I am told not to advance to another phase diet until seen or told by your surgeon.

I was on liquids for 3 weeks after surgery, I think its way too soon for pureed.< /p>

I'm not telling anyone to skip, but i was on puree since day two. I never have had any issues with any food at all. So just stick it out. They all have their guidelines for reasons.

I was never on liquids after day two in the hospital. On day three they served my chicken salad and a canned pear. I have done fine on food. Did not have to do purred at all. It is a good idea to listen and follow your surgeons instructions though.

I have to be on liquids one more week (2 weeks total) then I move into soft foods. Probably next Friday.

I was surprised at my one-week post-op when my doc told me to start on soft foods! I've been doing really well with them but I have to really push Water in between meals bc I'm so full. I haven't been too adventurous but the basic foods have given me NO problem at all.

I thought I was suppose to be on liquid for a month when I when for a check up. The surgeon is asking me how I'm doing? I was like good. Drinking liquid Jello Soup all day. He said you haven't eat yet? I said was I suppose to eat? He starts laughing yeah you should be on soft food since you didn't do anything but liquid. I said ok I'm going to start eating. I said I though liquid was a month he thought it was so funny & ask you don't feel hungry. I said nope I was full with liquid & I could go with out eating I'm never hungry. He said I'm his only patience that forgot about eating & no wonder I'm was slimming down so fast. Eating was very hard for me I kept vomiting & I was on mash potato for so long. Then month 2 vomiting everything I ate. Month 3 1 wk vomiting non stop my stomach closed up I couldn't get food in. Needed an opening. I was normal after that. Then off/on vomiting & dumping.

        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
