Recommended Posts

Hi guys! Im brand new to this forum. Ive just been reading through heaps of fantastic advice! Im being sleeved in Brisbane on Feb 15. Sooooo excited!

I know you have all probably answered this question to death, but can you tell me, what basic food days looks like for - liquid, puree, soft and then also a normal food day. Just basic. Kind of looking for some ideas on what to stock my fridge and pantry with prior to surgery.

Has your NUT or surgeon given you advice on what they want you to eat post op?

You should really go by their guidelines and congrats on the surgery!!

Not long now :D

Every surgeon has different guidlines for post surgery. I'm having mine on Feb 17th in FL. My surgeon has me on puree right away, progressing to solids in about 1 week. I will still need a minimum of 40 gr of Protein in shakes daily for the first year.

I found Premier Protein at Sam's for a good price!

My surgeon was hopeless, gave me a pamphlet and said follow this for the next 3 weeks. Wasnt at all helpful. My sister is a dietician and put me on to a book 'Your complete guide to nutrician for weight loss surgery.' I bought it on google play store and have found it a great resource. Gives you meal plans and recipes under each phase of post op surgery.

Hope this helps x

This site has some great recipes for all of the food stages. I HIGHLY recommend the baked ricotta in the puree stage:

Since each surgeon is different, its hard to say. For instance, my progression went Week 1 Clear liquids, Week 2&3 full liquids (which included things that were not liquid), Week 4 soft foods, and then progressed through 12 weeks. At week 14 today, there are still foods that I cannot eat. I will not eat a dense meat like steak until April 26 and I was sleeved on 10/26/2016. If you are getting no guidance from your surgeon or nutritionist, it's kind of scary, but in that case...if you PM me your email, I'll be happy to send you some of the sample pages from my booklet.

      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.
