Having said that , I think a lot depends on age as well . I bet a lot of the people who are working out etc . are much younger than me !😊

That could makes sense too, I'm 45 so not a spring chicken lol

When I was only getting 300-400 calories in, I was definitely very tired. I’m getting in 600-800 now and I have a lot more energy. Try adding another 100-200 calories. Mostly Protein, some carbs and fat.

35 days post-op and still dealing with nausea/discomfort after drinking that is making it so I only get about 48oz of Fluid per day. It's not a problem when I eat though. Also I'm only doing the Multivitamin about every other day, which I know isn't ideal, but it makes me so nauseous.

Have you tried having your Multivitamin in between your meal? I have to do that with my B12 but after I eat because I get nauseous but since I been doing that it has improved

I usually take them while eating Breakfast, but I'll try eating a whole meal instead, waiting 20 minutes or so, and then taking them.

I have a mandatory nutrition class today but I don't know what it's for. I already have the info for stage 3 (soft solids), but I've been eating pretty much anything (healthy) as long as its thoroughly chewed, and it's about 2-3 months too early for the stage 4 "maintenance" info. 🤷‍♂️

I will also be testing this out. I never thought the Vitamins would be so hard to take in :/

Mr. Sean, it's worth going to for validation and probably new information. [emoji2]

So does anyone still have gas pain? My surgery was August 14. I have pain in my mid-back, chest and side. I’m assuming it’s gas. Just thought it would be gone by now? This week was my first week back at work and I have been walking even more than normal. I take gas-x every single day.

Which Vitamin are you taking? I'm taking the chewable Celebrate Vitamins and I eat it along with my Breakfast everyday after breaking it up into 3-4 chunks. If I ate it all it once it was terrible to actually eat breakfast.

When I got home from work yesterday i gave my Vitamin another shot. This time I didn't have it on an empty stomach. I ate some sauteed chicken and waited about 10 minutes then took the vitamin. I'm happy to say I didn't not get nauseous or throw up! Progress :)

That’s good . You must have been relieved . I have just been given anti biotics and was a bit nervous of taking them, but checked there was no sugar etc. so far after the first one , no side effects . I didn’t think to ask my doctor if it would be ok - like normal people would ! Hope you can keep taking your Vitamins with no problems now .Keep us. posted 😊

        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
