The day has come to an end and I survived my first day of soft foods!! Here's what I had...breakfast 4 tablespoons of scrambled egg whites, lunch pkg of Carl budding turkey breast and sugar free strawberry Jello, snack was chocolate Premier Protein, dinner 1/2 tilapia fillet with 2 tablespoons of French style green Beans. It took me roughly 30 min on each meal but i knew exactly when to quit on each meal and I chewed chewed chewed! I'm so proud of myself!! Best Monday ever! Just had to share!

P.S. I hit my first goal weight today too! 30 lbs down!! :)

I am afraid I won't be able to. I am supposed to start on Saturday but I can't even eat all my pureed food. Even taking my time I can't even get down a quarter of a fourth of a cup of oatmeal in under an hour! :( I feel like I'll never make it! How did your pureed stage go Emilee68?

I didn't have a purée stage. My dr had me do full liquids first 3 weeks post op then soft solids for 3 weeks then solids. I can't eat alot now. It's extremely small portions.

How did you know when to stop eating? Was it a normal fullness?

No to me it feels different. It kinda feels like there's a lump in your chest...it's hard to describe. Before the sleeve when I would feel full. My stomach would feel all bloated out and I would a general feeling of being stuffed. But now it doesn't bloat out or anything like that. I just had the lump or fullness in my chest...it's not uncomfortable or painful or anything like that. I can just tell and I'm like ok that's it. It doesn't take much though. I can only get through about 2 oz of albacore tuna and it takes me about 30 min to eat that. It's a good feeling though. I know I can't gorge myself! Lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
