I was banded 8/9 what was the time table your Dr give you for solid? Mr Dr give me a copy of a copy of a plan. I told him I started soft food and I felt good. He didn't want me to start mushies until next week.

Everyone's plan/Doctor is a bit different. I was on 10 days of liquids then 10 days of mushies post surgery. In terms of getting back to "normal" foods, everyone is different in terms of what they can/can't eat. I found though that before any fills, I was able to eat anything..i just tried to make very smart choices and start the good habits..it helps so that when you get more restriction, you are used to things (i wished i had worked harder on eating SLOW!!). I would say though that as I first started normal food, I tried to avoid things (steak, dry chicken, etc) that tend not to go down well...good luck with everything!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
