Oh I remember that. I absolutely HATED the liquid stage and was soooo happy to hit pureed stage in week 2! I LIVED off the Ricotta Bake! Though blended tuna and avocado was good too! And soft food stage in week 3 was fantastic! I had a slice of cauliflower pizza on my first day of soft foods lol. Those five days will pass before you know it!

Yep. My diet was 1 week liquid, 1 week puree, 2 week soft food, then general diet (but minus starchy food, processed foods, berries, Beans, lettuce, and nuts. I can have berries, lettuce, and nuts now, and beans in SMALL quantities).

Oh, man! I am supposed to be on liquids for the first two weeks, but their "liquids" include thicker stuff like drinking yogurt and blended Soup. Wonder if I would be okay to have something heavier now, like mashed potatoes. Ugh! Just want a taste of something that isn't those two things right now. >.<

I know it's tough - but stick to your surgeon's program!

Funny enough I'm almost five months out and I STILL can't have anything potato... my nutrition guideline doesn't allow it until at LEAST my sixth month. So I still got at least a month and a week before I could eat mashed potatoes lol

Woohoo! I'm happy for you.

Don't sweat the liquid phase after your surgery. Trust me, you won't be hungry AT ALL. The preop liquid diet is much tougher than the post op one. YOU GOT THIS!

I'm on liquids for two weeks then pureed for two weeks. What is the Ricotta Bake and blended tuna and avocado? They both sound so delicious right now. What other yummies can you suggest?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
