I have stayed religous to the diet and I have lost 25 pounds since surgery. I am suppose to be on creamy fluids, but today I tried chicken noodle Soup and it tasted great and went down no prob. Am I cheating, is this going to affect anything? Should I go back to just creamy Soups?

Congrats on the 25 lb weight loss!

I suggest you go back to creamy fluids. Even though you probably didn't hurt anything, it is best to follow your doctors guidelines to a T. Give your stomach time to heal. I know it's hard to be on liquids, but it is crucial that you follow your doctors instructions, especially the first few weeks. Believe me, it will be worth it. Good luck to you!

you should follow your post op diet to the letter. There are many indications that not following your post op diet can lead to slippage.

Strain the Soup and just eat the broth...the same yummy taste will be there without the solids. Also, many blend soups...but I didn't per drs. orders...well, the nutritionist anyway...it's only a short time...you will get through it. Be firm and don't eat what you are not supposed to!

You really need to stick to the post-op diet. The stages of liquids to mushies to solids is set the way it is because your new structure (stomach around the band) needs this critical time for healing. Scar tissue is forming around the band to set it in place. You don't want to risk a complication.

I remember being allowed to eat Lipton chicken noodle Soup (with the tiny pasta) during Phase II (Weeks 3 and 4).

That depends... did you eat the noodles? If you did, I would stop that! Just stick to the diet... 4 weeks isn't that bad.

I ate some mashed potatoes with a small piece of chicken today. I just could not resist. I made sure I chewed thoroughly, but now I feel like something is tight in my upper GI area. What are symptoms of slippage.

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

        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.

      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
