Supposed to start "normal" foods this Thursday, but I didn't have anything ready for lunch so I had a rotisserie chicken thigh without the skin. Ate the whole thing, but I am stuffed. My stomach is handling well though. It is amazing. Before surgery I could eat half a chicken and still have room for potatoes, veggies and bread.

That's awesome! I can't wait to eat some real chicken. Have you tried anything else now that you're cleared?

Technically I am not cleared for regular food until this Thursday, but I have had some bites of things. I can have low fat cheese, so I have had some weight watchers string cheese with a couple of slices of deli turkey for a snack. I would love to have som fruit, but I don't think I could fit it in and still get all my Protein. I just can't eat enough yet to have both.

Getting the Protein in via food is so difficult especially in the pureed stage, can't wait for solids

What Multi-Vitamin is everyone taking? The one I've been taking, given to me by my nutritionist is a chewable that's chalky and nasty and I think I think to change. Thanks!

How are you guys able to eat raw vegetables so soon? My surgeon says no veggies for 6 months so I’m afraid to eat them. I LOVE asparagus and broccoli!!

Everything is so different! I am basically on no restrictions except salad and a lot of raw veggies and am 4 weeks out today.

I got a women's daily Gummy from costco bc I couldn't stand the chewables. I'll take the few grams of sugar in order to be able to get the Vitamins in !

I purchased the Bariatric Multivitamin with Iron from this site. I bought 12 months worth for $99, so that seemed like a deal and the vitamin/mineral amounts met the guidelines I was given by my surgery team. They are a capsule, but easy to swallow for me.

Wow!! My surgeon says “NO GUMMIES” and “NO RAW VEGGIES”!! No rice, no bread, no popcorn, basically no starch. Everything is so different with every surgeon.

Even veggies that are cooked until soft? Wed. will be 30 days for me and I begin regular food starting with soft Proteins and veggies.

      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.
