Please follow the plan given to you by your surgeon. Your stomach is healing, and it is VERY important.

I am just so ready for the next stage


I get that, but changing your relationship with food and not letting food drive you to bad decisions is the most important part of this journey. If you want to be successful, you'll quit letting food dictate your every move. Honestly, if you make these kinds of decisions at 3 days out, what makes you think you'll make the right decisions at 3 months out or 3 years out?

If you can't do this on your own, I recommend seeking out a psychologist to help you. You are worth the effort.

Good luck.

I found that by day 9 or 10, I could drink an 11 oz Premier Protein Skake in 10 minutes. I drank a 32 oz Powerade Zero in just under an hour. Now at two weeks out I can eat about 1 1/2 cups of Soup for lunch no problem. I'm not really getting that bloated feeling I had in first week each time I drank anything. Is this what you are experiencing?

No I'm only 3days out nd the smell of food is bothering me.. But I just learn how to tune it out of my mind

It will get easier and before you know it you will be back to a "regular" diet. I'm 8.5 weeks post op and that liquid diet feels like ages ago

      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. 🤞
