The only stage I remember well is the liquids. Lol nothing much to it. Just liquids lol.

For me it was 2 weeks Clear Liquids, 2 weeks full liquids (protein shakes, milk, yogurt and clear liquids) and finally 2 weeks pureed foods.

You really don't need to go back that far. Basically the rules are:

to eat Proteins first (lean meats, seafood, cheese, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy, etc.) I don't know how far out you are, but at one year I can eat 4 oz. of dense Protein when I eat very slowly. Yogurt obviously goes down easier. Protein should be between 70-90 grams a day.

Fills the edges with vegetables (not starchy) and low glycemic fruits. pineapple, berries and cantaloupe is good.

Finally if any room, eta some healthy carbs like quinoa or whole grain things. I keep my carbs under 25% of my total intake. It comes out to something like 45 grams a day. This is what worked for me:

Protein: 50%

Carbs: 25%

Fat 25%

Use My Fitness Pal or some other program and document everything you eat. Also drink your Water (72 oz. a day) and take your Vitamins.

Agree with Catracks, you don't need to go back all the way to the beginning. Be sure you are getting your Water for sure. That helps a lot. You could also try Diva's bootcamp. I think many people have had luck breaking stalls and carb addictions with it.

By using LilMissDiva's Basic Bootcamp, it helped with the sugar cravings and within 2 days I would drop a lb. It may have been Water retention, but I'll take it. Have a great day!

      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.
