Has anyone been able to eat solids on week 2 or 3. I have mostly liquids but sometimes I'll have an egg or a tiny piece or chicken or the soft vegetables from Soup. Also has anyone gained during their time of the month??

Let you body lead you in this. My surgeon has a schedule for patients to follow, I tried it but my body was not ready so I returned to liquids for an additional week. After that everything was fine.

And yes you can/may gain sure the time of the month. It should fall right back off once it's over.

I haven't gain during my period, but I did hit a stall.

Nto sure what your surgeon says but you shouldn't be eating solid food at 3 weeks. At this point I was on pureed. Don't risk harm to your tummy healing, stick with your pureed at this stage.

I haven't even started solid food yet and I am almost 5 weeks post op. It was 2 days Clear Liquids, then full liquids for 11 days, pureed for week and a half, soft moist foods (what I'm doing right now). and then in 3 days I get to start full foods.

I say follow your doc orders but its not uncommon to be on soft to solid food at three weeks I kno ppl who's diet progress fast you can't go on what others say cause docs have rules for their patients but its about listening to your body my doc said that I could advance as long as I was able to tolerate what I eat and just take my time do it very slow one food at a time so I'm 6 weeks tomorrow I'm on some solids and soft but I tried beef roast had no problem it was very tender I could only eat about a oz of that

      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.
