Get plenty of rest and liquids and Vitamins... Enchilada helps battle colds and prevent them as well. Hope you're recovered by surgery date! Good luck!


Thank you! Yeah, getting lots of fluids, and have started on my bariatric Vitamins. First to see if I can tolerate them before I order more, and to try and get better.

Meryline I'm dealing with the same issue. My doc said to get on antibiotics and a z Pak to get the chest cold done.

Enchiladas helps colds? Soup or actual?

Sorry, that was supposed to read "Echinacea". It helps prevent & battle colds. It's a Vitamin. Autocorrect murdered that hard core emoji23.png

If I eat some vegetables will it cause a problem with me having surgery on Monday




One of the reasons for this diet is to help shrink your stomach and liver since one sits on top of the other for a laparoscopic procedure. If your liver gets nicked it can be bad and cause a longer surgery, making them have you under general anesthesia for a longer period of time, which is not good.
I know it's hard but you have to stick with the liquids! Also it gives you willpower for after surgery being that you will be on a stricter diet for more than this time that you've been on the liquid diet. Try sugar-free popsicles to switch it up too.

For those with gas pain take your stool softeners guys! Once you poop you will feel 95% better!

      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
