I'm new to this. I decided to have this surgery to help me loose weight and prevent high risk heart disease that runs in my family. My starting weight was 232.

I need some help with foods and Protein.currently I'm on liquids. But im still experiencing stomach cramps and nausea. My biggest fear is to dehydrate. Would some one please help me I need lis of support I have no clue if I'm doing the right thing.

Sometimes I wondered why I had this surgery

Hi Lambshop, you'll be fine. AND, you've come to the right place. Those that have had the surgery before you will assist.

I'm going to follow & take notes, for I'll need the support in August.

You had this surgery to create a better you. Be encouraged!

thank you so much. It was rough coming out of surgery had chest pain and didn't wake up fully till the next day.

Now I just need to figure out what I can eat. I have lots of food allergies so this is going to be challenging.

Hi Lambshop!! July 8 here too!!( there are a whole bunch of us July 8ths) Low calorie gatorade is helping me with hydrating. Every day gets better.

That's what I'm doing G2 it's hard not to look at the fridge and taste that food. But im strong.

I am a July 8th'er also. I am doing well keeping liquids down, but I am afraid that I am not drinking enough. I am having 1/2 cup of broth and SF Jello, but still do not think I am taking in enough liquids. My doctor stressed protein shakes, but I have yet to find one that I can tolerate at this time. I am going to try the G2. Mornings are my toughest time. I feel the worse; not sure if it is because my stomach is empty, dehydrated, but it takes me a few hours to get myself going. Feeling pretty good otherwise.

My neighbor brought me tofu unflavor so what I have done this morning was get some fresh peaches peel the skin and put the recommended amount of tofu on a blender about 2 peaches one halve of banana a little fresh orange juice ice and splenda to taste and blend. the tofu doesn't have a flavor and I tolerated like a champ.

Felt full

That sounds good! Never thought of tofu. About how much tofu did you use?

What the package instructions say I cut mine in 8 pieces so I use one piece every time
