liquid phase is depressing



Recommended Posts

im 1 week post op and on day 22 of my liquid phase. I dont have many words other that I cant handle the Protein Shake flavor. I have been living off of plain Water for three days. Every step I take i feel like I am going to faint. My surgeons advice was:"be tough, it will get better"

I feel just like in a regular diet type of agony only that my body cant take binging anymore.

Im hurting so bad emotionally.

I dont think I can take another OliveGarden commercial.

2 more weeks before yogurt....

MMMM MMMmm having an shake right now. Yeah they're a bit tiresome at best. if hating a dirt flavoured milk shake is as hard as it gets I can put up with that for a couple more weeks.

Cheer up! It will pass. I just started my 3rd week out. The past 2 weeks I went to bed as early as I could so I'd reach the new day faster. Sounds silly but it really helped. It gets better every single day. Courage!!

The Olive Garden food has never looked so good. We will be on to the next phase soon.

Hang in there. I felt like I didn't take in any nutrition for the first six weeks. Couldn't stomach Protein Shakes, yogurt was gross, eggs were too. I lived off of Water, and it had to be ice cold or it bothered my stomach. I became obsessed with lemon and just sucked the juice out if it. At 6 weeks follow up , I was given the go ahead to introduce solid Protein and I was in heaven. As long as you are getting enough water, you will survive. I hated life, was tired all the time, but I made it!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
