After 2wks I'm allowed soft foods..I tried for the 1st time yesterday yogurt and 1 bite of boil egg and it was nasty! I tried crackers with some chicken salad that was ok..turkey cheese on wheat crackers was the best only cam enjoy three but I'm back to my Protein Shakes (yummy) tomorrow I'm going to go get watermelon and cantolupe! Prior to 2wks I was just drinking my yummy Protein, sf Jello and Popsicles, 100% sf apple juice and grape juice (dilated 1/2 w/water) I couldnt wait to eat soft foods so tomorrow I'm cooking some homemade Beans w/ground beef or turkey sausage. Yes u can eat grits and mash or back potatoes with lf or fat free toppings. I can't wait to be able to gulp down some cold OJ or flavored juices

Mine too. And I'm still mad about the mashed potatoes and grits. Go State must be southern, no one else likes grits! :)

Try taking refried Beans or black Beans and purée them with Water until liquid. Having something savory helped me get through the liquid phase until I could start mushy.

What? grits are great. However, I don't think I will be getting any of those anytime soon. I'm more than a week from mushies and In;t sure where my doc stands on them. I may have to find out.

Max, I'm from the south and would love nothing more than to have a bowl of grits. I'm mad bc my Dr. said no corn. That means no grits. :(

I really want some grits but I like grits with sugar!! So I guess it's best to stay away from grits. For now

5 day post-op, you'll probably think I'm crazy but I have a baby tsp of scramble eggs yesterday. Then all my family got together and they ordered pizza for the kids. I got a lil slice and would chew the heck out of it, then spit it out!!! Pizza never tastes so good. I'm done with the protien drinks and Jello :( does anyone know what would happen if we did eat a piece of food down our throats? Good luck :)

AlwaysSeating, I think the Dr. Are concerned that our stomachs aren't healed yet. That's why the say no food. Also, as sick as I am of shakes, I will drink them so my hair doesn't fall out. That's a risk I cannot take!

You weren't told what could happen? This makes me nuts. Your stomach could develop a leak and it could kill you, if you are unlucky, and if you're lucky it will only require another surgery, which while you wait for that will also include you spitting up bile regularly. This isn't something to experiment with.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
