I don't feel like we are judging you, we just aren't here to enable you if you decide to not to follow your surgeon's plan. You will probably be fine, yes. But really, you shouldn't be surprised that a lot of go to responses on here are going to be "follow your surgeon's plan".

And Dr orders are not the same my diet hasn’t changed and the only thing I’m adding is scrambled eggs a day early. I don’t think people understand that all of ours plans are not the same

If having a scrambled egg is out of the norm for my stage so be it. I’m confused as to why people think my plan is the same as theirs. I’ve been on a liquid diet for 3 weeks and I’m sure our orders are not the same.

My body can’t take another pudding, purée, fake Protein Premier shake, popsicles, Jello anymore man. Starting tomorrow I’m starting my soft foods 2 days early. Crap is not even healthy and I feel like I’m just welting away. I need eggs, fish, cheese, fruit, veggies with some type of substance. I feel so weak and I just threw up for the first time since surgery on mar 27th. I will let me doctor know but I have to move on to something different tomorrow.
I completely understand!!! I just started week 4 today and I am finally now on soft/pureed foods. For lunch I tried 1/4 cup cottage cheese with 2oz of sliced Turkey and just a few small pieces of pickles. I also added pepper for flavor. I could only eat like 4 small bites, but it was so nice to eat actual food!!!

No, doctor's plans vary greatly. My doctor had me on a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and *6* WEEKS after surgery. So I get it. But I've reviewed the posts and frankly I don't see anyone telling you to follow THEIR plan, they are advising you to follow YOUR SURGEON'S plan.

You do what you want. But just because you aren't getting the responses you want - which seems to be them supporting your choice not to follow your surgeon's plan - does not mean you are being judged. Youre going to find a lot more 'tough love' in these forums than you will enabling.

What do you mean it’s not tough love and it’s not backed up facts it’s opinionated. Responses are all over the place. So if I step out the box to have a scrambled egg it’s ok and I can take whatever comes my way. No big deal and I appreciate all the feedback

Trusting the surgeon is not the issue dear. My body is sick of the crap I’ve been eating and taken in the past 3 weeks and 2 days early is not an issue. I haven’t had eggs so I’m going to try eggs

Your surgery was two days after mine you are going to make two weeks. I feel the same way I am surviving on Water and feeling really weak. I am can't take anything else that's liquid. And to pass water it has to be super cold, otherwise, I can't drink it either.

On my plan, after a two week liquid diet, we are to self advance to the week 3 "purée" then week 4 "soft stage" when we feel our body can handle it. It seems like you should be close enough to listen to your body. I would just make sure to soft scramble it and take it slow. Good luck!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
