I've seen so many YouTube videos about ppl going through what Im going through and mannnn I tell ya..they have such a happy face because they aren't struggling. Why am I? I feel so tired...weak. I thought by 2 wks I would be feeling up...alert..energetic.... < ---- wishful thinking. Am I alone...in this! I keep thinking about food...and yet Im lost with what can I eat at the puree stage because Im sick of looking at food that looks like throw up blended up ( that's just how Im feeling ) Im thinking about how much i miss food...my favorite meals. I feel like Im never going to eat my favorite Chinese food...or favorite sandwich ever again. Its almost Like if my mind is regretting it but my heart knows this was the best decision ever.

Are you taking any B12 ?

@dat_sweetmami - know what u mean and going through the same thing. My fav is Chinese and I have the same fears. But we will get past this and we will be stronger for it. I wish I had a magic pill that would make it all better but I don't. Stay strong and focused. In my thoughts.

I don't take any blood pressure medication. My stomach hurts though...maybe gas or bloating...idk

:-(

I haven't had surgery yet, I go Monday but I have been on a strict diet for five months and I'm at the point where I am missing food a lot! These last four weeks have been awful, and I won't be able to eat food with form (that's what I call it.. aka not puree or soft) until June! So I know what you are feeling. I've only had 500 calories or less for the past month and I'm drained.

However I have been doing a lot of research, I don't want to go back to my old ways, like someone else mentioned I'm getting surgery to better, and make myself healthy, and I have to keep reminding myself that I'm having surgery on my stomach, and not my brain, and well my desire for certain foods are still going to be here. So I'm trying to find healthy alternatives! I do believe that cauliflower is going to become my new best friend. I've seen so many recipes where you can use cauliflower as a substitute. I've seen recipes for pizza crust, rice, even several for different kinds of "breads" Of course mock mashed potatoes. etc. I've been shocked. Plus there are some veggies you can used instead of Pasta. Egg plant, Spaghetti squash, zucchini. And my nutritionist highly recommends anything made by Dreamfield Pasta! Just because you're sleeved doesn't mean you can't eat good tasty food again! You may have to find alternatives, or eat your favorite foods every once in a while.

Also just because one person can't tolerate a certain food(s), doesn't mean you're not going to be able to. Everyone is different, One's experience, isn't your experience. You're going to have your own!

Are you taking any B12 ?

yes one a day. is that enough?

Yes that is suppose to help keep us from being so tired.

I just got my first shot on fri. . very very small improvement.

I am 2 weeks post op and feel like I can eat too much! I do feel full but only after about 8 ounces of soup or mushy food. And I feel great..never any pain with eating just a full feeling. I don't know how normal this is when I read everyone elses posts like yours! I am even back to the same level of energy I had pre surgery. I have lost 13 pounds since surgery and 38 pounds total including preop diet so I don't think I am doing to bad that way....I just still worry I can eat to much. I think these mushy foods and soups are going to be sliders for me...I can't wait till I eat more substantial food...I hope I will feel more restriction then!
