i had my surgery on june 5th, and was cleared for food the friday before father's day which was around june 17ish. i actually had a bit of grilled porkchop. mmmmmmm the best food you ever eat will be the first food you eat after the liquied diet. chew slow and long and savor every tiny bite. :)

I don't go on to solid foods for 3 months!!!

Stage 1 liquid only diet up til 10 days

Stage 2 smooth liquid diet eg Soups etc up til 28 days

Stage 3 puréed food up til 3 months

Then I'm allowed to slowly add in hard foods

What did your doctor have to check to clear you? I have my two week visit in a week. I'm only eight days out, but I have tried a few mushy foods already and they were fine. Did he ask you if you'd tried anything, and how it went? Did they do another xray to make sure there were no leaks?

It works totally different where I am. I'm across in Scotlanad. They just send you home with a diet plan on what you can eat at what stage and let you get on with it. I was sleeved on the 7th of this month and don't even see a nut again until the 4th December. I am being very careful and sticking to it. Xx

I was cleared after 2 weeks as well. Different doctors have different programs.

My doctor and nut have a 6 week plan, but told me that when I got to puree (where I am right now) I can go ahead and proceed as I feel comfortable. I have eaten chicken, tuna, and pork loin and haven't had any problems. I actually haven't had any problems with anything except for Cream of Wheat. Other than that, I have had an amazingly easy experience!

      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
