Congratulations!!! Good Luck!!! I'm sure u and everything will be ok, the procedure seem to be fairly quick and easy as far as I'm concern. They wheeled me right in and the next thing I know I'm waking right up! I'm so happy for u for your new and exciting journey.

Yes the water n protein was so hard to do for me at the beginning but i realize its importance so much more now plus consuming it today was not as hard as it was in the beginning when I first started 6 days ago. Thanks all

@Missouri-Lee's Summit thank you so much for that compliment. Simone is my middle name actually, my first name Garielle was already taken so I just put it together to create a profile name, but I do recieve alot of compliments about my name. When i was younger I absolutely hated my name but I LOVEEEE it now. Lol....Thank u.

These are such great comments I'm 6 days out from my surgery as well and honestly considering I'm not too sure of the definate number of my weight on the day of the surgery, when I went to my 1st week follow up at my doctors today I either lost 2lbs or none (still the same weight since the surgery)...remember I said considering...lol ....however the number did seem to bother me especially since my scale at home said I actually weigh less than what was displayed on the scale at the doctors office. However I understand that eventually the lbs will drop and even though the scale says 1 things when I look in the mirror I think I really see a lil change. Either way I'm determined and more motivated than ever to loose this weight. Just like everyone here stated in thier comments this procedure is a tool and it will do what it needs to do as long as I do what I need to do and i am going to do it. Thank you all for your words and comments. This really helps and encourages me so much. Thank you.

But thank you all again, your comments is much appreciated and valued.

These are all such great comments. Thank you so much for this Intel. All this is so very new to me and I have the BIGGEST FEARING OF FAILING. I DO NOT wnt to fail. I feel this is my only chance and I have to get this right. But im glad to know that this ok and some ppl have experience this and there are ways around this. I appreciate your words so much, you have no idea how much better u made me feel. I was literally in tears earlier today because of my upset and fear of not feeling that full sensation. I'm sure my liquid intake before the approval of eating protein meats had much to do with my not so quite fullness as well. Today made me realize how important fluids are so that when it's time to eat I may feel the fullness I need to train my brain my limit...maybe?!? ?‍♀️

So my first week before surgery all liquid diet. Week after surgery all liquid diets. 2nd and 3rd week after surgery gradually getting back into the actual protein meat. We still can consume liquid protein if perfer while getting back to intake meat again

Sorry for the confusion my first week after surgery I was on a all liquid diet. Now I am on my 2 week after surgery so I was approved for soft protein.

1 week out of surgery. Approved to start soft meat protein. Went to Qdoba got a kids chicken bowl with blk beans, and cooked peppers and just a lil queso. Got home chop 3-4 table spoons of it to fit in 2 of the 1 oz medicine cup. Ate each cup in 15mins, a total of 30 and was confused that I didnt feel EXTREMELY FULL ppls have been telling me i would fell. I didnt feel full but I didnt feel hungry either, this scared me because since my stomach is smaller I feel like I should be full but I'm not. I'm scared I don't not what to fail and fall I the mind games because I dont feel full that I should eat more. Has anyone experience this?
