How many months post op are you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Almost 18 No wonder you can eat a pork chop! your post made me hopeful:) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow mine is totally different but I like yours much better!!! I had 2 weeks of liquid diet...1 before and 1 after and then purée with no meat:( Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App yup...I am loving mine. we did have two weeks of liquid pre-op, but the ability to slowly incorporate food post op has been great. I haven't ventured to chicken yet, but scrambled eggs have sit well. During my one week follow up they mentioned trying chicken thighs highly moistened and shredded/pureed. So that will be my next meat. I am melting inches, but they note it will be 5 to 10 lbs of weight loss per month. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App I tried eggs my first morning for soft foods and they didn't sit to well but will try again with a different version. Good for you though! Thanks the above helps me too. Tried Lamb Burgers with Mint Yogurt sauce yesterday and they were tasty and sat well on stomach...whew!How much did you weigh going in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App That sounds good, may have to give it a try...My HW was 227, and came home from surgery @217 after gaining from all the drip. At my one week was down to 207, so looking forward to my one month check up to see where I land. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App Here is the recipe and good for you!!!

I'm 3 weeks Post Op and have been taking my B Complex and was told to take this the first 30 days following surgery. My question is did you continue taking this AND what I really want to know is what brands do you all recommend? My doctor advised getting the ones at their store but I like to explore options from those of you have been taking them for awhile. Also, I prefer gummies or something palatable any other options outside of these nasty chalk tasting Vitamins? Thanks in advance for your help! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Nice! I'm asking the following for me not being judge mental...they said you could have OJ? Or OJ watered down? And ketchup? Was ketchup sugar free or low sugar because I just discovered it while shopping and bought for me (eventually) but for family to have healthier option. Asking because I'm learning and Thur will make 4 weeks post op for me. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Have you spoken with your doctor? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same for me too. I agree with the comments above once you get to purée it's easier to detect. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No problem! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks can't wait to try! I'm 3 weeks post op starting soft food today...what week do you recommend this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App When your doctor clears you for it. Not being a smart ass, but every plan is different. I was about 6-8 weeks in before I could have the above. No worries I understand and so I'm seeing that on here. I was just curious and trust I'm following my doctors plans Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I'm only week 2 post op but have lost exactly 6lbs each week. I hope this will continue because if I do I will be at goal weight the last week of next month or first week of February. I'm wondering if this is realistic? Did this happen for anyone? Or did you experience great fluctuations weekly? Anything you wish to share is helpful and appreciated!

Heaviest 210 (I'm 5'4)SW: 195 CW: 178 Yeah I'm seeing what you mean a bit as that third week only lost 2lbs vs the 6lbs week 1 & 2 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App at 210, you're what another forum calls a "lightweight". You're most likely not going to see huge drops like someone who starts out twice your weight would. It'll be more likely slow and steady for you...but it'll still come off. Haha lightweight tell that to all these clothes that don't fit but I get it and thank you. Just ready to get pass all the medical problems. Looking forward to the loss as it comes but again to good health! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Glad to hear. I've already planned to take Vitamins the rest of my life:) just trying to figure out better brand and if expensive vitamins are necessary, but to your point being able to buy at Walmart. There are so many options it gets overwhelming being new to this and simply trying to make the best decision. Is it the Walmart brand? Thanks for you help!
