I’ve already had slight buyers remorse when I think of random foods i probably will never eat the same again. Like nachos 😨 or deep dish 🍕. But I’ll take being healthy over that any day. I have to mentally snap back to reality. It’s a struggle.

3 days Clear Liquids, 11 days full liquids. Though it seems there's some variation in what is considered "full liquid", like my list doesn't include the cream Soups even though I am allowed pudding, yogurt, sherbet. I'm sticking to my list though since we're talking just 4-5 more days, it's just not worth quibbling about. Which I think you figured out too, lol.

I hate food police. This is why I don’t wanna tell a lot of people. Some people have nothing better to do then judge and examine other people’s lives. Super annoying. Where I work people gossip too much so I’m really avoiding telling anyone there!

Wow....mine only called for 2 (actually more like 10-11 days). I just graduated to slowly introducing soft food.

Ya you will be fine. I had 2 kids under 5 when we went not to long ago just sit down when u can. All the walking around will help with ur weight loss. Mall of america is fun. liquids suck but at least taking Protein Powder or drinking the already mixed ones will be easy to carry with you just remember to drink Water in between ur delicious Protein Drinks since u will be walking so much. Hehe i remember those days not to long ago i will never go back to pure liquids..

I’m alive! Walked two laps. Went to the bathroom and I’m sitting up. My nurse is convinced I’m a rockstar. I want a drink really bad, but not till 6:45. Not bad so far.

Woke up without pain today! Post op day 6. Down 14lbs from surgery date!

My VSG surgery was July 1, 2019; 3 nights in Hospital; Now 7 days Post Op; feeling stronger everyday

Tomorrow is my big day!!!! I have dreamed about this for a long time. I can’t believe it’s actually happening. I am so nervous. If you’re the praying type, send me a few!!!!

Supposedly the robot = quicker recovery and less pain. I would say my pain has been less than I expected but still painful. I was bloated... and distended.... for days. I just started passing adequate gas and had a BM on post op day 5. I re-added Protein Shakes now, a different type. Milk based were causing additional bloat so trying something different now! I feel ok but still needing oxy for pain. And all I want to do is sleep. I also had Tomato Soup last night, about 2oz. Wasn’t too bad!

Find healthy ways to eat your old favorites with no guilt. Nutrition is still flavorful.
Nachos - Quest tortilla chips, ground turkey 99% lean, taco seasoning, diced green and red bell peppers, onion, salsa and a small amount of cheese
Pizza - Veggies, turkey sausage and pepperoni (keeps calories lower) Small amount of cheese on a cauliflower crust.

Congrats! I had mine July 1st. So far no regrets and no complications 🤞🏽 I’m walking 30 mins daily on my treadmill and keeping clear fluids down. Next week I can start full liquids. Hope that goes smoothly as well.

I just had to cancel a work trip that is scheduled 3 weeks post op because the MD said no. However, It was only a two hour flight but I understood and the chance for blood clots was enough for me to just say ok DOC.

At 2 weeks post op we stayed in San Diego for 2 days to go to sea world and the tide pools and i brought an ice chest that we left in the car with things i can eat. At the hotel i was able to warm Protein broth in the microwave and in the cooler i kept protein yogurt , string cheese, sf pudding and few other things. It went fine. Alittle sad when everyone else gets to eat yummy delicious food and im the one eatting a yogurt with a plastic spoon but o well i tryed my best.. good luck with ur road trip it sounds so fun!

Thank you! I hope it’s speedy!

I just started Protein Shakes in addition to clears and so far so good 🤞🏽 I think I’m having head hunger thus wanting “real food”. I’ve been on liquids for almost 3 weeks now counting pre-op. I didn’t cheat once pre-op so I intend on same post-op. I’m too scared of creating unnecessary complications. 😟

I have 3 days clear liquids then 3-4 weeks full liquids.

My docter wanted me to do liquids for 1 month then pureed for 2months then soft food for a month. I went rogue at 3 weeks and started pureed for a week then moved to soft food a week later...

@Ren951 Also remember, just because the calendar says it's time to move on to the next phase doesn't mean your stomach is ready. You may have to stay in a phase longer than planned because your stomach is ultimately the boss!

Congrats to all of our July siblings below who have already started on the next leg of their journey!!! I'm so proud of all of you and praying for quick recoveries, easing of any pain/discomfort and continued success!

Well, I’m 7 days away from one of the most important decisions I have made in my life and yes! I’m excited!! Today also marks my 8th day of liquid Pre Op Diet. I’ve been following so many incredible journeys, gathering insight, great information and such supportive people. July 12th is my day! Can’t wait to share my experience with all of you.

Ok so I guess we all do have similar plans. I guess I’m just anxious to try new things. This first week has flown by already. I should count my blessings so far and stop whining. Lol 🤐 Thx for the replies! 🙂

I had RNY on July 3. I have 4 days clear and 11 days full liquid. I am struggling to meet my liquid and Protein goals, I can't even imagine eating real food right now. Im still learning how to manage my pain while getting some walking in during the day. I need this time to learn how to eat again, so I'm def not ready for real food anyway.
