I highly doubt those things are on your post op diet after only 2 weeks.

What phase are you on? What are your doctor's instructions?

I know '!! Uhhhhh . I'm having a moment ! Let me make a Protein shake !

I know it's hard but stick to your doctor's post op diet. It's so important so you can heal properly.

Just remember, this is temporary. Soon you'll be back on real food and on your way to a healthy life.

You can do this :)

I am just starting my post-op week 2. My instructions say that I can include to my Clear Liquids more creamier Soups, puréed foods. Tonight I puréed some green Beans. It took a little bit to get past the looks and texture...but at this point I will try just about anything new.

I don't know of I am supposed to but I have been doing grits or oatmeal . I'll do a Soup from Olive Garden . Actually been doing like soft foods I guess . I can't get my Protein down. Just met a girl in the doctor office where I am now and she said that Muscle Milk is delicious ! So I'll try the chocolate . I ate some green been a and it actually went down without me puréed n it.

Jello, apple sauce, and things like that are what you should be eating. Keep drinking those Protein Shakes.< /p>

I know all of our care varies, but if you are looking for something as a reference, fashionstylist- I could scan the booklet I got my from nutritionist for you. Maybe you could show your doc and make sure they are cool with it? I got something really comprehensive.

My phase 2 go's like this; pureed foods, Baby food consistency foods - nothing you need to chew. Eat Protein first, pureed chicken, scrambled eggs , mash low fat cottage cheese, smooth low cal yogurt, or low cal pudding. Then move onto mild pureed veggies such as carrots, green Beans (avoid gassy veggies) Start taking chewable multi Vitamin and Calcium supplement. Eat 3 to 4 meals per day.Stop eating at first sign of fullness. Do not over eat. Do no not eat and drink together. No fluids half an hour prior to meals, with meals and 1 hour after meals to allow fullness and proper digestion. Continue Phase 2 for ___.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
