My dr only had me on 1 week of liquid. My 2nd week I could have cream Soup, yogurt, pudding, milk. I cheated on my 2nd week and had a scrambled egg...it gave me alot of pain :( I cheated yesterday and had a slice of toast and had zero problems. Today I ate a slice of cheese and had no problem. All of this is fat free/sugar free of course:)

I keep hearing of this but haven't faced nausea or puking except the day of surgery.

Remember everyone I know we are all dying to taste some real food but please do your best to follow your doctors instructions. I keep telling myself I am stronger than the food that I have consumed all these years that helped me blossom to 303 pds. Mind over matter..We are stronger than the food we put into our mouths. Take a walk, read a book, watch a movie, drink a few sips of your favorite Protein Shake (we can never get enough of those good ole Protein drinks) or just take a nap. Be strong

Ok here comes the bully! Cheating on a diet???

Oh my yes we've all done that!

BUT the after surgery "eating" plan is there for a reason it's not a typical diet. It is in place to give your stomach time to heal. Lets not forget that someone just went in the and cut and burned that sucker length wise, and then stapled it back together!!!

Your stomach is still swollen and numb. And chances are you won't "feel" much in there right now.

Like I said this is not cheating on a diet this is a dangerous thing to do. If you want to cheat wait until you are in the clear, trust me there will be plenty of time to cheat yourself then!

Couldn't agree more! I'm not playing Russian Roulette with my health or my life. It's not that long until most foods are back on the table - cheat or not.

It takes a lot of discipline not to cheat which most of us don't have that's why we had to get the sleeve. Cheating is understandable but you have to remember why you had this surgery.

If you cheat you are only cheating yourself. You have to gain control over your cravings. It's not easy but u can do it.

My mom always tell me that this food will be here forever. mc Donald's isn't about to go out of business and one u reach ur goal then have some. Good luck and hang in there.

Your doctor has a food plan for a specific reason.

I've posted this before, but my plan called for starting on soft food the first day I was home (and I only stayed at the hospital one night). The day after surgery, in the hospital, I started with Clear Liquids in the morning (jello and broth) and full liquids (tomato Soup, yogurt) in the afternoon and then I went home. It was a horrible 40 minute ride home because I had really bad heartburn from the Tomato Soup and the Prevacid hadn't kicked in yet. Personally, I was scared to death to try soft foods the next day after reading how everyone else was on liquids for a few weeks - but it all worked out okay. Granted Protein shakes were still my main source of Protein, or Protein powder mixed into pudding.

      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
