I didnt puree anything! Ive been having soft eggs only. This stage ends monday. Wooo!!

Lucky you! I still have two weeks of soft foods. Quick question. Does anyone have regrets about the surgery? Eating is so uncomfortable and I don't enjoy it. Ugh!

I never pureed anything either. Well once I pureed some turkey with a little mustard but it was awful. I just ate soft foods and chewed till I couldn't chew any more :)

tsxo- sometimes eating is uncomfortable and I don't always want to, but generally no discomfort. How far out are you?

Sarting monday phase 1 I introduce soft meats, deli meats, cheeses, etc. Phase 2 is whole grains. Phase 3 is raw veggies/fruits. What about you?

You're allowed whole grains?? Like what?? I'm allowed non sugary cold Cereal if it's soaked in milk, but otherwise no grains.

I have NO regrets! I feel amazing, I don't get sick with vomiting or diarrhea and I know people who do everyday. Which is from making very poor choices. I did puree some things, of course it's almost forgotten now. Kinda like during and after giving birth, you swear you'll never do it again, but then you are so happy that you would do it all over again. One day (a few months) you will love the changes and you would do it all over again!

I hope so. I'm sick of eggs for Breakfast, Protein shakes and chicken. I don't eat seafood so I'm very limited. I used to love it and now knowing that's what I'm going to eat I really don't even want to. I haven't gotten sick since I haven't tried eating anything the dietician said not to. I have to wait another 2 weeks to eat veggies and fruits! Ugh!

I still have a Protein Shake most morning's, the trick is to make it a little different each day. chocolate thick like a frosty, berry or peach. Heck for thanksgiving, I made a pumpkin one. Not something I could drink often, it tasted just like a cold pumpkin pie with whipped cream. It was a mind thing! I just find shakes are easier and give me lots more Protein to kick start my day. It's just a mind set, you can do anything you set your mind too! Good luck!

It's starch and carbs and will turn into fat. There is zero nutritional value to popcorn

- Kaylee Ann ~ Surgerversary 6/11/2012

I'm confused. You eat no starch or carbs? My Dr has strict orders that I must eat a starch at every meal. Said starch is what gives us energy.

Not saying my way is correct, but its correct for me... it is saying that diet plans are different with every Dr. Be positive! We are all here to support each other.

I am able to eat popcorn. However, I need to be careful with huls.

So I just seen my Nut and she informed that popcorn is okay after six weeks post op...thanks everyone for the advice :) Oh and that starches are ok too because I asked about rice and she said that it's perfectly fine.

Cool! Please post back here after you've tried popcorn! I have a bag of pretzel crisps here, and I eat one per day to satisfy my "crunch" cravings.

        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
