I am so disappointed in me. I fell off this weekend. I found that I can eat small portions of what my family is eating, So I am now going back to full liquid for a while and keeping up with my working out. I abused my tool.

Hi there,

If you don't mind, when was your surgery? Are you still supposed to be on liquids right now? If so, then do please get back on them ASAP. Keep in mind the reason our surgeons put us on these post op diets is to protect our health. Eating too soon can lead to a whole host of really bad complications including leaks. Leaks have been known to keep people in the hospital recovering for months, and can even lead to death. Please take this very seriously.

If you're able to eat what your family is eating now, then really I say don't beat yourself up. It's ok once in awhile to let go, but just get back on the weight loss bandwagon right away. Don't let it linger too long, for the longer you do the harder it is to get back to losing.

HTH - and all the very best!!

MEMEMEMEME .

I was told to start on day 7 after surgery eating moist solid foods. one at a time chewing to baby food consistancy.

suggestions were:

canned chicken fish, tun egs cottage cheese tofu yogurt refried Beans and all cooked and peeled veggies.

I guess each doctor is different.

After 8 weeks I could eat what I could tolerate, as long as it was lean Proteins veggies and whole grains. and try to get 800-1000 calories in and 60-75 grams of Protein in daily.

I am no where near that as of now. I am only getting in 250 calories a day on average.

I am so VERY thirsty! but I find if all I do is drink to satisfy my thirst, I can not eat at all and can go 6-7 hours with no real food......

I think I can eat anything after week 9 so my progression seems a bit slower - but not too off!

Unless I get thrown for a surprise, I get mushies on the 30th of August and no limits at the next two week appointment after that.

I had surgery on August 11.

I haven't done any diet advancing, but I understand the temptation. I wanted to chew something today. In the end, it was gum.

      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
