Im 10 days post op and I've been sneaking in soft foods..broccoli and fish oh and a pickle (no skin) I haven't eating a lot but I just had to confess. Im actually 19lbs down! But I haven't lost anything in the last 2days just wondering if I may have caused a stall ..remember I was losing 2 1/2 to 3 lbs a day!

Ok so I'm going to be really mean because clearly you are clueless... You just had 85% of your stomach removed!!! for gods sake think next time you shove some solid food in your mouth.. Your staple line isn't healed up and you should follow your doctors orders to progress your diet gradually. Causing a stall should be the least of your worries.. You should be worried about causing a leak..

You need to take the surgery seriously, you know you've done wrong. Get yourself together and follow your post-op instructions. That's the only advice I have for you. Oh and like soocalchic said a STALL is the last thing you should be worried about.

Fell off the horse. Get back on. It's just a few more days till you are allowed soft foods...you can wait... As far as tongue lashings, we are all here for support. We are all human and make mistakes. She knows she shouldn't do it, and admitting what she did was wrong is hard to do.

As far as stalls..they will come and go, you don't need to worry about them...they will pass. Be careful, and good luck! :)

Skinless pickle? Why would anyone pickle peeled cucumbers? It would become mush! After the pickling process (with peeling)... it's all the same texture anyway..

Totally weird!

Anyway... Get back on your docs suggested foods and live up to your name ;)

Girl there is a whole bunch of people here doing that! Seriously I see it everyday here! And they are drinking the pickle juice too! GROSS!!

Oh and to the op please be kind to your stomach, it may not hurt... but that is because at ten days your stomach nerves are still somewhat numb still. Please go back to the recommended plan.

Just saying...that a fellow sleever took a big bite of hubby's cheese burger on day 2 post-op and was taken by ambulance to larger hospital for leak. So...really it isnt healthy or wise to go off your diet.

When you're at the "mushie" foods stage, you can just about eat anything if you chew it a LOT. As for skinless pickles: my mother used to make the absolute best, world class bread & butter sweet pickles with skinned and sliced cucumbers. Perfection. I wonder if she still has the recipe.... I will ask her tomorrow. I am soooo blessed to still have my mother so I can ask her silly questions :-)

        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
