I’m 21 days post-op from VGS..I have been on purée phase since day 14 (to go to day 30). I have been drinking my pre-op shakes still and doing a little purée, but honestly, I’m just not hungry. It takes everything most of the time for me to want to eat. Anyone else dealing or felt like this around this time?

Starting W: 268
Day of Surgery W: 253
Today’s W: 234

Embrace this time. Don't eat! Get ALL of your fluids in and MORE!!! And do what you need to meet your 60g of Protein requirement. That's non-negotiable. 2 Premier Proteins and you're done. Boom baby! Then go about your life as normal!

Don't force yourself to eat. You can make it on fewer calories and Protein Shakes. Enjoy this losing phase.

Stalls happen. Don't up cals or lower them. Just focus on meeting your Protein goals and following your doc's rules!!

I have my post-op surgeon visit tomorrow. Most (if not all) rules have been by my NUT/team. I have followed their book, except eating those little meals. I get all my Protein a day (shakes aren't the problem) and am hydrated! I will keep the course, no matter what! Thanks!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
