Congratulations on your surgery date!! Im just begining my journey as well. My surgery date was April 4, 2011, so that puts me at 13 days post op today, and i have lost 15 pounds thus far. Im still on the liquid diet phase, and I should be advancing my diet this week once my Dr. gives me the green light. The first week was tough since i had lots of esophagus pain with any liquids. It was hard for me to swallow any food due to the pain. In all my research and pre op visit, there was never mention of this pain, so it was a big surprise for me. The good news is that it was short lived and it resolved by day 10. The pain has gone away and i feel WONDERFUL!!
I found that Bariatric Advantage supplements easily dissolve and taste somewhat tolerable. Also, i start my morning with a warm tea, which seemed to soothe my esophagus. Best Wishes for your surgery, and i look forward to to seeing your success.
