Hello, had my VSG surgery on the 13th. Working on post op liquid diet now. Already down 14lbs since surgery. Hope everyone is doing well. Here’s to our futures.

Drink more fluids. On my liquid preop I was able to have pudding, can you? You need to increase your calories. Broths, jello, pudding, popsicles, melted creamy peanut butter, protein shakes, milk (if you can handle it). I ate up to about 1000 cal. This liquid diet is only meant to help shrink your liver. It’s not to make you lose weight. I know it’s hard. I’m on post op liquid diet. I want food so bad. I don’t know how much more pudding, jello and Greek yogurt I can do but I’m gonna keep doing it because it’s to help me heal safely. Question- if you’re able to lose weight eating healthy and exercising, why are you getting this surgery? Most people, like myself, have been unsuccessful doing that but you seem to have been enjoying it? If it was making you happy why surgery? No judgment I promise, just curious.
