Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op and cannot eat anything, I am so over the full liquid stage, everything I can eat makes want to gag! I hate sugar free stuff, and the cream Soup and broths are not cutting it for me. I am regretting this decision :(

I had my sleeve 27th July.

Fully understand how you feel.

Try to think positive why did you want the procedure to lose weight and back gain control. I have to remind myself everyday.

The reality is that It's so hard to adjust and so dammed frustrating. Dealing with hunger wind and nausea.

Suck mints for the wind and nausea.

Don't eat diet foods you are eating so little your body needs the extra nourishment. Diet foods have added chemicals which can upset your stomach.

Don't wait for mealtimes, try snacking regularly. This will help keep your stomach busy and stop it filling with salvia and wind.

And eat very very slowly.

Eat high Protein foods.

Don't forget your Protein drinks like slim fast.

Things to try one weetabix made milky,

Porridge made milky,

Fage total 2% Greek yoghurt is very high in Protein.

Mashed banana

Cream cheese.

Pate

Try a crisp-bread. I managed it. Chew till mush.

You can try these but be careful blend and eat slowly...

Very soft scrambled egg

Cottage cheese

tuna

Salmon

Soft Vegetables

Don't forget to try to build up to 1.700 quarts of Water a day . Dehydration causes sickness and hunger.

Hope this helps xox

I don't think any of us loved the liquids stage but it is part of the healing process. Doctors plans are important to follow to avoid a serious complication. It is a very small part of this life long journey. Please don't advance your diet without talking with your surgeon first.

Me too. I am not a big sweet eater and the artificial sweeteners all leave a bitter taste. One more week and it will be better.

      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.
