Yes, Everyone has different instructions. My instructions were over three years ago. I'm sure they are out of date. Best advice is follow your instructions given by your team.

Hi. My dietary guidelines were 2 days Clear Liquids after surgery followed by 2 weeks of full liquids then 2 weeks of puréed food. The following month is soft foods and the next month is solids. Is your plan similar?

I (and others, I'm sure) was offered clear liquids on the day of surgery and the day after.

I was ordered to be on a liquid diet for the first week. I am in my second week now. I am allowed to have "full" liquids this week. The third week I can move on to pureed foods. She said to do that for the full week and then, when I feel comfortable, start trying soft foods. The one thing I have been a bit confused on is portion sizes and calorie intake. I know we are supposed to eat until we are "satiated" and not full. Which is what I do. But I'm afraid my portion sizes are not big enough. I've been keeping active, so want to make sure I'm taking in the right amount. Good luck to you!

      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.
