7 day!!! my liquid diet is for 2 weeks:(

Yes. I'm making my grocery list now. I saw that some people can eat one lean meal but mine is all liquids. Basically, the only things I can eat are Soup with no meat, Ensure or Boost shakes, juice and pudding.

My surgery was the 27th too! I must admit, I failed the presurgery diet completely. Hope everyone’s big day went well! [emoji4][emoji1319]




My surgery went well they wanted me to do 2 weeks liquid diet as well but on a few occasions I had a boiled egg it was Protein and I was starving with a hunger headache but I’m 4 days out and I’ve been doing ok, I’m down 8 pounds since surgery and I was suppose to start back on my Protein Shakes yesterday but it didn’t work out so I’m back to Water and I had a few scoops of Greek yogurt

Hi is there anybody else with the same surgery date as me or anywhere close? I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. Also I’m not looking forward to this liquid diet at all


My surgery was 2/26. I’m doing good - just today I’m introducing Protein Shake in small sips. I’m still in chicken broth, sf Jello, Water. I am healing great but fatigued. My post op class is Tuesday when we get to have some cottage cheese and cooked veggies and learn how to chew and portion. I’m at that soft food phase for 3 months. I’m excited about everything- maybe I’m one of the lucky ones I wish everyone was. Good luck

This is my second sleeve surgery ,
I had surgery feb 27th down 11 lbs feeling real tired, irritated and can only tolerate ice pops and Water chicken broth is making me nauseas which is weird because I love Soups and make and have them often. I’m having a weird pain I’m trying to believe that it’s the gas pain but it doesn’t feel like that it is directly in my stomach. Looking forward to seeing my doctor on Monday for my first postop appointment

Had my surgery on the 27th, still having some right side incision pain, other than that doing really well. How’s everyone else doing?

My right side incision hurts when I drink, breathe or move. The left side of my body feels like nothing happened. I'm trying to increase my liquids but it's hard.

Same! I was on 2/28. I've found that walking and standing helps. I'll just stand and watch tv. Also liquid Tylenol has been helpful. I'm sure these pains are totally normal. Recovery sucks but it will be so worth it in a month :) best of luck!

Congrats I think a class is great I don’t see my doctor until 3/16 for my two week check up. I haven’t tried my Protein Shakes again since they made me vomit the other day but I did purchase the Protein water today so I’ll see how that goes Image1520187938.714239.jpg

        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
