I'm New To This App, And My Wls Is Tomorrow. Im Very Nervous I Have A One Year Old Son Who Is My Life. He Is The Reason I Want To Go Through With The VSG, But My Paranoia Is Getting The Best Of Me. I Am Only 21 Years Old And I Knew Something Needed To Be Done When I Was Unable To Fit On A Ride At Great America, Im 256 Now And Im Afraid Of Skin Sag, And My Health. If There Is Anyone Who Has Had The VSG WLS Already Words Of Encouragement Would Be GREAT! ✌And ❤

I Thank You For Your Words. I Would Also Like To Know Of What liquids Did You Use During The Post-Op liquid Diet? I'm Taking 1 A Day Now As Far As Vitamins Is There A Better Supplement For Energy And Others Things I Will Lack Due To The Diet?

I am surprised that your surgeon's office hasn't covered fluids yet. Every one can tolerate something different after surgery. I hope you aren't already stocked up on Protein shakes, because your taste changes. I was on pure 48 oz of Water my 1st week. I could add in 3 shakes shakes a day weeks 2&3. When I came out of the hospital I hated my previously loved Protein shake. I couldn't stomach it. So, be prepared to try new Protein Shakes again.

Again, I'm surprised that you haven't gotten a list from your doc. Yes, there are special, chewable vitamins specifically for people who have bariatric surgery. It provides extra nutrition needed. Other docs might have you also take Biotin, B-12 & Calcium with D3. At the very least get the multiple in.

This is a lot of info. No one is perfect in every area. This is like learning how to eat all over. It is good, though, because it will help us live longer & healthier lives. All the best!

Thanks, And Lol I Felt Like I Wanted To Cancel Today But I Know I Would Regret That More.

I was scared too. I remember being wheeled in the operating room and staying to myself "what am I doing". Fast forward 6 weeks later, and it has been the best decision of my life, I would not change this gift I have been given to control my portions for anything. The first few weeks were rough, but nothing that you can't handle. I was in work 5 days after surgery and did fine. By three weeks out I felt totally myself and was ready to take on the world..You will do fine.. You will have lots of questions and this forum is great, so come back often, because it will get you thru.. Good Luck, your sleeve will be your friend...

Thanks, Im Up Reading Posts Right Now. I Will Post After My Surgery Is Done If I Feel Like I'm Doing The Right Thing. Pleas Keep Me In Your Prayers For A Calm Mind.

Girl u will do great . Let keep it Real this is the best choice you are making . However the first 3 days are hard but after that you will be good to go. If I would have seen this earlier I woul have told u to make sure u had ur cler liquids such as sugar free Jello , yogurt sugar free also broth and especially the Protein shakes or powder for when you got home. If I need ideas or are getting board of stuff just post a new thread and there are plenty of us to give u ideas. My prayers are with you.

Goodluck

Thanks Krystal! I Don't Have My Shakes Yet But I Was Given Samples From My Doctor. I Never Liked Them Before But I Know I Need Them So I Will Force My Self To Drink Them. I Thank You So Much For Your Words And Prayers. Respect And Love Girleee!

I have a list of good ones and different ones also. The ones the usually give Are GROSS. So if u acquire a different taste or get board. Anyway you will be just fine. Let us know when ur on the oter side post op !

I found the best protein powder. Its like having a glass of chocolate milk and its not gritty i put it in my ninja and i have it ready for the day. Try syntrax nectar. I bought the sweets line but its 120 calories in one cup and 23 i believe grams of protein and no aspertame which is my fav. Good luck and hope this helps with the shakes thing.
