Yep!! Same happened to me as well!! After the 3rd week it picked back up. Try not to look at the scale!!

Good Luck!!!!

How did you feel? I have had some mashed potatoes. I’ve slowed down which my bariatric coordinator told me to do. But I don’t know if it’s bc of being on liquids for the past month, and it’s getting to me. I’m ready to go to the puréed stage. But I’m nervous and don’t want to over do it. But I understand about feeling like you’ve failed. How many days post op are you. Can you possibly go to the puréed? I’m ready to try this ricotta bake. However, I will say I didn’t feel that great after eating mashed sweet potato tonight. And I had about 2oz

I do take small sips and I try to take them frequently too. I emailed my bari coordinator and she told me I was going too fast. But what I’m not understanding is that she said 4 to 5oz per hour. But meals should take a 1/2 hour to eat. Well is my protein shake a meal? Or is it supposed to take me 2 hours. She said that I need to create satiety. I agree i definitely don’t want to strain or stretch it. Im not one to really swell a lot so that is possible as well. I felt swollen the first 2 days. And now it feels normal. Im hoping that i feel full when I switch to the puréed stage!!

Thanks so much!! It’s a relief hearing everyone else!!

Thanks!! My mom actually tried to tell me that too that maybe it will come when I could actually eat regular food instead of all this liquid! I never thought I would be so excited for eggs!! 😂

True. Lol like 4oz. Thanks for the encouragement!! I’m trying!!

Hey everyone!! I had mine done on the 20th. I need some advice. (I hope everyone feels better soon that’s not feeling well from their surgery ). So my issue is that I’m not having any issues with the amount of fluids or protein to get in. In fact I’m feeling hungry. I was supposed to be on clear liquids for a week post op. But I transitioned to full liquids today. And I’m still not having any issues. I get between 50 and 60 oz of fluid in per day. I could drink a full 11oz bottle of premier protein within a half hour. I also had about 4oz of vanilla sf pudding within 10 mins. Is anyone else having this issue? I’m thinking to myself like did my doctor forget to cut it all out. 🤣. Now I’m worried that this isn’t going to work for me. I am feeling super frustrated right now. But trying to remain positive.

Hey. How are you feeling? I was done today as well. A little sore. I had to do the overnight stay so I’m in my bed right now. Have a bit of a headache that doesn’t want to quit. And these gas pains are terrible. Overall not to bad.

good luck!!! Let us know how it goes!! Mine is tomorrow so I’m getting all the nervousness already!!!

Good luck!!! And good luck to everyone going today. Y’all keep us posted!!!

I waited until last minute. But I’ve been trying to mentally prepare by looking at stuff and making a list of things I could have. Good luck to you as well!! I will you as well!!

Omg I am so sorry. Prayers for you and your family.

I’m on the food parade too!! My surgery is July 20th and my liquid diet starts the 6th. So I’m having my favorite foods and bc I will be on a soft or puréed diet for my 40th bday we are celebrating with a cake this weekend. However going shopping for my liquids is going to be a reality check I’m sure!!!

Hi!!! I am also scheduled for July 20th. Done with all of my pre op requirements. Waiting on insurance now!! Starting liquids on July 6th. Excited and nervous!!

Had my last doctors appt this morning. All done besides the endo!! Which is next week. But now the surgeon is backed up until July or august I was hoping to be a part of the June surgeries. Good luck to everyone!!

Hi everyone!! I am hoping for a June surgery date. Had my last nutrition appt last Wednesday. Appt with the surgeon this Friday. Pre op testing on Monday. (So nervous about the pre op testing) then endoscopy next Thursday. Fingers crossed I can add my surgery date soon!!

Hi. I’m still a newbie and going through the beginning steps. But if it helps you any my office gave me ensure and premier as samples and told me to start using using them now. And the just gave me a list of the different ones that are good.
