my dr. told me I could anything I wanted but, to keep in mind that Protein was very important because the body needs it so, I would be wise to follow a high protein diet and also, some things you eat might give you diarrhia so keep an eye on your intake and how your body reacts to it. Dont ignore the protein and/or your vitamins...at first I started losing a lot of hair due to lack of protein because I was not getting enough.. best of luck to you

being able to drink more than sips is great - but you are early WLS - so don't gulp yet - at a later point you can drink faster.

i think many people can take more than sips - i know i could ;)

if you are feeling full at the proper time during your eating - great, stop when you are full - than stop one bite earlier :D my drs. joke :lol:

sounds like you are doing fine - you are doing things properly

keep up the good work

You are not alone. I am 17 days. Post-op. I can eat just about anything can chew into a paste. Spicy food, beef,pork, sashimi, you name it. Some of us have a lot less drama than others.

Yep. Another vote for completely normal. I'm now almost 8 weeks out and have been able to gulp Water since early on. My sleeve also let's me eat pretty much anything I want so long as I don't overdo it. There are some things I haven't had yet though but so far so good for everything I've tried.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
