Follow your doctor's protocol. It's hard but it is important. I had seven weeks on liquids total. It wasn't easy all the time, but it helped build some discipline I need now that I'm on solids and have a band fill. Good luck.

Follow what your surgeon says it's very important.

The reason you have to do this is to reduce your liver for surgery to make it easier for the surgeon to get to your stomach.

Remember that after surgery you will be on liquids for a few weeks to help your new sleeve to heal. Your sleeve is delicate and takes months for it to heal properly.

I know this even though I had gastric bypass I was first preparing for the sleeve and didn't change procedures until two weeks before surgery.

Please don't cut corners here you need to do this for everything to go right with surgery.

I wish you the best with your upcoming surgery.

Follow your surgeon's directions, I can't stress how important that is. There are reasons why they want you on liquids, your stomach needs to heal .... plus you lose weight - isn't that what you wanted ?

Also.... if you eat solids too soon you may have some really bad pains - its not worth it!!!

I was on the full liquid diet (full allows SF/FF yogurt and pudding and strained LF cream soups) for nearly six week after surgery. It was frustrating, be certainly doable. I wanted something to chew, but I was perfectly healthy and not hungry. You can do it!

Every doctor is different. Mine will require 2 weeks.

      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. 🤞
