The first day is HELL! By next week you'll feel like yourself again :-)

I was allowed 2 cups of vegetables a day during my pre op diet, I secretly ate a few bites of rice and nothing happened.... Butttttt I am considerably smaller than most wls patients and only had to do 7 days (my doc usually has a 14 day mandate)

Mine goes : 3 weeks thins liquids (anything that can fit through a straw) Week 4-6 : purees/ soft (anything applesauce consistancy) Week 7-8 : deli meat,tofu, boiled chicken, toast and crackers, Beans and pea, well cooked Pasta Month 2: poultry (skinless) , soft cooked veg, melon , moist ground meat in sauce Minth 3: rice, soft bread, duck Month 4: veal, crunchy fruit and veg (salad ), veal Month 6 : steak and pork

Will do! It was ob my list of suggestions from my NUT, sounded good , i love spinach in all forms!

I did a barium test but I nevernsaw it I was so jacked on morphine... I want an Xray too! I was just talking about this last night! I'm going to request one for my 1 month post op ( I'm 12 days in )

I know about chest size girl I started at a 42 F and now I'm fitting a EE lol I would love to be a C!! Can't wait!!

Wow I have been posting innthe wrong forum! I have been using the iPhone version of vst talk and I didn't realize inposted this in success stories lol! I should post this is qnA!

Thats what I mean, what if you get more serious and then you tell him about it? I havent really told anyone i had this surgery (except fam and close friends) People really do judge, even when they seem like theyre not

Oh HEY!! Lol lookin good!!

Absolutely gorgeous cograts!!!

Thats a great idea! As a nursing student i spend long hours in school, did anyone buy some portioned to-go containers? How many timesdo you guys normally eat in 5 hours

I am 22 years old living in ny ( where men are already scarce as is !) and I'm nervous that since I've been vsg'd that men may find me a lot less appealing since I've had this surgery. Has there been any women here that have been sleeved and found it harder to date? I know people like us Are judged, and I'm nervous that if I find a guy he may be turned off by it? I've been single for a long time and a part of this surgery was hopeful to make me More attractive as well as all of the other great things that goes with it ( having heart disease and such)

Did you guys buy baby plates that are sectioned off ? I would love to find a compartmentalize plate that is 4 oz

Yea a lot of my being over weight went right to the chest lol. Cant wait for those to go!! Can eait for meatloaf and farina!!

Ive decided on meatloaf finely mashed and creamed spinach!!! Ahhh!!! Its so exciting

Lol better!? Dam maybe its reflux idk i dont feel any reflux symptoms anymore and i take reglan 3x a day for it! I just am so hungry

Wow great! I'll keep those in mind! They have more protein than a glass of milk too!

Ive been craving food every day (mcdonalds, tacos, chips, burgers/dogs, etc.) what do i do to stop these cravings!? Im only 12 days post op liquids now puree's on thursday! Ahh!!

Yes thy did it the next day! I stood on the thing and drank the yuky stuff, but i was SO out of it I just wanted to sit down !

Lol yup youre probably right, my surgeon wrote the book "weight loss surgery for dummies" (marina kurian). I bet she is no dummy!

What if she accidenty did bypas or band. Idk im just over thinking

Do you ever get paranoid that your surgeon did the wrong procedure? Lol i know im going crazy but i'd love to see an xray just to be sure. Lol
