Yes it is hard to tell who had what surgery, most important thing to do that I learned in my pre-op class is filter, filter everything you read or hear from others and try to remember what is specific to your surgery. At the beginning of my journey my doctors office gave us a handbook with do and don'ts to our specific surgery. What we can have at each stage and foods to avoid. I had RNY with the silastic ring. My stage one was clear liquid no red liquid from day 1 thru 7. Stage 2 day 8-14 full liquids including puréed. Stage 3 day15-31 soft foods small bites. Chew everything 20-30 times. But foods I was told to avoid that can either stretch your pouch or make you gassy I see a lot of people having, like Beans, mash potatoes, hot Cereal. I was given a guide of watch labels nothing over 10 grams of carbs or sugar. No broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and pineapple, citrus. For the first six months. Or until losing 70% of excess weight. Most all veterans I know have told me not to get discouraged with the stalls or plateau, they all went through them. Good luck to everyone. Did anyone have the Da Vinci robotic surgery? I had it I was the second person to have it done by my surgeon, I didn't have hardly any pain or gas feeling after surgery. My recovery has been great. But at my post-op class I met the person who was his first patient and she was miserable saying she regretted having the surgery done.

        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
