@@Ruby81 Try posting in the post op forum - you may get more replies. Also - if you're in the UK - things seem to be very different with post-op diets. Many of us here in the States aren't "allowed" fruit. Our diets focus a lot on Protein and I believe that's not the case there. There's also a UK forum. Congrats on your surgery!

Were you provided with a written lost-op food plan?

I have a whole folder of various things. I went to required numerous classes also. I have a page of example mesls for the stage of diet that I am on. Such as full liquid...mushy...then somewhat regular diet with restrictions. I cant have grains, Pasta, bread until i have lost 75% of my projected weight loss. Not many gray areas with my doctor. I like how it is layed out and leaves me few questions. They are very helpful to their patients.

Yes i do have post op meal plan. Pretty much 4 times a day 4 ounces of Protein drink mixed with skim or 1% milk. 2 broth or sodium 4 oz daily. Must get 64 ounces of liquid in each day. I can have pureed chilli or bean or pea Soup for the sodium. I do thid for 3 weeks. Then on to mushy getting in my required Protein daily for 3 weeks. I have charts marking off all those things that need returned to the doctor for the 6 weeks.

Did you talk with your nutritionist (abbreviated as NUT on this site) or dietician? On my program I was on Clear liquids for 2.5 weeks after my surgery. No fruit juices and had to even dilute sugar free non-carbonated beverages. My surgical team said it was to allow my stomach to heal. But different surgeons have different instructions so check with your team.

Hi Ruby, I am in the UK and had my surgery recently on the NHS. I posted some scans of my food stages on a previous thread which you can see here http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/372970-sleeve-soon/page-2

However it's important to remember that you need to follow the plan that you would have been given as you might have different requirements to anyone else. Did your bariatric team give you a booklet like this?

I choose not to drink my calories unless it's a Protein drink. fruit is ok later on, but whole fruit, not juice, so you get the benefits of the Fiber, too.

Strawberries were out for me for 6 months. Those little seeds can work their way into your staple line and cause issues.

Talk to your doctor, I'm only telling you of MY experience.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
