Oh sorry. Not sure why that didn't come up but I'm 16 days PO. It took me 30 mins and I had to reheat it but it went down pretty easy.

It was just one of the small frozen ones but its the most volume I've eaten since my surgery. (I ate a second one a little while ago but don't tell anyone)

I was told by my Dr. If you eat anything thicker than milk before 21 days you could get in big trouble!! I remember his face just before heading to surgery... He told me a patient of his ate a yogurt and it got stuck. It wouldn't move and oozed through her stitches! She had to be re-admitted, got an infection, ended up in ICU for a month!!! That was enough for me to not push it! I'm only 6 days post op, but I am dreaming about the day I can have oatmeal and scrambled eggs!

It's on my list for after day 15. Any soft ground meat. And it's on the suggestion list from my NUT. I had 2 weeks of liquids now soft foods. Everyone's doctors and NUTs have different plans.

I've questioned these differences in nutrition plans from the start. It's the same procedure universally - why do the diet plans vary so much? I am only allowed soft foods beginning on day 21, and no meat of any kind until day 48.

BTW, I'm not questioning or challenging anyone's plan VS mine - I'd just love meatball a week from now instead of five weeks. #pitypartyforone :)

Well my surgeon and dietician cleared soft foods such as lean meats at 2 weeks as well. Every doctor is different so don't let anyone tell you that you can't eat a meatball 2 weeks out. If your stomach can stand it then it is yours to eat. I ate my first piece of chicken 2 weeks out and a meatball 3.. It's all about what your body can take at this point. I eat any Protein now at 5 weeks. The only things I can't eat are raw veggies, breads and pastas at this point. My salad will be in 3 more weeks which is very exciting!

      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.
