Congratulations on your surgery. How are you feeling? Do you have any questions?

My surgery is tomorrow 29 may, and I'm scared, I've been crying all day

Which one are you having? I was really scared too. I had sleeve on May 11th. Keep your head up. Everything is going to be ok. You got this!

You got this! I do understand that it is a big, life changing event, but it will be totally worth it. What are you most scared about?

I hope it goes well, we're all here for you. It's a huge step that will all be worth it.

I had gastric bypass Roux N Y on May 3rd. First two weeks were pretty good, no pain or nausea at all really. Now, for the past week I seem to have nausea all the time. Everything I try to eat tastes disgusting to me and makes me want to gag. I'm barely eating anything at all. I feel like I wake up nauseated and stay that way all day. I am able to get water down, but food is almost a no go at this point. I absolutely hate the protein drinks. Just the thought of them makes me want to puke. I've tried several different ones and unflavored powders, as well as a protein "lemonade" mix, and protein water and I just can't. I'm so over this at this point. Hoping it gets better soon. It's not even the taste of food that I miss, it's the being able to eat without wanting to vomit just thinking about it.

LilLiza I am so sorry! Yes protein drinks are disgusting!!! I made some egg custard adding protein po

LilLiza
My phone acts up
Egg custard recipe
Preheat oven to 350 f
Place in blender
6 egg whites
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
After blending let sit so the foam goes away
Place 6 ramekins in a larger baking dish, pour warm water to 1/2 way up the sides
Fill ramekins 2/3 full bake for 35 minutes
2 cups (your choice of milk)

The milk goes in the blender with everything else. If not sweet enough add a little sweetener next time

Had my VSG May 19, 2023. Feeling pretty good, walking up to 2 miles at a time at 2.5 to 3.0mph. I am looking forward to transitioning to puréed diet. Looking forward to the journey with my May 2023 buddies!

Guys I am having it bad right now. Under the regiment that my doctor has me on I can not have purées until week 4 which is still8 days away. I also have some texture problems when it comes to oatmeal or pudding. On week two I was allowed to start sugar free pudding and applesauce. The applesauce is way to sweet for me right now and it the no sugar added. Hasn’t made me dump but sure has made me nauseous. Tomorrow I can start oatmeal!! Yay for others not so much for me! I just want to taste something other than protein drinks. I have been doing my water and protein goal just fine it’s just getting hard to make myself drink it. It’s one more week and i know I can do it but it’s really still just another week of protein drinks and water. Also starting to get to my first stall which is kinda annoying but I know I just need to keep walking and drinking. I know it happens and understand why just one of those things you have to get pass. I have told my husband to take the scale away and I’ll measure myself on Wednesday and Sunday instead of everyday. Sorry for long rant just need to say it to other that understand.
