Drank 10 oz of a protien shake!



Recommended Posts

I am 10 days post op and healing well. I've had an overall positive experience.

I am however really freaked out that I just drank about 10oz in 10 minutes. I wasn't paying attention and next thing I knew, it is was gone. I hope that I have restriction! I also hope I didn't harm myself. I have no discomfort whatsoever.

Has anyone experienced this?

Don't worry. Your swelling has gone down and so liquids go down easy! Perfectly normal. Liquids won't stretch your pouch unless you're slamming them to the point of pain.

I didnt feel that restriction I was looking for on clear or full liquids. You will get that feeling of restriction when you start puree and even more so with softs. Just be patient.

I had to be very careful during full liquid stage to not get too many calories. After about 5-6 days I could easily eat and drink. I’m on real food now and the difference is amazing. I definitely feel the restriction now. I too was very worried I would be able to easily eat too much.

I just searched this because I had VSG Tuesday and have struggled with tightness when I tried eating/drinking anything, but just now realized i fairly quickly sucked down what was maybe 6 oz of Protein Shake and wondered if I was really going to regret it. No pain so far but I feel a little gurgling down there. It tasted good bc I was hungry and before I knew it, I drank 2-3x more than what had been “normal” since surgery. I was starting to panic myself a little that I was going to split my staples.

Yeah I was afraid of that too. But I am okay! And it's been a week or so!

      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.
