Yah jan 28th i started pureed diet. I have a magic bullet so i practically made it all into baby food. The squash i made very liquidy so its almost like Soup it goes down better. But the egg puree i made like devil eggs and whipped it. Its really good and easy on my stomach and high protien. I used cottage cheese and 1 teaspoon of fat free mayo and 12 egg yolks. The avocado the same i whipped it in my bullet and its great. I even had some cream of wheat with cinnamon and the stevia brown sugar, that was good too on my stomch. Keep in mind im only eating a few small teaspoons and im full. But my surgeon said i was good to go. One week from now i start regular soft moist foods.

My surgeon must be really conservative. 2 weeks full liquid, 2 weeks purée, 2 weeks soft, then slowly introduce solid foods

I am also eating small portions of soft puréed food. I haven't had any problems lately. The dizzy spells are gone now. Gatorade zero really helped with those. I'm 2.5weeks out. Surgery in Mexico.

Have you been getting all your Protein and liquids in? I know if I don't get all my Protein and fluids in I don't loose weight. Also has your doctor released you to start walking?

I haven't seen my doctor yet. I have an appointment on Monday. I try to get 60 g of Protein in a day. 2 shakes and I have been eating eggs. My blood pressure is very low. Today it was 99/69. And so I haven't been walking as I'm shaky and weak. It's very frustrating and then to top it all off I haven't lost any weight at all this week.

So you were on full liquids for 3 weeks before pureed food? Wow thats will power! Great job! My doctor said i can start eating regular food this Thursday as long as it is soft and not dry. I have already been on pureed for one week, it was a very slow go, mostly full liquids anyways. Surgery was on the 18th. Its been great. Good luck tomorrow!

      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.
