Mine was a month, but it was combined with the liquids and soft Proteins so we could move around as needed since individual tolerances can vary so much. I don't think that I actually pureed anything (the pureed lettuce in the hospital is a bit off-putting!) but did some straining and mashing of chunks in the chunkier Soups initially until i found that it wasn't necessary.

Mine was 4 weeks. This followed 4 weeks of full fluids immediately after surgery. It was 2 months before I was allowed to move to regular foods.

10 days, followed by about a month of soft foods.

Yup, he's a little on the conservative side. Toward the end of the 4 week full fluids I was starting to go a little squirrely, but I remember being cleared for soft foods and thinking my first scrambled egg tasted like heaven! It's all behind me so I can laugh about it now, but there were some tough days in there!

My purée stage is for 2 weeks and it ends in 3 days!! With each stage I'm getting more excited. But I must admit that I do wish I could eat more, portion wise that is!

No purée specific stage on my plan. I had to do 1-2 days Clear liquids (in hospital), full liquids for two weeks which included yogurt and pudding, then 3 months of soft foods, followed by a return to "normal" with no restrictions (other than Protein goals and carb/fat limits).

For the soft food phase, it was recommended to move slowly. I never actually puréed anything; I just chose naturally soft foods like refried Beans, tuna with ff mayo, soft scrambled eggs, etc.

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

      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
