The liquid diet was easier on pre-op. It's hard on full liquids on post op. I'm on day six. I had to have food. It was only scrambled eggs with cheese. My stomach is happy. It sent the full signal. I had three teaspoons. I will not go overboard

TRY TO AVOID SOLID FOODS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A LEAK

WHATEVER YOU EAT WILL NOT BE WORTH IT IF YOU CAUSE A LEAK.

IT WAS HARD FOR ME TOO AFTER THE SURGERY, BUT YOU CAN DO IT

I feel u! But....be careful!

I found out alotta my belly rumbling for hunger was gas. I tried 2eat solids...thought i could till i puked...NOT a good feeling!

I started making those Green smoothies (spinach, kale, mustard greens plus frozen pineapple &berries &lemon juice 2hide the taste) and now I get FULL!

Try that. I got tired of Protein powdered meals too....im 3wks post op. I feel ur pain. Discovered the green smoothies work abt 10days out &it has really helped. ????

And not just green....other homemade smoothies are good too...but that green really fills &stops that hunger with really low carb &the greens have "some" Protein. Also found some stuff at Walmart called "Live fit vegan Protein powder" in the baking isle. I tried that in Tomato Soup (eww...too thick) so 2day imma try it in a smoothie....see if thats better.

Advancing your food stages isn't a good idea, but do you.

Advance my diet because the nurse and nut told me to purée in a week. I am officially 1week out

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
