Sounds like my day. Except the can sip a Protein Shake all day and never finish 8 oz... and be thirsty and he entire day. Makes it hard to separate meal time from Water.

Plan the meals for certain times. Take your time even if it takes 2 hrs you got this.
I find Protein Shakes work best at Breakfast. They really are filling.
Take it easy and very slow. It's important to get fluids in I got some Powerade zero and crystal lite for my plain Water. It's such a task [emoji6]

I got crystal light too and today I found I can handle more of the shake if I heat it up (it’s like a bad hot chocolate [emoji23]) warmer beverages seem to be better for me. I’ll work my meal times better tomorrow :) that’s the great thing... tomorrow is a new day... to start fresh and fix those mistakes [emoji846]

I’m on day 5 today and it’s much easier getting my Protein in. I struggled day 3 and phoned the nurse. I barely got anything down because it hurt under my breast bone as if the liquid was getting stuck. The nurse told me to just keep trying as it would get easier. Day 4, yesterday was much easier and I was able to finish 2 protein shakes!

Today I had a premiere Protein Shake for breakfast which takes several hours to get.down. I also had about 3 oz of Fairlife nonfat milk - that tasted delicious. Then for lunch I had broth from homemade broth Soup which I cooked carrots, celery and other veggies in. I then strained it using cheese cloth and drank just the broth. I added 1 scoop (30 gr protein) of GENEPRO medical grade Protein Powder (which doesn’t change the taste). It tasted so good! The broth will be my dinner too.

I feel so much better today. Days 2-3 were pretty rough going and am glad I’m past that.

Scdaniec...hang in there. It’ll get better. But if you seriously are lacking in the fluids you should phone the surgery nurse.

Fairlife milk is delish! I miss it. I’ve been told no dairy for the first 2-3 weeks and they prefer we stay away altogether... but I know I’ll cave.

Yes, I’m lacking. I managed 10 oz today counting everything. [emoji30] mainly bc l, as you said, it gets caught in my chest where they did the hernia repair.

Oh they did a hernia repair on me too. I didn’t know I had it. Surgeon saw it when he went in and fixed it. So that’s why my breast bone area hurts when I swallow. I didn’t know that.

It’s funny how surgeons are so different regarding milk. I was told when I was still in the hospital that I can add nonfat Fairlife Protein milk when I add my Protein Shakes. I’m very thankful for the milk. It’s helping.

It may be that the Protein One has things in it that other mills don’t (in a good way). I was told I could have almond milk but I’m scared lol

      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.
