I'm interested too in what puréed foods people started with. I'm going to be starting on March 1st also. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@JBlue, please stay encouraged... it does absolutely get better. I wanted to share because I haven't come across many experiences in which people shared the not so nice side of things. Again, not to discourage anyone but I like to be prepared knowing all the possibilities. One thing I would encourage you to do is ask your practice if you can have phenergan for the nausea. It's the only thing that helped me. It will make you sleepy but if you're like me... you can use the rest right about now. I'm now able to get my fluids in along with 60 grams of protein (using the premier protein shakes). Once you start to get a little bit of you back... you realize you've got this!!! On another positive note... I weighed in for the first time today and I'm down 15lbs from my starting weight. Just a little something to make me smile! Hang in there... you're doing an awesome job!

Hi All! I'm one week out as well and was a bit hesitant to post my comment in hopes of not discouraging anyone. I'm choosing to share to say that it does get better... I had terrible gas pains the day of surgery which caused terrible chest pain. I had nausea that required additional treatment outside of what they normally prescribe. While in-house I was not able to drink any liquids because I just couldn't tolerate them. Once I got home it wasn't any better and on top of it, weakness set in. I also was not able to stand the smell of food, it made me horribly nauseous. Today is the first day I feel somewhat back to my usual self. But again, saying all that to say I wanted to give a fair picture of my experience, but also know that it gets better! It's only uphill from here! Good luck to everyone!
