Hey everyone,

I just had VSG done Tuesday, 11/19/19.
I absolutely cannot get my liquid or protein goals.
The hiccuping is insane! I feel like I hiccup every time I take a sip. Nothing tastes right to me and I have no interest in anything. (The head hunger for the burger part of a cheeseburger is real tho.) I’ve tried premier protein, fairlife core power, lean shake 25 from GNC. My next attempt will be the unflavored isopure.

I’m struggling a lot with the repercussions of the surgery and I’m just feeling really down and can’t seem to snap out of it. Just looking for support, I guess.

Thanks.

When I got home after surgery, the first two nights, I dreampt of M&M's. I dont even like them that much, but they called to me. I cried the first two days, in the hospital. And then again the last few nights as I seem only able to get a couple hours of sleep at a time, when I wake up and wander the house trying to tire myself out.
Last night my oh so skinny husband brought home pizza... my absolute favorite. I had to sit and smell it and my sense of smell is way better now than it was pre-OP. As I watched him devour an entire pizza there was some rage that built...
Anyway, the point is, the liquid diet sucks. My doctor has me on only liquid for two weeks, then I can add yogurt and reduced fat peanut butter and a couple other things for another two weeks. I am so depressed when I think about food. But just before Christmas I get meats of all sorts. That's keeping me going. So maybe think about when you get to add more to the diet? Think about what you'll need then? That's the only thing that seems to help me when it gets really bad.

Thanks everyone! The support is awesome. My close family are supportive, but you know, you don’t understand until you’ve done it.

I felt as prepared as possible prior to the surgery, and knew I’d have mind games to deal with. I know someone in my local support network that has already cheated in their 2 week post op liquid and I definitely don’t want to do that!

The unflavored isopure mixed into the Simply Asia Ramen broth is AWESOME!!! For anyone that generally doesn’t like broth, that one is so good!!

Hi there,
I'm at the five day post-surgery point and today a new turn of events is happening: crying, anger, depression. I hope you feel better soon.
