Hello Everyone! I officially started down my new road to health on March 25, 2013- NJ Bariatric Center -Dr. Angela Glassnap (formerly Dr. Jack) was my surgeon. So far luckily everything seems to be going as well as expected, especially for the changes made to my body. I think the hardest part for me during the day of and day after surgery was missing my (3) best friends (dogs) while in the hospital…lol!

My 1st week post-op follow-up doctor appointment put me down 15lbs, I love it. I’m currently on what my doctor calls Stage 2 – Soft Foods. I am having a little bit of a hard time with that because I don’t like any type of fish (gag reflex kicks in) other than shellfish (not sure if I can have shellfish) and fish is one of the main Proteins listed. I have had egg whites in the morning with a pinch of cheese (couldn’t hack them without) also tried refried Beans on 4 crackers yesterday and they seemed to go down ok. I make sure slowly throughout the day that I have (2) Premier shakes so I at least get a minimum of 60g of Protein (not including the few proteins from the 1/4c eggs) daily still. It also makes things easier since I went back to work on week 2, so far so good. I do have to say my biggest problem is slowing down and not drinking during eating. I’m working on that though, somebody posted an App “Eat Slow” and I’m going to try it this evening.

Thanks for letting me tell a little bit of my experience…I wish everyone that has had March Surgeries the best of luck.

I do have a question if anyone could help…Can I have Egg Drop or Hot N Sour Soup form a Chinese restaurant at this stage? I have seen a few debates back and forth and I was wonder what others thoughts are.

you can def have those soups!! Soft stage also includes, shrimp, (yes on the shellfish), chicken, cheese, canned fruits, greek yogurt...you have a lot of options!

I had egg drop soup once during my second week post op, but I was careful to eat as little of the egg as possible. It was good and really hit the spot as a type of comfort food.

I had my surgery on march 29th, so only about a week and a half after you! I think I entered the stall phase (that's what I'm calling it) lol a few days ago. Hoping it doesn't last long. I'll see if I can add you to the group. Are you on YouTube? I started a vlog on there as vsgLulu.

Tyra - the Facebook page was something I created, but then people were concerned about the page being visible, so I deleted it. It takes 2 weeks to delete a page. I created a 'secret' group that people need to be invited to. I will invite you right now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
