My surgeon gave me a sample pureed menu that included things like tuna salad so I'm definitely confused on what I can and can't eat. I do have a follow up with them tomorrow (1 week post-op).

One of my friends who went through the same program I did said she lived off of mashed potatoes and hummus during her pureed phase.

Let us know what the surgeon says about the diet. I don't see my surgeon or nutritionist until one month post op.

I loved meat loaf and mashed potatoes when I was on the puréed stage. Pretty much anything my family was eating I tired. I put it in my mini chopper and ate. I also loved Shelly's ricotta bake.

We are learning what foods we can eat post surgery so try everything. You'll find that you don't like some of your old favorites and develope new tastes.

Two of the things I don't care for now is chicken and tuna.

So jealous you are on pureed! I'm 11 days out and on full liquids until day 21, then I get pureed foods. I have a binder from my center that has each stage with a sample menu and foods to eat.

I met with my nutritionist this morning. She gave me a packet with some conflicting information from the original packet. She said basically anything with that "greek yogurt texture" should be good.

Thanks for the update. It does all seem confusing to me too. I start pured on Thursday and fill like i will be just winging it. I know I'm going to go really slow. Good luck and let me know some of your favorites.

What does full liquids include for you?

Hello! I'm 7 days post op today. My one week f/u app is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm supposed to eat an egg cooked any way I want before my appointment. If I tolerate it well, I will start soft/mushy foods. I'm allowed to eat anything you can smash with a fork and chew until the food has the consistency of apple sauce. I've been on liquids for 7 days and I ate Soup, yogurt, pudding (once), and cream of wheat (twice). I made salmon and mashed potatoes for dinner tonight. Can't wait to try it tomorrow. (I did taste test both)...went down well but that's all I had. I just drank a glass of milk instead of eating more. I will say I'm having a hard time knowing when I'm full. When I have my Soup or yogurt I just eat half or less but I haven't actually felt full...or hungry.

      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.
