Does 2/15 count? Feeling much better. My doctor had me on Clear liquids for 3 days, then switch to full liquid. One week out he has me on puree. Next week I'm supposed to try soft foods. It's much faster than other schedules I've heard about, but so far, so good. Not having problems with the Water, probably because I easily drank 16-24 oz. of coffee plus Water each day pre-surgery. I was already a "sipper." Discovered my limit is 3 TBSP of pureed food. Anything more and I feel it.

Gained 5 pounds from the surgery. :angry: But that went away fairly quickly. By my scale, I've lost that plus another 5 pounds. My doctor's scale weighs 3 lbs. heavier than mine does. As far as they're concerned I've lost 2 lbs. Grrr. Oh, and I had my stitches out!

Hi Niya

I had mine on the 2nd Feb 2016, so just over 3 weeks ago. I live in London but I went to the Czech Republic to have it done. It was really good.

I struggled at first when I first came home with all the change and missing food but I'm now a lot happier and beginning to understand my new stomach!

I'm eating basically Soups, oats for Breakfast, humus , cottage cheese, fresh juices of fruits and veggies..

I'm not going to rush into normal food at all. I've lost 20 pounds so far ..

What about you? x

I had my surgery on the 16th. I'm feeling pretty good. Lost 15 pre op and am now down 21. My surgeon started me on full liquid diet on day two. I went back to work yesterday and should start soft foods next Wednesday. Hardest part so far is not being able to pick up my son.

Im on full liquids. Ahh lol. Cant wait for pureed food . I was in the hospital for 2 days after the surgery was really nauseous and in pain. I too gained weight while in the hospital. I gained 3 pounds. I guess its from the IV fluids? ? But overall from start of preop diet til now i lost 17 pounds. Some pounds is better than no pounds so ill take that .

Hi , thats great.. im glad everything went well and that you are feeling much better. 2o pounds is great , keep it up. Im with you on taking it slow. I would say i do miss food well i guess the texture of food lol since doing liquids. I do find myself not as hungry as before. Inhave lost 17 pounds from the preop diet on 2/2 til now which is i think 9 days after surgery.

      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
