Does 2/15 count? Feeling much better. My doctor had me on Clear liquids for 3 days, then switch to full liquid. One week out he has me on puree. Next week I'm supposed to try soft foods. It's much faster than other schedules I've heard about, but so far, so good. Not having problems with the Water, probably because I easily drank 16-24 oz. of coffee plus Water each day pre-surgery. I was already a "sipper." Discovered my limit is 3 TBSP of pureed food. Anything more and I feel it.

Gained 5 pounds from the surgery. :angry: But that went away fairly quickly. By my scale, I've lost that plus another 5 pounds. My doctor's scale weighs 3 lbs. heavier than mine does. As far as they're concerned I've lost 2 lbs. Grrr. Oh, and I had my stitches out!

Hi Niya

I had mine on the 2nd Feb 2016, so just over 3 weeks ago. I live in London but I went to the Czech Republic to have it done. It was really good.

I struggled at first when I first came home with all the change and missing food but I'm now a lot happier and beginning to understand my new stomach!

I'm eating basically Soups, oats for Breakfast, humus , cottage cheese, fresh juices of fruits and veggies..

I'm not going to rush into normal food at all. I've lost 20 pounds so far ..

What about you? x

I had my surgery on the 16th. I'm feeling pretty good. Lost 15 pre op and am now down 21. My surgeon started me on full liquid diet on day two. I went back to work yesterday and should start soft foods next Wednesday. Hardest part so far is not being able to pick up my son.

Im on full liquids. Ahh lol. Cant wait for pureed food . I was in the hospital for 2 days after the surgery was really nauseous and in pain. I too gained weight while in the hospital. I gained 3 pounds. I guess its from the IV fluids? ? But overall from start of preop diet til now i lost 17 pounds. Some pounds is better than no pounds so ill take 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.
