Whatcha asking us for?? :P

But since you asked? NO :D

I would suggest you call your doctor..

At 11 day (the first month really) your stomach is still raw and numb so it's really hard to feel anything in there.

I would stick with the program the doctor gave. My doctor had me on pureed food after one week but I know many others have different policies.

Also everyone's body is different, they make these manuals for the mass population, bcause they have no way of knowing what your body will respond to. They and you don't know if you follow exactly the manual that all hell won't break loose at the next scheduled stage.

Try explaining that one to your doctor..

"Ummm yeah... Some chick on the Internet told me to go for it"

Hello, I am 13 days out and just came from my after surgery check-up. I've been eating small amounts of chicken, tuna, greek yogurt and mashed potatoes since day 9... I told my doctor and he wasn't at all mad, he actually told me that it was fine as long as it wasn't causing pain or nausea. Good Luck!!

Nice! I'm a girl that loves cars... When I was younger I used to have classic cars and even worked on them myself. My grandfather taught me because he thought I'd probably never land a man to do those things for me :P

My daughter is getting a car soon and she is displaying a unique taste in cars too.

These days I'm rocking my midlife crisis in Porsche boxster.

I went for my three month post op appt. I have had no pain, no nausea, a slight stall and I stuck to my drs directions even though I felt great. I have lost 73 lbs. my doctor thanked me for listening to him- he said, that's the secret- do what your doctor tells YOU to do and if you want to jump ahead, call him and get his okay. Don't take some strangers advise on your stages of eating. There are plenty of people on here who got a leak, had gall bladder issues etc- you don't want that because you had to have some mashed potatoes. IMO

I'd say to do what your doctor told you. My doctor has us on purée in the hospital the day after surgery, but all doctors are different.

        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
