My surgery was on March 9th. I had post op appointment on March 16th and I am down 23 pounds since starting the two week pre-op diet. I am now on a pureed diet which is a welcome change from the liquid diet. I don't care if I ever eat another popsicle and chicken broth/cream of chicken Soup will only be used in recipes when I am cooking. My biggest dilemma is getting in all of my Water for the day. I love water but hate that I can't take the big gulps that I was able to before the surgery. Good luck everyone!
