So today Im 5 days post op. I can’t really bend and have to move slowly because one of the incisions is causing alot of pain but it has gotten better. Today i weighed myself and I lost 18 lbs in 5 days! Im really in shock and cannot believe it. My rings no longer fit me. Im drinking 2 shakes a day trying to do 3. Drinking lots of Water and I eat chicken broth once a day. I have Jello but only really ate it one time. I also have been having sugar free popsicles which have helped me with nausea ( no more than 2). I feel good so far I feared that because of the lack of calories i would be weak but surprisingly I get up early and have lots of energy! I can’t wait to start going to the gym!! I have been having alot of cravings of even stuff i wouldn’t eat before. I think once i can eat food i would be good in making the healthier choices but being around food and seeing food when you cant eat it boyyyyy it is a test! But, seeing the scale today has kelt me motivated and I will not ruin this! P.s What did you guys eat/drink your first two weeks??

Just Protein Shakes. Drank some Pho broth. That was amazing. I couldn't do the broth like beef or chicken. It was to plain for me. Averaged about 60 to 80 grams of Protein a day.

Yes. The one by my house is amazing. It changed everything for me. It was my dinner for a week. Lol. Now in suppose to be on purred foods but everything has been going great so I'm doing soft foods. My next apt is on Friday. So I hope he doesn't get to mad at me. I've done what everyone said. Dont push it and pay attention to ur stomach which I do.

Congrats!

Today is Day 6 post-op for me. I'm doing great. No/little pain, able to bend and squat, am walking every day. I eat Protein Shakes, liquidy yogurt, broths. I'm getting in about 74g Protein, 20-25g carbs, and around 400-450 cals per day. I'll have 1 sf Jello, and 2 servings of broth, sometimes 4oz of V8 with lime and celery salt. Pho broth sounds delish! I'm doing fine on my liquids...but I'm very ready to have purees! I have no problems swallowing--even big swallows. I see the doc on Thursday, but I bet I have to continue until Tuesday a week before I get to progress to purees.

Day 8 for me. I can have Gatorade so I drink 12 oz of that a day. I do 16 oz of broth a day with two scoops of Unjury chicken flavor Protein Powder (42 oz of protein). I drink one Muscle Milk pro a day which is 32 oz of Protein. And Water.

Am losing about a pound a day.

      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.
