I had VSG 12/18 and I will be able to eat soft foods on Tuesday . Just wondering how long (from surgery ) did it take you all to eat solid foods ?

I had surgery on dec 9 and still cannot eat soft foods.. Still do better on purée. If I try to eat soft.. I regurgitate it. So purée goes on for me.

It took me about till week 4-5 to get some odd solid foods in. Week 6, a bit better.. and it goes on week by week, trial and error.

Even at nearly 4 months out, what I can eat and what doesn't sit well changes by the day and often, by the hour!!

Don't let that discourage you. Take it slow, steady, fairly soft and fairly bland and you'll be well on your way.

I could have a limited list of soft foods after two weeks. At eight weeks I could go unrestricted. I'm in my 11th week and so far there is nothing my body has rejected.
