I was banded on the 17th and i am miserable as well! I wish I wanted food. I don't want anything but to crawl up and die! I have soooo much nausea! I want to throw up ALL the time. I ve lost 37 pounds in 16 days and I dont even care.

Call your doc ASAP ! Seriously. There are drugs to give you to help that, and if you DO vomit this early in the game you MAY (note I said MAY) do damage to your healing band. Don't just suffer, call your doc.

Thanks John! Not suppose to be on mushies yet. BUT, I actually ate a little cream of wheat this morning and it seems to be helping a little.

so glad you posted this thread. I was banded on the 19th. Today is the first day I have felt like having anything at all. I took broth from progresso veggie Soup and at that warm which helped. I imagine I am going to feel the same as you in a couple more days...HUNGRY lol. Now if I could just get rid of this gas pains...I have been walking, taking my gas-x strips, using the heating pad, and putting my arms over my head...any other suggestions? My hubby mad frozen pizza for dinner last night...never thought I would be jealous of the smell lol

If I never see another Protein shake again, it will be too soon! Fortunately I have found a way to get my Protein in without drinking another shake.

Isopure is a clear Protein Drink that comes in lots of flavors. My fav is Blue Raspberry. the 20oz bottle has 40g of Protein. I buy it at GNC.

unjury makes a chicken broth flavored Protein powder that has 21g of protein per scoop. A lot more than just a cup of regular chicken broth. I'm at the mushie stage now, so I add it to mashed potatoes and blended Soups to increase the protein count. You can order it online at unjury.com

I get my protein in by drinking Isopure Protein Drinks as well. My favorite is Apple Melon and Peach Mango. I also add some crystal light to it to give it a kool-aid mixed flavor:biggrin:..I get mines from Vitamin World.

If it makes you feel better.. I had my surgery on Thrusday the 18th.. had to do Clear Liquids until Sunday (yesterday) and i get to eat Proteins a cooked vegis for the next 30 days. We aren't allow any carbs for 30 days... Anyway I ate cottage cheese today and hit hurts and is making me feel sick. I would rather be on liquids if I am going to feel like this eating...So hang in there. I think your dr's way is better then allowing to eat 4 days out.

        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
