i bought some meal substitutes from the Dr's office too. but these are much better. i did talk with the dietian before i used them since they said it was important to stick with there diet to reduce my liver. she said it was fine. i like them in the blender so i can crush the ice in them, much better and filling to me. the Jello and extracts give them flavor and body :biggrin:

my doc's office doesn't sell anything like that. the nutritionist i saw where i had surgery (and ironically work) gave me a list of different Protein powders and the prices at Walmart, GNC and i think a local grocery store just so some patients have a frame of reference. i was so thrilled last night...i had really smooth egg salad. and it tasted heavenly!!

hope everyone is doing well!!! take care!

One week out and feeling really good, glad I took the extra time off work. :smile: Hope everyone is doing well. I did have a bad day yesterday just felt like I needed some meat!! Hubby helped, made me a Soup, it was great and just what I needed. Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Those of you waiting to go, it isn't as bad as you think. Hang in there! I am having some left shoulder pain from time to time, MD says it is referred from the line and port, so anyone experiancing this type of pain a few days post, it is normal and will go away. Mine is already better. :mad2:

I'm so afraid to shower. I know I can but I just don't want to. How long does it take to get to the point where you feel like it's ok to sleep regular, like on your side? I'm just so ancy to feel physically normal again and it's only been about 3 days.

I have slept on my right side since the first day. Took about a week before I could sleep on left side without feeling a little pain. Now I am pain free and sleep great.

Don't be afraid to shower, you will feel so much better. I can't wait until Monday and I can then soak in a tub ( 2 weeks since surgery then ).

Tomorrow I get to start real food again. Anyone else just starting reg food? I was told to stay between 600-800 calories still. I cant decide what to try first. I havent lost any weight this past week, once I started mushies. I am hoping that my body will start letting the weight go soon. I dont really have any restriction, but have my first fill appointment in 2 weeks.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
