My starting weight was 275 , and the day of surgery I was 263 . I am currently 255 . I am now on my puree diet and I am struggling with getting my fluids in ! I have the whole bad breath thing going on probably due to dehydration. . I get naaeaous anytime I drink anything whi,h makes it harder to consume . . I am getting discouraged because it's hard work !! But I keep pushing myself and saying everything will be okay . . Currently down 20 pounds since I started so that's my motivation . . Any tips on how I can consume more liquids ??

My doctor suggest phase 1 foods are soft and high Protein. 1 egg scrambled, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup refried Beans with 2 table spoons shredded cheese. These are just a few things. Try only one new food each day. Avoid any spicy seasoning. I'm 16 days out. I tried a scrambled egg 13 days post op and the pain was terrible! After that initial problem I have been doing pretty good. I just cannot drink or sip Water without terrible cramping and pain.

Yeah I was warned that  eggs . At be difficult so I haven't tried that. . Also I cramp up alot whenever I drink  Water it is terrible . I get maybe 20 ounces in a day :/

Try different temperature Water if it's cold try warm etc it's normal to have this issue this early on it usually comes rite I was terrible at the start now I can drink all temperatures fine now

I found yogurt and scrambled egg good to eat also had some cup a Soups

This shall pass be strong you'll be out the other side before you know it [emoji4]

I agree with Dlhandel. I am only 7 days post, but for the first 4 days I couldn't get anything in. Almost hot Decaf herbal tea really helped. Now at 7 days..This am I tried a poached egg. Was delish and I was able to get 1/2 down. No cramping or pain so far.

I could eat at that stage and even now 6 weeks later. Cottage cheese, hard boiled egg pureed with mayo, popsicles, Water sipping, shakes sipping, tuna pureed with mayo. Applesauce, yogurt. No more than 1 11/2 ounce or 2 ounces.

      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.
