I’m doing good I just had sleeve on 1/11/18 I lost 15lbs my first week. My problem is getting the Water in. I’m on stage 2, I’m doing well holding food down and I try not to read negative reports. I make sure I walk everyday. I do notice I go to sleep earlier and wake up early. I pray we all stick to positive thinking and don’t beat up ourselves and just remember this is a tool for a life time and don’t have regrets it’s the best decision we have made for our lives. I just wish I would of made my sooner. Take care and have a Beautfiful day.

Btw, someone mentioned wanting savory vs the sweet Protein Shakes. I found Organic Bone Broth at Wal-Mart of all places! The chicken is delish, fat free and 7g Protein per cup! Goes down well even early on. It's under three bucks too! Score!

I just had my surgery on the 18th. So, far it's going well. I'm not losing much weight although it's only been two days. I would love to connect with other post-op January patients. I am having trouble swallowing my crushed meds because they taste so awful (bitter). Anyone have any ideas on what to mix them with to help the taste?

Sounds like you are doing good! On the pill thing, I have my surgery on the 30th but been trying to have everything I could possibly need lol but I’ve wondered about the pill thing too,,, are you where you can have Protein Drinks yet? I wondered if mixing them with a little Protein Drink would help.....??? I’m allergic the dairy (the protein) so have tried many non dairy Protein Powder but keep going back to one I’ve used the last 25 yrs.. let us know what you end up using.. good luck and glad you are doing well!

I’m actually in Spokane. I like the garden of life the best. And the Orgain is very good and they both come in different flavors I use one scoop of each to make a shake and it’s 30 g of Protein it’s delicious.

      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.
