5 days out and jealous
i did 2 weeks liquids before surgery and 2 weeks liquids after surgery and then went to 4 weeks soft foods. It worked great for me. I had high blood pressure and ate soup all the time. I was on 2 blood pressure meds but now at 4 months out, I no longer have high blood pressure. I still eat soup but I do look for the ones with low sodium...
Kishamb,
Have patience. I was very impatient 2 weeks out from my VSG and spoke with the surgeon's nutritionist. She let me have protein soup. It really helped as I was sick of the sweet shakes and I was not getting enough fluids or nutrition. Be patient and time will slip by. Next thing you know you will be eating soft foods like cottage cheese and greek yogurt. Then soft fish and meat, etc.
It's important to let your stomach heal well before having regular food. Maybe distract yourself when you find you are obsessing on food.
I am here for ya.
