Today I am one week post op!!!! I feel great. I went back to work yesterday and that has been fine. My doctor released me to a full diet. Of course healthy diet but I don't have to do stages. Thank God!!! I really thought the recovery was gonna be so much harder. I know we all recover differently. I love being able to notice the changes already. When I would do a fad diet I never saw a change. I am so excited for this new life!!!

A week and half post-op. Go to see my surgeon in the morning. I've done really well other than some Constipation issues. I am getting my protien in every day in 2 shakes, but can't hold much more than that. I am on the soft diet stage 2 since Sunday, but can't get much down. No pain, just not much room. A couple of bites is all. If I weren't drinking my Protein I'd never get it in. I guess I will end up going through the stages like most sleevers.

If you don't have to go through the stages what are you currently eating?

I am eating whatever I want. By that I mean healthy. I was on clears for one week and then moved to regular food. I had tune for lunch and chilli for dinner. My doctor feels you will know what you can handle. His feeling is "God gave you teeth for a reason." Today for Breakfast I had a slice of ham, for lunch I will finish the tune from yesterday and for dinner I will be having taco flavored chicken.

Congratulations! You are LUCKY, I'm still on pureed foods. Hopefully only until next week. What I wouldn't give to be able to chew a meal. I guess it doesn't matter since I haven't been able to tolerate anything but liquids this week. Yummmm, taco flavored chicken :P .

Oh I wish I could eat whatever I want! I'm 3 weeks post op and got moved back to full liquids. Was vomiting up my mushes except for mashed potatoes. Boo for being back on Protein shakes! My nut wants me to try Isopure to help get my fluids and protein in. I'm currently in the hospital waiting to be released.

Amanda we have something in common I am three weeks out too. I just left my doctor because I was vomiting for the last three days and I was put back on liquids too. Liquids for one week, then she said I could try pureed the following week. Then based on my next appointment if I am better (on the 12th) I can move to soft foods slowly. She gave me a prescription for nausea. If that doesn’t help I may have to go in for another Endoscopy. I hope you feel better soon. I feel your pain :( .

      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.
