I was allowed 1/2 cereal at stage 4 of my diet. About one month post op. I eat Kashi Go lean, Quacker Oats high fiber oatmeal, Quinoa.

you are fine

Praying for you!!

Might be better if you stick to the proper food plan for now! it is important to follow what your NUT says. It might feel great going down, but it is still a lot of work for your new tummy. You are still healing. Your tummy needs you to be gentle to it. Eat things that are easy to digest and will not stress your tummy too much so early on. Good luck!

welcome!! hope everything goes well for you.

I can not believe it has been three months since my surgery!! I am happy that so far I have been doing great health wise. No complications( knock on wood). I am slowly learning what to do and what not to do. Although I am not losing as fast as I would like, but I am pretty happy with where I am so far. If I lose another 50lbs by Xmas, I will be one super happy gal THINGS I AM HAPPY about: I am able to walk 3 miles and even jog a little I am able to fit behind my steering wheel I am able to put my socks on while standing I am able to bend over and tie my shoes without losing my breath I am able to go up and down my stairs with looking/feeling 90yrs I am more out going and people are more receptive to me. May God continue to bless me through this journey with even more success stories.

oh yes!! I should have added that lol!!! good luck to you

I stayed home for six weeks because my insurance allowed it and my doc signed for it. I could have went back by week five if I had to. But again I do not do any type of lifting at work. I do not have to walk or stand for long periods of time. Three weeks seems kind of early. Your body needs a lot of rest at first.

CONGRATS!!! I dream of the day.....SIGH......

I can eat about three to four

you are doing great! can not really give you a set number. We are all so different! 20lbs is a good start!

Blast on your favorite music and work it out!!!! or read. But since physical activity is our best friend after surgery, exercise is my first choice.

Why is it strange?! I don't find it strange that someone wants to know if this is something she will have to deal with post surgery, or be totally free of. I thought we were here to inform ourselves about this surgery, so we can go in fully knowing what to expect?! @Marie, I still crave for things! But knowing it's not safe and/or it will slow my weight loss, keeps me in check lol!!! After surgery your appetite will be more manageable, and making the right choices ( eating healthy, exercising and drinking plenty of water) will help you be successful!! You will master your cravings and how to deal with them. I wish you the best

I ACTUALLY WENT TO TARGET TODAY AND BOUGHT A FEW BAGS!!! I am so happy I saw this post! I was not sure I could eat them

Ducolax stool softener (liquid gel).....easy on your new tummy and will give you smooth results:)
