Krystal, you are right everyone is different but my Doc told me to start puree food on day three. I didn't because it iritated my tummy. I did better after my stomach started to go down. I blended my food for about two weeks after I started my puree stage. Good luck

your doctor probably spent over $100,000 and at least 8 years extra getting an education, learning about the human body and how to do what they do... plus doing a residency somewhere for a couple years.. do you really think that you know more than they do about what you should do? they have reasons for asking you to do certain things. for a question like this, i would call the doctor and ask him/her why they want you to be on liquids for 2 to 3 weeks before going to the next stage.. then ask when it would be okay for you to move on.

that said... were it me, i would follow what the doctor said to the T. that way if anything were to go wrong, it would be his/her butt on the line and not mine.. i also would be scared to progress too rapidly, because your stomach isn't even healed yet & from what i've read on here if you do anything too soon, your stomach will hurt like hell & you can get hellacious acid reflux.. if the potential pain is worth it to you, then go for it.. but telling you the truth-- i would just do what i was told to do, to avoid harm to myself & any potential complications.

I agree with the others. And if you refuse to follow your doctor's orders now, how will you be able to follow them the rest of your life? Get with the program and enjoy the results.

      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.
