Okay so I have noticed that some ppl talk about purée and making stuff mushy ... I was wondering is this all depending on where u had ur surgery bc my stage is 2 and it's Protein Shakes and stage 3 is soft foods it says u can eat oatmeal eggs chicken just make are u chew and it's moist.... Is anyone else having the same stage as me or are u headed to purée ??

It sounds like I have the same type of guidelines that you have. I did not have a puree only stage either. I went from liquids/mush right to soft foods too. ... I've been 2 months out for about a week now and can move on to a regular low fat high Protein diet but I have not tried anything yet. Too scared to leave my comfort zone. :)

My surgeon also does not have a purée stage. I went from a liquid stage (2 weeks) to a soft/mushy food stage. He says as long as we chew our soft foods really well (chewing 20-30 times) then it doesn't have to be puréed. From week 7 on I've been on regular diet and so far no issues.

Yeah all dr's seem to be different. I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and I'm still on mostly liquid. My dr wants me to be on that until next week. I've been trying things though here and there. I've found that I seem to be now lactose intolerant to the non-fat milk products like yogurt. Which bums me out because I love milk etc. I have been trying Beans, eggs, and I tried a bit of potato. I know others are usually on the full mushy or soft stage by now. I honestly think it depends on your body as well

I had a purée stage but I never puréed anything. I just chewed well. For instance, Wendy's chili. I just chewed well. No problems.

just remember, always eat a cup of something, never a bowl, chew food and always go slow, most of the time I could not finish a cup.

I've noticed that quite a bit of you all are able to eat chili or salsa, did it not irritate your stomach? My dr had said not to eat chili or things like that because it could cause irritation, I love chili and salsa and miss it

I'm such a bad girl..I started chili from Wendy's right as I moved from full liquid to puréed. I love spicy Thai food and have always tolerated it well so I gambled. No probs since they will anything spicy. Love salsa

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
