Thanks. I thought it was another thread and that was in the pre op thread. My mind is off on it's own tangent.

I think I'm 5 days post op now and i cannot get enough liquids in. Plus am on clears until Wednesday. I am struggling, not gonna lie. So far been harder than i expected but i know it will get better. Especially once i am allowed to get some Protein shakes! It will all be worth it! Take time to let your body heal and be strong. We got this.

Thanks for sharing Jeremy! Can I ask why it's difficult to get your liquids in? Is it painful? Or difficult to digest? I'm curious to know what to prepare for. You're doing great!

I'm struggling with getting enough fluids too. At least I'm allowed ricotta cheese, cream Soups, Jello, pudding etc too but I'm still only averaging about 300-400 calories a day and struggling with enough water. It feels like so much work to constantly sip sip sip. I sometimes forget for a couple hours at a time.

Been kinda rough...gotta admit. I cant get near the fluids in i need. I still cant even tell when i am full until i have a stomach ache. And that is just from drinking small amounts of fluids. Not sleeping much either. How about you?

Longing for pudding and cream soups! Lol . Lucky you. I did walk a mile today in 2 trips combined. Just wish i was feeling a bit better by now. I dont go back to work until the 15th so hoping recovery speeds up. I have lost 7 lbs since surgery so i guess that is a good thing

7 pounds is great. The cream Soups are nice. After sweet shakes, Protein Waters, Jello and pudding. I miss savory food and salt haha.

I'm off work until December 14th. I actually will probably be fine to go back sooner but my doctor started off work worst case scenario if 6 weeks since I get short term disability.

Are you allowed Tylenol? That has made a world of difference for me. I take the pm one at night and had my first good sleep last night.

One day at a time. We can do this!

        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
