Stage 3 soft foods



Recommended Posts

Why are you avoiding stuff in a can... Is there an issue with it or you just don't like the taste???

Probably the sodium...

I was sleeved 10 days ahead of you and I don't move to soft foods until tomorrow. It could be that your sleeve just isn't ready for it. My doc says it takes 21 days for the sleeve to completely heal and until then we should baby it and not push its limits. broth, shakes and yogurt at 2.5 weeks out doesn't seem odd to me.

I went back at 16 days post op. I brought a hard boiled egg with me. My surgeon clears us for veggies at 2 months. So it's been eggs and those mini mozzarella cheese wheels for me at work. I drink my shake for Breakfast on my way there as well.

I been nervous about oatmeal would I be able to eat a whole packet ?

For me I can only eat 3 ounces of the packet so what I do is make a a couple at a time and just place the extra oatmeal in storage containers for the next few mornings.

Thank you ! Is egg whites better then just regular eggs ? Can you gimme like a sample of what your meal plan is looking like ? I feel like I live off Protein powder and yogurt right now

I use egg beaters. I was eating cream of wheat, oatmeal, yogurt, beef Jerky (chew very well), chicken broth, mashed potatoes. ..Are you taking prilosec or zantac? I was started with 1 zantac a day then went to 2. I found that 1 prilosec in the morning works great because I haven't had anymore heartburn since. My dr wanted me on something gor at least 2 months.

        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
