I am 9 months post op but at 2 weeks post op I was all liquids. I drank Protein drinks that were recommended to me by my nutritionist, I tried to drink Water, even hot Water (it was very soothing to my stomach. I drank diet cranberry juice, hot chicken broth or beef broth. Week 3 I added yogurt to the mix. Dannon fit and light yogurt. Hope this helps.

I'm at the 1 1/2 week mark post op. Today it's sugar free Swiss miss with Unjury powder blended fine with ice and almond milk. Very good! I've been surviving on Sugar free puddings, jellos, broths, laughing cow cheese triangles, sf Popsicles that sort of thing. I made the family spaghetti and garlic bread tonight. It smelled fantastic but I had a tablespoon of sauce and was satisfied. It was the strangest thing!! ;) I didn't feel cheated because it's my choice, I can sure as hell keep pushing it until I can eat near what I did or not. So it's my decision not to and that makes it easier for me.

From the booklet my surgeon has it says day 15 post op is Stage 2-pureed Diet.

That's everything from stage 1, of course, and add:

  • Pureed chicken or turkey with no skin
  • Pureed fish (water-packed tuna)
  • These soft fish should be mashed very fine with a fork: Haddock, tilapia, cod and salmon
  • Pureed tofu
  • 2 scrambled egg whites or 1/4 cup of egg substitute
  • Pureed fat-free refried Beans
  • Cream Soups made with fat free milk
  • 1% cottage cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • no sugar added applesauce
  • mashed banana
  • mashed potato
  • canned vegetables pureed
  • pureed acorn or butternut squash
  • pureed sweet potato
  • cream of wheat
  • oatmeal

Eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pureed Proteins four to five times a day and 1/4 cup of the fruit, vegetables, and starches two times a day

      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
