Ok so I had surgery on the 17th and weighed 195 lbs and 5'6 so not extremely big but I struggle to keep my weight to that on a day to day basis struggle.. Well, here's the problem I am thinking the surgery didn't work or something because I cam eat JUST FINE... Its not even two weeks wtc I'm suppose to still be on a soft food diet and I'm eating whatever I want and can eat quite a damn bit am I just a failure or what??????

Sorry to hear you are feeling the same way I was... I called my Dr and they have already set up my first fill.. They said I already needed a fill.. So I will get my first fill 3 weeks post op.. So u need to call dr office and let them know.. They also went ahead and put me on soft mushies at day 5.. Be careful with your cheat one of the complications can be bronchitis... Mine Hirt really bad as well but taking nice deep breaths seem to help me thru it.. It hurt but helped but my lungs felt like they weren't quite right after surgery... I am still on mushies and feel a ton better now... It will get better I promise from that I'm starving to death and shakes and broth suck after so long of that being ALL you have, but girlie stick it out this is going to be great!!! And don't get to irritable at the Fam like I did.. Haha, I was a meanie!!!

You Guys are all so awesome...I have since went back to soft foods, and I'm real irritable because of it.. I just can't wait to talk to my nutritionist and see if I can be released to solids yet.. I get my first fill on the 5th, so may e I will feel a little restriction then...I feel as if I have nothing of a tool in me it is all will power and I didn't expect this at all.. My Dr's and nutritionist said after sugery all the hunger pains are pretty much over... Well, that was a lie!!! Maybe for some but not for me....

@ Shannonreah... If my Dr had your plan I would be doing just perfect, but MG Dr doesnt release to soft foods until week 3 and then solids week 5...well, I had the shake thing down for a good month but then feel off the wagon cause they are NOT good to me.. Well, the ones he has me on anyway.. So I can't wait to talk to my dietitian and see what she says... And I am getting my first fill on the 5th which is rather quick considering I see most people wait till like week 6 or month 6..it will like be week 3-4 for me..

Well firtst off thanks for the website and Yes I do excercise bit it's not even been two weeks and the reasoning to the other lady for eating is because I am freaking starving.... I was still doing nothing but broth for 7 days when I was still very hungry like the sugary didn't work..and I lost 6 pounds on the Pre op diet cause I followed it to the T but they said after surgery I wouldn't be feeling these hungary pains.. And they are holding me off on solids of fear I'll vomit.. Well I havnt been nauseas ever and this broth and shakes are freaking rough when I know I can handle soft foods and there just saarrd I'll puke, so after mashed potatoes my body was phenin for some nutrition so I ate some more the next day along with steamed broccoli and I did fine... So you'll have to excuse me while next time I will take my questions to my nutritionist she has just been out for the holidays and didn't want to bother the dr cause I didn't feel it was an emergency by yes I already have my check up Monday so it will be a long day I'm sure...

I was under the impression that the diet is so important to make it to where you won't vomit.. Cause very important not to vomit.. Well I can eat just fine and trust me I'm NOT going to vomit so why can't I just eat small portions of solids as long as there healthy? Just can't quite figure out why it's so important to only drink liquids if my body can handle solids just fine. Not trying to be defiant just don't understand

Let me get something correct.. I am not eating whatever really it's just eating like grilled chicken and steamed broccoli and more healthy stuff but eating it with no problems at all and feel no restrictions... I am not even released to solids but truly thought I was starving myself and extremely weak and irritable so I just called and told them and they released me to mashed potatoes And it just went from there...I'm NOT messing up the band or amount of stomach pouch left or anything like that from eating am I???

I am 4 days post op and my left side (port site) hurts the most and for 4 days has been my only complaint.. It is super duper sore. Is this normal?? I can hardly sit down or get up cause it's so sore.
