I look at the commercials on tv and think boy that would taste so good. My dr has everyone go in phase 1 is clear liquids for 2 weeks, phase 2 is protein drinks and creamed soups for 5 weeks, phase 3 is full liquid which means I can have Everything in phase 2 plus cream of wheat yogurt and pudding for 1 week. Phase 4 is puréed foods for 1 week. Phase 5 is introducing food back into my diet. I almost crave just chewing the food.

I am only taking in 1/2 a protein shake and soup twice a day. Sometimes I feel full other times I don’t. Does anyone else feel like this? I put protein in my soup or some juice to make sure I get my protein in for the day.

Thanks for the feed back it definitely helps. It’s so easy to go back to I’m not losing anything so why not just eat.

I had my vsg done on 2/20/19. The first week I lost 15 pounds. The second week I lost 5 lbs. the third week was only 2 lbs. I’m still only taking in a protein drink and soup. Is this normal or should I be worried?
