If you need to get more Protein in you can do a chicken bone broth instead of regular broth. It’s not so yummy (salty...yuck...too much flavor for me) but has lots of Protein, is thin like broth, can be made warm and doesn’t get bogged down like shakes.

I was also allowed thinned cream of wheat or rice in the first two weeks. My surgeon had same diet for sleeve and bypass.

Best wishes.
That sounds pretty cool I’ll try to see if I can tolerate that. I know I’m going to need the protein since I haven’t been taking in much just Water and sugar free Jell-O

I am in the same situation. I had the sleeve in 2014, and converted to bypass on 6/26. There were no classes beforehand, no handouts, no pre-op diet, etc. I see my surgeon tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been doing Protein Shakes, Protein Water, and sugar free popsicles.
I wish you can get some Protein and I haven’t had much luck with that only Water and sometimes sugar-free Jell-O I’ve lost 13 pounds in the last week. And I see my surgeon on Monday I don’t think it’s a good thing

I don't know if this will help or if you'll even be able to read these, but here are photos of the stages of eating I got from my office. My surgeon and nutritionist are considered very conservative and use the same plan for sleeve and bypass patients. I am not endorsing anyone's use of this material. Just posting them for you to see.

        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.

      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
