Hi everyone, so this afternoon was my 1 week post op appt. I'm down 17lbs from day of surgery. I feel good- I was excited about my new food list, went shopping came home and now I'm scared to eat lol. Haven't had food food in week and 2 days. Just thinking out loud... So week one down!

These docs are so different, I was on Clear liquids for a week, now in week two I'm in the full liquid stage. Next week I start purée food and that last for 4 weeks.

I get queasy on Water and my Protein shakes, can't imagine what the purée will do to me. So like u are now, I'm gonna be afraid to eat.

Thanks! yeah I guess all docs are different, in the hospital I was clear liquid (2 days) the 3rd day when discharged I was on full liquids for a week & today I got all fish, mash potato, all cheese, Apple sause.... I mean my list is a good size. Just ate mash with cheese I ate like 3 small bites and that was enough. Let's see how tomorrow goes. I'm still scared... It's all new to my egg size stomach

Do you mix it up? Different soups? Different stuff with yogurt? cheese? I guess that's why I was super excited to get this list because I was burnt out on just Soup, Jello ect. But 4 months post op and ur still doing that must work for ya! Thank you- going to hang in there too!

I have a good book called "Body for Life" by Bill Phillips.

I'm on fluids at the moment, puree for two weeks from wednesday. Will follow his foods when I can.

PS 11 days post op..
