I am one week away from surgery . i have my protien powder, vitamins, Jello, sugarfee popcicles, broth...for the full liquid phase.

i am a little concerned about the pureed phase. i have my greek yougurt, hummus. someone suggested possibly adding baby food for this phase. if so any recommendations ?? or are they full of it , looking for input

I tried a few of them and couldn't freaking stand the stuff. None of it. Just put Soups in a blender. I ate a lot of split pea Soup from the blender. Yogurt. I lived on Protein Drinks. I bought a ton of stuff for after surgery. You don't eat enough for all that. I licked a lot of laughing cow cheese wedges off crackers and ate a ton of sugar free Popsicles.

I go on pureed food next Thursday. I bought some refried Beans, hummus, canned chicken (they say it's more moist and easier to puree). I'll pick up some fresh fish to add to chowder and puree it. I'm still thinking what else to try...

chicken salad blended with some broth is yummy! When I was banded I used that a lot during the puree stage. I even pureed chili. Im with the others Soup is better tasting and more flexible than nasty baby food. My conversion to RNY is next week and I feel so much more prepared this round.

I think our surgeries are on the same day! The 12th right? :)

      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.
