I'm on day 9 post-op and been on full liquid since I had the sleeve done. I guess each doctor is different, so I would call and ask them, or contact your nutritionist and ask...

Mine was a week on clears! The doc said no Protein powders added to anything, just focus on getting down the liquid.. I could drink any sugar free drinks and he told me to drink a little bit of juice cut with Water just to get a little bit of sugar into my system. I could also have any homemade clear broths... he was very specific to tell me homemade broths, though I'm sure that canned ones would have been fine.... I could also have sugar free jell-o. and popcicles.. oddly, I could also have coffee which I know is a no-no on many programs but I was allowed two cups a day... The only clear drink I wasn't supposed to have was anything with citrus as it is irritating to a new sleeve.

Once I got off of clears my diet progressed quickly.. I was only one week at each stage.. one week on full liquids, one week on purees, one week on mushies etc.

Mine was clear liquids til my first followup. Tomorrow is that first followup. I can't stomach the broth anymore so it's all about Popsicles and Jello. Mine also was no Protein focus, don't add any, the Protein starts after the first post op appointment.

No liquid only phase at all post-op; mushes and soft Proteins as tolerated and Protein Drinks used to flesh out the Protein numbers.

I vow that I will ask my surgeon what I can and cannot eat/drink for the first 6 weeks.

I was on clear liquids for the 2 days in hospital. Then each stage (4 stages) afterwards was 10 days. It was frustrating, but I was so afraid if I got off course, I'd be in the ER. So I stuck with each stage for 10 days and had no problems at all. Sleeved on 11/7/2012 & down 56 lbs. Was actually down 25 lbs at my 4 week post op.

I'm June 14th too!!!!

I'm on 2 weeks liquid but 4 days of that was in the hospital on the drip. The way my doctor explains it is that I can have anything that fits through a straw :)

Weight loss was rapid from day of surgery up until maybe 7 mons out. I'm at the stage now that it may appear I'm not losing, but I'm actually losing about 5 lbs a mon now.

        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
