Recommended Posts

I don't know what to eat. I've been craving Subway and salads and I know I can't yet. Need ideas

I am 3 weeks and on puree. So far my favorite is to throw a couple meatballs in the food processor with a little sauce and ricotta chees. I'm also making chicken salad in the food processor with some low fat mayo, some mustard and seasoning but getting tired of that. Can't wait to start soft food!

What did your Drs post-op instructions say - depending on your surgeon - the suggestions above may not be right

This is true. Every surgeon is different. I was on full liquids for two weeks then moved to soft/purée for three weeks before solid foods on the sixth week. I was sleeved 7/1.

I'm four weeks out. I was sleeved on 6/24 and i think i missed out on the puree and minced stage because i was afraid to try different foods. I just eat a scrambled egg for Breakfast with 8oz of Protein Shake (one scoop with milk is 41g of protein) all through the day is Greek yogurt from lite n fit, sf popsicles, and plenty of icy waters. I also brought sf applesauce, diced peaches n pears packed In Water. But for dinner i try to baked a small piece of salmon and a small sweet potato. Just try not to over do it. And go for plenty of walks.

At three weeks out I was on full liquids, "nothing that won't go through a straw" is what I was told.

I'm 3 weeks and on most regular foods. I eat chicken from my crock pot, meatballs, meatloaf, turkey burgers, cheeses, deli meats, veggie sausage with melted cheese, scrambles eggs with cheese and salsa, guacamole, etc..

Edit: I'm eating everything that was approved from my surgeon. He progressed me at my last check up :). I'd suggest to do what your surgeon says.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
