Has anyone made the mistake of eating solid food to early?



Recommended Posts

I was advanced to soft foods at around 10 days.

if you do this again you might want to consider something not chicken - something like cottage cheese, or scrambled eggs or refried Beans. Most plans do not have meats until 4 weeks or so.

I'm 7 days post op and I had my follow up today. My doctor told me to go home and Tyra scrambled eggs but don't vomit -- exact instructions-- I thought it was funny. He told me to do eggs and soft fish this week

K and begin adding other foods as tolerated next week. If you tolerated the one bite of chicken, I would think you are fine. You may wan to just eat mushy things though going forward.

solid food? No didn't try but puréed foods? Yes. I think I tried a few bites of sugar/fat free pudding a day earlier than scheduled. Please just make that chicken your last bite until cleared by your program.

Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I was in 2 oz every hour for 3 weeks after surgery. I also was allowed juice dilated 50% with Water. Puréed Soups 2oz, sugar free Popsicles, Water with slice lemon, orange or cucumbers in it. That kept me going and feeling fine during my 3 weeks of liquid diet. I was not allowed any soft foods until 3 weeks after surgery. Surgeon wanted my stomach to heal, but every surgeon is different. Just keep sipping through out the day and you should feel full. Good Luck

      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.
