I haven't been here long.....almost two weeks post surgery, so I probably shouldn't chime in. However, I'm happy to see other people besides me with their heads close to exploding. LOL

There do seem to be a lot of people who had this surgery who want to skip steps and/or eat things they shouldn't (and many within just a few weeks of surgery). It terrifies me.
But I think the worst ones for me are the posts that say something like, "I've been doing everything perfect, and I've lost 30 pounds in the past 4 weeks since surgery, but OMG.....I haven't lost anything in the past day!"

I'm doing great. I had my 1 week follow up with my surgeon. I'm getting in plenty of liquids and got moved to full liquids, so no more clear Protein Drinks. Now I'm having the creamy ones, which makes me much happier.
Just a tiny bit of soreness of incisions (mainly the underneath sutures of the muscles), but no real pain since last week. I have energy, and I'm thrilled with this decision. I'm glad to hear you guys are doing well! Keep it up!

Patience, Grasshopper.
You just had 85% of your stomach taken out of your body, and the other half stapled closed. It takes time to feel somewhat normal. I think I finally felt somewhat human again at around 5 weeks. Unfortunately, I still suffer from reflux.
Not gonna lie, the first month sucks. But months down the road, when you feel good and have lost some weight, it's all going to be a distant memory. I promise

Just wait until you've been on here for a year or more. Eventually you do learn to just move on to the next topic before your head explodes.

Bless your heart. I hope you start healing soon. I'm so sorry you are going through so many complications. I also pray that you have someone by your side through all of this. In any event, come here to vent and get support from us.

I was sleeved on June 23rd. My instructions are two weeks on clear liquids. Then I have two weeks on full liquids. Only then do I progress to two weeks of pureed, then two more weeks of soft foods. So, that means it will be 8 weeks before I have real food.
Two things.....1) I'm not hungry. The surgery has been a wonderful thing for me. 2) This is my new life. I would never have put myself through major surgery to not stick to what my surgeon has told me to do.
I read and prepared and made myself knowledgable about how this works. I'm so excited about the future. I figure I can get through a few weeks of liquids to get to the good part of less (or no) knee pain, of feeling better, physically and emotionally, etc.
Hang in there. You can do this!

Not the 30th, but my VSG surgery is scheduled for June 23rd! I'm in the last week of pre-surgery life, and I'm ready for the other side.

My surgery is June 23rd!
I don't have a liquid pre-op diet, except for the two days right before my surgery. I just have to eat high Protein and low carb until then.

I'm also scheduled for the 23rd! I have a two day clear liquid diet that I started today. One more day and then I'm on my way! Good luck to you.

I'm tomorrow, too! Good luck everyone. Oddly enough, I'm not really nervous. A little anxious, but I'm ready. I feel very informed and have no doubts this is the right thing for me. It's sort of a peaceful feeling actually.
