Today I am one week post op!!!! I feel great. I went back to work yesterday and that has been fine. My doctor released me to a full diet. Of course healthy diet but I don't have to do stages. Thank God!!! I really thought the recovery was gonna be so much harder. I know we all recover differently. I love being able to notice the changes already. When I would do a fad diet I never saw a change. I am so excited for this new life!!!

A week and half post-op. Go to see my surgeon in the morning. I've done really well other than some Constipation issues. I am getting my protien in every day in 2 shakes, but can't hold much more than that. I am on the soft diet stage 2 since Sunday, but can't get much down. No pain, just not much room. A couple of bites is all. If I weren't drinking my Protein I'd never get it in. I guess I will end up going through the stages like most sleevers.

If you don't have to go through the stages what are you currently eating?

I am eating whatever I want. By that I mean healthy. I was on clears for one week and then moved to regular food. I had tune for lunch and chilli for dinner. My doctor feels you will know what you can handle. His feeling is "God gave you teeth for a reason." Today for Breakfast I had a slice of ham, for lunch I will finish the tune from yesterday and for dinner I will be having taco flavored chicken.

Congratulations! You are LUCKY, I'm still on pureed foods. Hopefully only until next week. What I wouldn't give to be able to chew a meal. I guess it doesn't matter since I haven't been able to tolerate anything but liquids this week. Yummmm, taco flavored chicken :P .

Oh I wish I could eat whatever I want! I'm 3 weeks post op and got moved back to full liquids. Was vomiting up my mushes except for mashed potatoes. Boo for being back on Protein shakes! My nut wants me to try Isopure to help get my fluids and protein in. I'm currently in the hospital waiting to be released.

Amanda we have something in common I am three weeks out too. I just left my doctor because I was vomiting for the last three days and I was put back on liquids too. Liquids for one week, then she said I could try pureed the following week. Then based on my next appointment if I am better (on the 12th) I can move to soft foods slowly. She gave me a prescription for nausea. If that doesn’t help I may have to go in for another Endoscopy. I hope you feel better soon. I feel your pain :( .

        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
