Oh man I was very much in that same boat of eating foods outside the stage I was in. Figuring out what kinds of foods I can eat has gotten better though. My instagram and tiktok algorithms are now full if meal and food suggestions because im constantly looking for ideas. Its helpful when im trying to make a grocery list haha. Good luck with the eggs haha. It'll get better. I eat eggs in egg salad form...smashed up, a little seasoning and a VERY small amount of low fat mayo or cottage cheese just so it's not so dry. If it make a lot I just split the portion to eat later in the day.

Thanks for asking. I'm doing much better. The "demons" have settled. Logic and reason have kicked in. I'm taking everyone's advice, trying harder to be kinder to myself, and doing my best to stick to a walking routine. I've been losing a consistent 2-3 pounds a week. It's slow, but it's happening, and that does make me happy. I told myself that regardless of whether I lose weight or not, I need to continue walking and staying on top of what I'm consuming (in terms of amount and stage ie. puree stage). Things WILL happen, I need to stick with it and not give in 😉

Hello, I am exactly 2 weeks post op from sleeve surgery. I'm thankful that I've had a great recovery so far with almost no issues, except the mental ones. As the days go by, I'm beginning to feel myself feeling more and more paranoid and anxious. Paranoid that I did all this and NOTHING is going to happen, even though I'm already losing weight. As if it's too good to be true, and any day now, like always with diets I've done, the weight that I'm losing will just come flooding back. Paranoid that my recovery has been great...... suspiciously too great, and that I'll suddenly get some kind of infection and drop dead. That last one is a fear I've had because YEEEARS ago, a colleague of mine passed away after they had weight loss surgery recovery complications. However, even with these fears, I'm also very excited but also anxious. Time just isn't moving fast enough to see the results of all this. Waiting and not pushing to start something too soon to avoid complications. The same complications I'm fearful of. Am I making sense? My doctor said to limit my exercise to walking for now. But again, my paranoia is pushing my anxiety to exercise more now before it's too late and everything goes to S@%#. UUggHhh!!! It's a Mental Cycle. Please tell me I'm not the only person in this loop. At the end of the day, I take a few breaths and calm myself down. My family and friends help to keep my mind straight haha.

Thank you both so much. I'm glad to hear that I wasn't just ruining my recovery haha

Hello, newbie here. I'm 4 days post op. VSG and am in the week 1 all clear liquids phase. Has anyone experience very little to NO DISCOMFORT when taking sips of liquids? Day one or 2 after the surgery, its wasn't painful or anything but when I was sipping anything, it felt like liquids were slow moving but eventually it would pass. I figure.. oh ok its because I have a smaller stomach of course. Now day 4 I'm feeling like im able to sip liquids and I feel completely fine. Is that normal? Like no fullness, no slow feeling going down, I feel nothing. Sometimes I think I'm drinking TOO much at once. This morning I noticed that in about 15-20 minutes I drank 14 oz. and I feel fine... I actually started feeling "hungry" maybe an hour later. 🤔
