Wow that's a long time on clear liquids! My doc says to eat whatever you can tolerate once you are out of the hospital. It's up to me to experiment and see what my tummy can handle... But I'll bet you'll lose a ton of weight this first month :)

. A month of full is a lot. I have liquids this week. I did eat the inside of 2 deviled eggs today. Happy Easter. It sat well on my stomach.

I had surgery on Monday and I feel so so! I do have one incision that hurts like the dickens and it is really sore to get up and down. I have only been able to get about 24 oz of Water in a day. I constantly feel like it stays in my chest. It is uncomfortable so I don't like to do it. Any idea when this stops?

Yes the one on my right side hurts like hell and that happens to be the incision she pulled the stomach through. I really haven't eaten much but have been able to drink 40 ounces. How do u know when ur sleeve is full.

You'll feel full. Second week, u can start to feel it out.

My doc wants 2 weeks of liquids, 1 week puréed foods, 1 week soft foods & then normal foods. This is so your new stomach can heal. I am curious about everyone else's regimen. It's weird how everyone is so different.

I think mine is similar to yours.

I'm on clears for a month. Nothing you can't see through. It's a lot but maybe in the end it will help. And I will appreciate full liquids even more

I am 3 days post op. I have such bad gas and it hurts to get up and down. My surgery was on the 17th and I went home yesterday.. My dr has everyone on CLEARS for a month. Its hard to find things to add unflavored Protein Powder to. Day three and I'm already bored. I cant have FULL liquids until may 17th..

That's crazy!! I was on clear liquids for 3 days then super runny full liquids for 2 weeks. Now soft foods, which I've been on 1.5 weeks.

I'm down 30lbs since my one week prior to surgery pre op diet. I was sleeved 3/25. Starting weight 262, current weight 232. I pretty much eat whatever I want with the exception of shrimp, hamburger meat, solid fruits (can only eat bananas and fruits in juice).

        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
