So each day here seems to be improving. My headaches have subsided--yeah! And not much more vomiting....weird last night in the middle of the night i felt the slime and had the urge to throw up, but when I got to the bathroom and just spit up the saliva it passed--i know it sounds gross, but i am sure you all can relate.

What I need is suggestions!!! I am on liquids and I am siping water...sugar free drinks don't taste right to me right now. I am also doing sugar free ice pops and fudge pops! But that is not much of a variety...any suggestions?

I'm sure others may have more to add, as I'm very new to this (Banded only 7 days ago). But, my menu currently consists of Slim-Fast Lo-Carb, sugar free Jello pudding, Yoplait Light Thick and Creamy Yogurt, Yogurt smoothies, Campbell's Cream of whatever Soups, Campbell's Soup at hand in the creamy Tomato, creamy chicken, and cream of broccoli. My best friend eats Cream of Potato soup and clam chowder, daily(both with all chunks smashed to oblivion). I'll post anything else I think of. Hope that helps.

Hi Canhardlywait

After my surgery I wanted liquids that I made at home you know just to avoid preservatives, so I squeezed fresh fruits.

Also my favourite Soup was cream of vegetables. basically

you boil -1 potato 1 onion 1 carrot and watever other vegetables you like- in approximately 1 liter, when they start to boil you add 1 cube of your favourite stock. (make sure you dont put too much water.)

when all the vegies are tender, put everything in the blender and mix it until it looks like baby food.

then you take how much you want to have and add milk stir it well it has a creamy vegetable taste to it. I was told to add 1 cup of milk to 1 cup of soup, but you can do watever you want. Add salt depending on taste.

I lived on this soup for a while because I had complications I added vegetables like spinach, zucchini, garlic, ofcorse not all at once.

You can freeze it and defrost it later it was a great backup for me.

Good luck

I was banded on Wednesday May 14 and am still on clear liquids. I have been sipping on Iced Tea Decaf and sweetened with splenda, fruit juice watered down with H2O, crystal light. I have also been drinking my Protein Shakes. Today I get to start full liquids. I can't wait to have some yougourt and pudding. My mom made me some sugar/fat free pistacho pudding and she added a scoop of the Unjury 0 flavor powder and I can't wait to try this. I want to eat just for the sake of eating but am not HUNGRY. I am very excited to go to my post op appt so my MD can advance my diet to puree! I never thought I would be so thrilled to eat "Baby" food!

      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.
