Purée stage ??????



Recommended Posts

that going to vary according to surgeon. I was allowed to start up on purees as soon as I got home from the hospital, but some people (sounds like most) have to wait two - or three - or even four weeks.

Seems to vary a lot depending upon surgeon.

I was on a liquid diet for the 1st day after surgery, then moved onto puree on day 2 for the rest of that week. I'm now on soft diet until the 2 month point, where I move onto normal diet.

I was in the hospital for 3 days for my RNY. I started pureed food on day 2. Day one, just fluids.

As others have said, our programs don't really matter. Your Doc has a program that you need to follow.

Healthcare team had me move to soft foods on week 2. I was able to meet Fluid requirements. I was able to tolerate puréed meat, mushed hard-boiled egg.

      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.
