I was cleared by my NUT today to eat whatever I want (within reason, of course) and it was great! My boyfriend (a chef) made us filet mignon with a mushroom sauce, garlic spinach and sweet potato. He was very cute and put about an ounce of steak, and about a half cup of each veg on my small plate, and I still couldn't eat half of it. But man, did it taste great! So much better to have real food after the last six weeks. And it will taste great for lunch tomorrow too!

Did you keep it all down? No tummy ache?

Nothing but bliss! I have been really lucky so far, I havent had any food issues. No dumping either.

I am sooooo jealous cause my program won't allow beef til 5 months post op. Very happy for you cause beef was a big part of my life pre op. Now it will have to be in moderation post op. Best of luck. Brian

Rib eye was my final dinner. With grilled asparagus. Surgery in the morning.

Good last supper! Best of luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. Brian

I'm four weeks out and everything I eat makes me sick, other than yogurt! I'm sick of yogurt! But wonder when I'll ever be ready for real food since I can't seem to even tolerate mashed potatoes or refried beans! I'm still on soft foods, any suggestions?

I'm right there with you and at 5 weeks out! A food goes down good one day then makes me sick another. I get sick at work which is awful because I'm s telephone triage nurse and when it hits during a call everything goes on hold. I'm so tired of it I guess I will just make Greek yogurt with added Protein powder my only food. It hurts to be constantly throwing up and drains whatever energy I have in the process.

No I don't regret having VSG but I thought I would have an easier time progressing to regular food. Now I just don't want to eat and risk vomiting each meal....yogurt stays down no problem. Go figure! ????????????
