Congratulations on such a huge weight loss ! :-)

Congrats! Are you able to get in everything needed? I keep reading stories about how hard it is to get it all in.

Thanks everyone, well I'm just following my doctor's and dietitian orders, and it seems my body is responding well.

Nana, you mean nutrients wise? Well I'm having a lot of supplements and protein shakes, in addition to the normal food. My diet was divided into 4 stages:

* stage 1: clear fluids ( Light Apple juice or Pineapple and jello) for 1 week after the operation

* stage 2: Semi liquid diet (low or no fat) for 9 days after stage 1, soups, yogurt, all kind of light juices, Jello and puddings.

* stage 3: Mashed diet with the introduction of carbohydrates for 14 days after stage 2.

* stage 4: Normal food, but preferably to start introducing 1 item at a time, as to see if anything could upset my stomach.
