Yes....empathy. I remember that first week well. I was weak weak weak......

I was not even allowed Protein in week 1 other than what is in chicken broth.

The next week I was allowed full liquids and i was in 7th heaven. Then pureed foods came and I did not do well so I basically stayed on full liquids until I could move to soft foods. LOL.

I feel for you but it will be better soon!

This is a HARD week for sure!! But...I can remember being so afraid to eat real food!! I was on Protein drinks 2 weeks before my RNY and 4 weeks after. So when I could go to soft foods I was afraid to eat anything. But...my hubby bought a Watermelon and I remembered my PA telling me anything I could blend I could have!! So I thought to myself watermelon is mostly Water and real soft I'll just chew chew and chew some more. ( I didn't blend it) Well, let me say that darn watermelon gave me the back door trots in the worse way!!! It scalded my bottom!! Well to this day ( 3 years out) I have not had even 1 bite of watermelon!! Funny stuff.

I so remember that clear liquid stage. I thought I just had bypass why is my tummy hungry. Then full liquids came and I never thought Soups would be so good. Then on to purees and it was all smooth sailing from there. So, you are not alone. It's gets easier. :)

Had my RenY 9/27 too. My follow-up appt is today. I have basically been sipping Water since surgery. The nausea only started yesterday and was severe along with intense burning chest pain. I am so weak. I'm looking forward to getting some energy back.

Water and occasional broth has been my routine. But I can't say I've really been hungry. I am looking forward to some yogurt, strained cream Soup, just something different! I've dropped 17 pounds since the day of surgery. That has been a really good feeling!

      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. 🤞
