So, I know people will have different answers to this. i am curious what different people did, or experienced with relation to diet and activity and work. I am pre-op, sleeve to be done late Oct or early Nov. I'm looking for your post-op experience, in weeks, like maybe....

week 1 liquids--felt tired but ok, not hungry

Week 2 went back to work on day 9 after surgery

Week 2-4 purees and liquid --craving real food but not truly hungry

week 4-5---still working, but more tired than I thought I'd be....

week 5 ---started solids, 5-6 tablespoons

So, if you would, please give me your simplified first 6-8-10 weeks, and what was going on for you in terms of post-op foods, work activity, hunger, feelings, whatever you'd like to share. I just get overwhelmed by the massive amount of info online, I am readin and watching videos (Dr Weiner on You tube!!!) But, I'd love to see some real-live-post-op VSG people break it down in a really basic form.

Thanks!!

Week-1 liquids. Went to office a few hours self employed.
Week 2 - puréed food. Work full time big tired!!
Week 3 - liquid and some solid foods
Week 4 - liquid and solid. But super careful. Very small amounts and lots of chewing.
I have to be careful about gagging.

Can I ask when you had surgery? I am assuming 4 weeks ago? How long is the surg sites/abdomen painful?

Of course and yes 4 weeks ago. Don't kid yourself my first week was hell. I was so incredibly hungry. It was amazing. But I had other work issues that I had to attend to so I had to focus on other things besides myself. I'm actually thankful for that. I would have sat on the sofa and wallowed in my hunger.
