Hi everyone! it’s been 9 days since my surgery. I’ve lost 14lbs. I’ve steadily lost every day except for yesterday, not sure why? Wondering if anyone is struggling with the liquid diet for >> cause I REALLY want to eat! What if I do? Will it mess me up?

Don’t mind the scale, you sill continue to lose weight.. and stick to your post-surgery diet plan, i guess you are into 2 weeks liquid diet? . You are not hungry, that is just head hunger..personally I took me a couple of months to meet my 48 oz Water intake, but it gets better every day. Now at my 9th month I can drink 64 oz per day, I would suggest to stick to your liquid diet, if you are missing the fact that you are no longer chewing your food, try popsicles, or Jello (check with your Doctor first). In my case jello and popsicles was part of liquid diet.. best of luck and stay strong..

Back2fit — THANK YOU!!! Yes I am 1week and 2days into my liquids only phase, 6 more days to go!!!
“Head hunger” Totally makes sense and is seriously what I needed to hear to help me get through the desire to want to eat! And yes, Jello is on the menu for liquid diet phase!
Thanks again

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
