Man! This liquid diet gets old! I'm 11 days PO and I've never wanted an egg so badly in my life! I'm dreaming about them! I'm SO thankful I'm not hungry but I still want and crave everything! Praying it calms down once I'm allowed soft foods.

My plan is...

1-3weeks PO / liquids

4-6 weeks PO / soft foods

7th week reg diet

liquid diet is hard, but for some people it gets easier, and it can be good to have some liquid Protein options available to fall back on later (I know that seems unimaginable now!!). One thing I did to make it a little more fun - and I was surprised how much this worked - was to set up a little bar on my kitchen counter.

I keep flavored and unflavored powders there, and a row of sugar-free flavor syrups. I know it sounds super lame but it actually makes the whole thing much less tedious! Here's my setup: post-297549-14735078946688_thumb.jpg

That's funny all I wanted was an egg too. I asked my doctor can I have just one. He said yes. I scrambled really light with nothing on it. Smashed as small as possible. It took 2 hours to eat it tho.I only ate half the one

Getting to soft foods makes all those weeks of liquids a distant memory! Hang in there, you can do 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.
