@@irishaggie No puree foods just straight to the soft foods at 2 weeks for up to 3 months. Not much longer, 2 weeks will be here Thurs.

I go from puree to soft on Thursday… Yay for us!

I had surgery last Thursday and I already asked abt foods for my bday Dec 3. I was told I'd be eating mashed potatoes and soft meats and veg.I'm on stage 2 until I see the dr Oct 29. This morning the scale was up 5pds compared to surgery day. Wth.

That totally happens, to all of us @kvoneye… i was 248 on SD and 252 on the day of my one week followup appt. It dropped fast though and will for you, too! I am two weeks post SD on Thursday and my weight is down to 239 :) It i normal, i promise :)

Fyi guys....for some reason Fiji Water seems to go down easier (almost seems thinner) then all others I have tried so far.

interesting… i drink smart water (Costco bulk!), but will give Fiji a shot :)

I'm 12 days post op and had my first weigh in since surgery on Saturday 10/17 (10 days post op) and I'm down 14lbs. I wasn't happy at first but I realize that I need to learn to appreciate any weight loss and need to quit letting the scale intimidate me or make me feel bad.

I am more than a number and that number does not define me!

Good morning........I had surgery 10.19 at 730-am and so far so good. I actually had a hernia repair as well. Pain is manageable and only really feel pain when getting up. I've been using the bathroom like crazy. I've walked 4 times that evening after surgery but had a hard time stay up...... Gas pains I don't know what that is lol makes me want to ask if they used it cuz I haven't had any lol. I do have a hacking thing going on cuz it feels like something is in my throat.

So I'll update as I feel more comfortable and up to it. Congratulations to the rest of you guys going in the rest of this week

Hello October family! I had surgery yesterday and it's been manageable. I threw up blood when I first woke but I haven't been sick since. I've walked the halls 3x but get tired and nauseated quickly. It's really not so bad. I'm sipping watered-down apple juice every 15 minutes and taking deep breaths on the hour. Thankfully my request for a private room went through so I feel comfortable alone in my room. Some of the smells in the hallway make me feel gross when I walk, but I suppose that's to be expected. Lol

Anyway, so far so good. ????

@@sweettooth2015 Glad you are doing well!! If you don't have any gas pains it should be pretty smooth sailing!!!

@@anewme2015 Glad your doing well as well!!! Did your doctor give you a patch for nausea for behind your ear before surgery? Mine did, just wondering if other's did. I only had nausea this whole time with my first sips of Water & Protein Drink.

      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.
