Sounds about average time for most of us sleeves! Soon u will progress to puréed and will feel more substance.. Are u allowed full liquids such as yogurts and strained Soups?

At about 3 weeks after surgery we were on pureed and soft foods, mostly Soups, broth, and shakes. Most everyone goes through this. So you are not alone. You have lost 46 lbs., and that has to be so worth it. At about 4 weeks I was "tasting" a spoonful of FF refried Beans, just little bites. I was also told I could eat very soft well cooked chicken in a crockpot, and I choked on the small piece of chicken and had such pain I thought it was a heart attack. Moral of my story I recommend you be patient, don't try to overdo it, and nibble some soft food here and there, to see how you are going to do. Best wishes! Chew those sugar free popsicles too, they are awesome!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
