1 week post op and starving



Recommended Posts

For the fourth tomorrow, I'm planning to take a small can of baked Beans and pureeing it with a fat free hot dog and some Tomato juice and ketchup and BBQ Sauce. It'll be my holiday treat.

MMMMM -- that sounds great. (pretty sad when i think a FF hotdog & baked Beans pureed together sounds good......LOL)

Are you on full liquid stage or pureed stage?

Thanks!

Full liquid, that's why I'm pureeing everything and then making it into a Soup with broth or juice or FF milk.

My nut said at this point I can be on pureed foods, but I'm trying to go very slow. I don't want to do ANYTHING to disrupt the healing of this band.

She did give me a list of things I can flavor my food with and salsa is one of them, which amazes me since salsa has chunks in it. So I was cautious and put it in the blender, too.

I can flavor things with just about anything, catsup, mustard and BBQ Sauce are all allowed (by my list) on full liquid as well.

I'm amazed that full liquids includes runny oatmeal and grits, too. Wow! But I again am pureeing and souping those up, too. I really am trying to be good.

Though I am already planning what my first real food will be. I think I'll have some crab legs before I get filled for the first time.

My doc said to day 5 liquids only (not just clear...just liquid)...day 5-10 anything pureed is okay...as long as you can suck it through a straw. Heck, give me a big enough straw and I'm eating a WHOPPER!! hahahaha

Chele,

I want that same straw!! I am almost done with 2 of my 4 weeks of liquids. Unless when i go to the doc next week I can talk him into moving me onto soft/pureed.

The 4th picnic was hard. There i am with my cream Soup watching everyone else eat -- but it was satisfying to know that i did it. Plus, that morning, i went into my closet and I was able to wear a shirt that I hadn't been able to wear in over a year. That was super sweet. Made creamy chicken soup taste good.

Campbell's Soup at Hand is a good product (avoid the ones with tiny Pasta pieces, though), Creamy chicken, Cream of Broccoli, Creamy Tomato, Classic Tomato, Blended Vegetable Medley, Vegetable Beef, Clam Chowder, Creamy Potato are just a few of the options. Very few chunks.

Imagine brand Soups are also good as are the Gold Label boxed Campbell's soups.

Oh yeah. they are good. I love the creamy chicken. I went to the dollar store today and bought all they had. Okay, that was only 8 -- but I have a hard time finding them.

        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.

      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
