Depends on what your surgeon advised. Some have patients eating regular food 2 weeks out, others make you wait 4-6 weeks.

Done Did It!

Rice Beans & chicken

Beans and chicken are fine. Just take it easy. I'm not allowed rice for 9 months. You should prob just be sticking to 90-95% Protein at this stage

So if your NUT said no rice; you are eating rice. At this point I guess you will decide what you want to do. Are you looking for validation here to say it is okay to eat rice?

I think you should listen to the professionals, of which we are not.

Good Luck

i "think" Amazon meant to nicely say you should listen to what your NUT says, then you won't have any reason to question if you are going on the right path - but its always nice to receive a good luck encouragement, so i'm glad you received that :)

its true none of are professionals, we're just normal, wonderful sleevers like you :)

we give support and advice ,general conversation and good info too, and importantly we are here to support all - especially you Newbies - come on, come on - you know who you are!!!! :)

when there is something more medical/technical involved, we suggest you see your doc/or NUT :)

talk to your NUT about more suggestions to eat - at the beginning, and later too, it can be hard to get a good variety of food in

but, i know you can conquer all- you ARE on that right path - no wrong turns allowed :lol:

watch those road signs :lol: :lol:

eating small portions, exercising, losing 27 lbs Kudos!!!

talking to your NUT is always a good idea for info/reinforcement

good luck :)

IMO, yes, you are headed down the wrong path. Remember the first few months are when you have the most rapid weight loss.

I personally am 8months out & I still do not eat rice, bread, Pasta, potato, or fried foods. White carbs like these are immediatly turned into sugar, not to mention they trigger cravings for more of the like.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
