I did the first few weeks but it has simmered down. If I try new foods that don't sit well, it can bubble up again. Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Each person is different and will have different experiences. I'm six weeks out and 55 lbs down! My U of M doc is just fine with my progess. I started walking 10K steps every day three days after surgery and haven't looked back. I get my protein and food in. Celebrate success and share in the joy!

Thank you. My surgeon is Jonathan Finks with University of Michigan. His entire team is terrific! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

I packed comfy jammies & slippers, a toothbrush & paste, and my phone charger. I brought a couple of protein packs in case I needed them, but really didn't. I slept the first day, and was in/out the second day due to the meds. I had tomato soup and mashed potatoes for when I got home, and purchased a strainer for the soups. Best of luck to you! You got this!

How are you feeling now?

Best of luck Julbug! You got this!!! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm almost 4 weeks post op and was on full liquids for two weeks and purees for two weeks. I move to soft foods on Wed! I enjoyed tomato soup and thinned mashed potatoes my first two weeks and then eggs (egg salad), low fat string cheese and even baby foods (variety) these past two weeks. I find if I stay active each day I don't think about food too much. One thing I had to learn - food only has has meaning and value if you allow it to do so. It was a mindset change for me that worked. 42 lbs down since my journey started on 5/17 with pre-op. Hang in there, it does get easier! Sent from my LG-TP450 using BariatricPal mobile app
