So, I'm officially a month and a few days post op from revision- vsg to rny to be exact. I wanted to know what you guys are eating at this point. I'd like to try a new few ideas. liquids are going down pretty easily as well as soft foods, but I'm having trouble eating solids. Anything I eat goes right back up :(

I think everyone just heals and adapts at a different pace according to their body, and not their mind! So just give yourself more time and keep experimenting, but maybe with tiny amounts at first and if all is well a little more later. I hope you can eat more solids soon

My Stage 3 what to expect sheet says that "vomiting is almost always related to eating. Slow down! All of the following could cause vomiting: eating too fast, not chewing well, eating too much, eating foods not soft enough too soon, drinking liquids with food, drinking with a straw, lying down after a meal, or eating foods you do not tolerate." I hope that helps you!

My stomach is not tolerating any solids aside from my Protein Snacks and cheese. Everything else tends to come back up unfortunately.

Gosh, that's no fun I'm sure! I would ask your doc then as I don't know why your body is throwing up so much!! That is not the way it's supposed to be so get it addressed by your doc asap!

It isn't whatsoever. I spoke to him regarding this he just told me to introduce new foods little by little and to go with whatever I'm able to tolerate. If this persists he will schedule some testing, but I'm hoping it doesn't need to get that far!!

I hope your whatever it is gets with the program soon and you are able to enjoy life more. Like I said it's not supposed to be like this for you! Be patient and try to follow the instructions off my sheet up there. I don't know what else to tell you other than you'll be in my thoughts and consider yourself hugged!

I still ate a lot of soft/moist foods at that point. I cooked (read over-cooked) a lot of veggies at that point, ate Soups, made baked ricotta, tuna salad. I struggled with things that others had no problems like refried Beans and scrambled eggs. Personally I think that a lot of people rush the stages and/or portions when they have years of regular food ahead. Go at your body's pace and keep in communication with your surgeon as you have.

I couldn't agree more! I will continue with my soft foods until I feel my body is ready to handle other foods. There is no need to rush and as long as I'm keeping in contact with my surgeon and meeting my Protein requirements, all is well!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
