I'm a week out, had surgery on 9/30. I'm reading a lot of posts and I feel like my diet is different then a lot on here. I feel like I'm not doing this right. I'm depressed, I'm tired, I'm sore and so confused. I do however find relief in most the posts, so thank you...

You'll do great it's a big adjustment . I had mine the day before you . I'm pretty sure all the doctors seem to do a different eating plan but I'm sure they all know what they are doing. Just follow your plan . I'm so tired too but it won't last long. I'm very hopeful and happy . I wish you well !

I completely understand @@LykaCory ... my surgery was 9/29 and yesterday I felt like I'd been hit by a train. I could barely get out of bed, I was crabby, one of my incisions is killing me and I'm sick of not eating and sick of feeling sick. Today was a little better - hopefully tomorrow will be better for you! What is on your diet? I am on full liquids but think that I'm struggling in part because my calories are still so low. Hang in there - tomorrow is a new day!!

My surgery was also on 9/30 and I feel the same. I had a break down today and just cried and cried and then crying made my stomach hurt more. That is when I downloaded this app to try and find some kind of comfort. What is your diet plan right now?

Oh okay, I would die for some mash, or oatmeal. They told me not to do those until 3 weeks post op. Right now they said to do sugarfree Popsicles, sugar free pudding, sugarfree Jello, Protein drinks of course, fat free yogurt, cottage cheese, diluted juices, fat free refried Beans, and egg whites. Maybe you can add one of these to give you more of a variety. I do 1oz-2oz every two hours. I don't know how to explain it but my body feels like it just needs really food you know.

Hum Mashed Potatoes seems strange I did nutrition classes for 6 months before my surgery, Mashed potatoes are a No No forever because the are a starchy food .

The first few weeks after surgery can be really tough. Physically thr body is healing from major surgery. Emotionally a person is dealing with ramifications of the surgery and new frustrations. I don't know if it happens for everyone but I also dealt with the hormone dump for a little while after surgery. Drove me crazy!

It does get easier. Easier to get in the fluids and Protein. Easier to deal with the changes. All the best!

Always, always do what your program dictates. They are the ones taking care of you, and are familiar with your individual case. There are SOOOO many different plans. The only one you need to follow is yours. It's dangerous to make changes based on someone else's plan. Trust your doctor and you'll be okay. Best wishes to you!

I had my surgery on 9/26, my Dr does baby steps, first wee hydration I felt really tired so I started on protien shake, at 2oz at a time and fat free milk, helped get my strength

Second soft, start whip yogurt, pudding, next week will be starting to introduce mushy food, protien, and veggies blended. srcrambled eggs, . Every program is different, so I think it is what you can tolerate.

Good luck on your new you

      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.
