I am like I said six weeks post op. I am on an almost 2 week stall. I am starting to regret my decision. I have found all the times I enjoyed with my kids,private time with my wife, and visits with my dad all revolved around eating. We would cook and share experiences. Now I get to watch the fun. I try to join but nothing with sugar or carbs just the Proteins. But then just a few bites because I'm full so choose which samples wisely. This is a much healthier alternative for sure. Problem is this isn't the life I had and enjoyed. Maybe enjoying life isn't so bad? Maybe it would be much shorter but it would have been a blast. Now I cook healthier for my family and they resent me for it. My daughter says "You chose to make these changes not me. I like my life and food before" It seems to be causing a division with friends and family. In a time of emotional overload feeling so alone sucks. Not sure if this was the right choice after all.

I thought about all this pre surgery also. It's much easier in the mind... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I never ate from emotion. I just always met for lunch or breakfast. Business lunches. Sunday breakfast out or home with 3-4 generations of family at the table. It's just harder now. I have started Yoga as well as hiking, swimming, and deep water aerobics. I am filling in the time space but missing on the memories of the dining experience. I never realized that the socialization of friends and family always revolve around a BBQ or a turkey dinner. I think this emotional thing will get better once I can start lifting weights and doing some form of fight training. That will swap this sissy emotional stuff with rage and pain.

I just cut mine out. No big deal. Just make sure you get it all out. Or contact your Doc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not sure if it's just me or what? I am fine one second and then want to break things the next. Am I alone on these mood swings? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Whew...I thought they might have sewed me back together crooked Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I woke today with what feels like a knife in my chest. I am on puréed diet and 18 days out. I will call first thing tomorrow to talk with my doc. Just wondering if anyone experienced this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I woke this morning to no pain. Oddly I think it might be related to my CPAP machine for sleeping. I didn't use it last night and kept belching all night. The pain must have been stuck gas. I put my sleep mask on this morning and with in 15 min I felt pressure again. It seems weird but I think it's pushing gas into my chest/stomach.

I was just wondering what could happening switching to purée a day or so early? I feel like I am going to puke tasting my shakes now. My body has obviously have enough of that flavor. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I left mine with the skin on and then put them in my ninja. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am in the same boat. I have been purée for 3 days. Haven't met my Protein or Water goals. And the texture makes me want REAL food. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gotcha. Stay on those fluids. It gets easier I promise! Nothing worth achieving comes easy. It took years to get to need surgery. You know this is a good secession. Just stay strong and know these hard days too will pass. Chin up

How much are you drinking? Possible kidney stones? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am getting about 50ml 3 times a day. That just seems like a lot. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's out now. It was removed Tuesday

I just boiled carrots, celery, onion, zucchini and ginger until mushy. Then I liquified them. I let that cook down to a nice bisque texture. I let it cool some and added unflavored pro turn powder. It tastes amazing and it's got protein. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Gotcha

What happens if it too hot?

True but they want 70g of protein daily. That definitely limits soups.

Stomach issues are right. As soon as I stopped pain meds the Water started to flow...still waiting for the valve to shut. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And...is it magnificent? I can't wait for some eggs Sunday!

I am so sorry. It's crazy how much treatments can vary between doctors. I was on clear liquids for 3 days. The first day before surgery and the 2 after. I have been on full liquids since. My doctors let you start purée at days 10 post op. I'm not sure what weight loss looks like for you all but I am 7 days tomorrow and at 12lbs today at my check up. I can't imagine what you are going through.
