3 week liquid diet post op



Recommended Posts

Anyone else? Had surgery on the 25th and I'm counting down the days until April 16th. I'm off work until April 6th, and thankfully have a lot of work related trainings starting next week so that will keep my mind occupied.

I'm nervous about the puréed stage. I have huge issues with texture and while I had hoped it may resolve its self somewhat over the month of liquid only it doesn't seem to have made much difference. I fear I'll be living off yogurts and cottage cheese for Protein before I progress to the soft food stage.

Good luck to us!

I'm anxious to make a pot of bean Soup and purée it. It will be so comforting.

@@kamcar616 I break mine up I can't tolerate more than an ounce at a time. Getting all my fluids in has been super hard.

Getting my liquids has been hard because I haven't been awake the full 16 hours or so but I have no problems drinking. I'm still sipping and today my Dr said I can sip freely now instead of an oz every 15 mins, but I'm scared I'm going to stretch my pouch. Is that possible from liquids? How long do liquids stay in?

Oh I'm awake all day...2nd day no naps. I just feel full all the time. The thought of drinking anything makes me cringe sometimes. Don't think the liquids stay around long. I potty every 30 mins I think. I gained 19lbs of Water weight and have lost 17 of it so far.

      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.
