Surgery was completed yesterday and I'll be checking out in an hour. Surgery went well and no complications, although the overwhelming nausea is annoying. I'm struggling to get liquids so really need to stay focused on that.

I hope you're feeling better Staci. I was plain miserable yesterday but feel 100% better today. I'm up to 4oz of H2O an hour and will try a Protein shake soon. I am a little surprised by all the incisions on my belly, I feel like Frankenstein!! I have 6 total, 4 are about 1in long, others shorter. Can I ask how many you have? Thanks

I have 7.. the biggest one is where they removed my port about 1 to 2 inches long, I have staples too

I also had my surgery on the 28th. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I had my 2 week check up today, down 15lbs. I got the ok to start on the next phase of the diet, but it was a rough day. Tried turkey chili, got through about 4 spoonfuls at 1pm today and it is still sittin like a brick in my stomach. Trial and error for this next phase I guess. Unfortunately, I had only had a Protein Shake before that so I am really really low on both fluids and Protein today. But this full feeling is crazy!

Hope you're feeling better today. On my surgeons plan I have another 7 days of liquids before going to soft so am very jealous!! We do soft foods for 3 weeks before next transition - how long does yours last?

I am on phase 2 of my diet plan: full Liquid Protein diet... I get fat free creamed Soups, strained, and milk and Protein shakes.. I have come to really like the Muscle Milk, it has 25g of protein and lactose free, 3g sugar, but the calories are a little high of 220, but I try to just drink one a day. I am absolutely not having any problems. I get liquids down just fine, and have not had any issues drinking milk or eating Jello. Last night I even tried refried Beans, which I probably shouldn't have until my next phase of my diet, but not issues and after about 3 bites, I was very full, not too full that I wanted to vomit.. But I felt full, and it felt nice for the first time. I am down to 228.4.. I am so very excited, people at work are saying how I look like I am loosing weight, and my clothes are starting to feel loose.. great feelings guys.. It's been a very long time.. Good luck to you all... )

Oh I don't think I could have done another 7 days of liquids. I am on soft food for 2 weeks. It is harder then I expected. When you think your eating slow, slow down. That is going to be my thought for this next 2 weeks!
