my cap from the medicine bottle to drink 30ml every 15 minutes and then increased the frequency after a couple of days.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
