My doctor has me on liquids for a while and then 3 weeks of purée. Each doctor is different.

I will be more than happy to get past the puree phase...it is horrible I can't eat anything!!! So I'm stuck with shakes, applesauce, mashed potatoes and just recently added grits.

Your already eating solids???

Yeah, I did clear in the hospital. When I was discharged I was on full liquid and Jello etc for a week. Then from 1week to 1month its was soft foods... Scrambled egg, cottage cheese, Beans etc. At my one month I'm on chicken shrimp all veggie and fruit and salad.

It's the morning after a really painful night... I still feel FULL! I'm sipping water- I have no desire for food today.

I think I'm going to do a liquid/protein day :(

I feel a bit discouraged' date=' Fridays I order pizza for my kids, and today it looked so yummy, but all I was able to eat we're a few bites of mixed veggies and I was stuffed... I miss food, but don't miss the weight. So bittersweet

I can eat out without problems. I measure everything at home on a food scale so I have a pretty good idea of what the amount I can eat looks like....I just separate that amount out into another plate before I start eating.

I measure at home with measuring cup. I need to get a second plate ... Or needed. I need to stay home for a while it was a bad experience for me.

I had my surgery on 8/23/2012

I was on Clear liquids in the hospital

When discharged I was told to stay on Clear Liquids or full liquids for no more than 2 weeks UNLESS I started to feel bad like low blood sugar bad

I was shocked that it happened the Monday after surgery I tried Beans and they sat well

I must have a surgeon that is flexible based on the person

I feel lucky

Today we were out shopping and the rest of my family wanted lunch so we went to taco bell and I had half a serving of Beans and it pleased my pouch

Just wanted to share my experience so far

It's official!.... I can't eat out!

Went out to eat for dinner and I ate too much & feel nasty. I ate slow but didn't measure and didn't realize how much was going in :'( I ordered a Cobb salad with no Bacon or dressing I just at the egg' date=' the a lil turkey and the avocado. But my husband had shrimp and I kept picking and picking and probably ate 10 pieces of little shrimp.

I'm nauseous but nothing will come up. So much discomfort. I didn't get the full feeling until 20 minutes after so late and I can't express my feelings of disgust!

To me that sounds like three meals... The shrimp could be one, the egg another, and turkey and avocado another. If you don't have a scale just remember that your surgeon made your pouch the size of an egg or golf ball so your meal shouldn't be much larger at this point.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
