Happy to hear you are feeling so well. Since its fresh in your mind, how did switching from clear to all liquids to purée go?? How has everything gone? I hope I feel as good as you.

I just had yogurt and cottage cheese so far, smooth sailing so far. The baby spoons help a lot. I was a huge food guzzler.

I'm wondering... How did your first week post op go? I'm 3 days out and I'm struggling so much.

I hear and see so many different stories that i guess I'm just reaching for some hope right about now!

Weeks 1 clear

Weeks 2-3 full liquids

Weeks 3,4,5 of puree

My phase 3 is called puree/soft and is strict, no vegetables, fruit and no Soups. It is suppose to last 6-8 weeks. It is extreme boring and hard. I found the real mushie and soft foods easy like eggs, hummas, refried Beans. Anything of substance whether I blenderize or use my teeth totally exhausting such as chicken or fish. My tummy can tolerate but no more than an ounce or two. Depending on Protein shakes to help me meet my daily requirements

Keep the faith. My first couple of days sucked - I was nauseous and sore - but I wasn't miserable - keep your eye on the prize and move, even if you are moving slowly.

I stayed in the hospital 3 nights because of nausea and vomiting - once I went home I ditched the pain meds and the nausea went away. I'd rather deal with sore than nauseous so it's a trade off that works for me.

I'm 10 days out now and doing ok. Still some pain in the muscle under one incision but I feel like it's days are numbered.

Great things are ahead for us!

I was sleeved 8/30 and have been very happy so far. I have been working on getting my Protein and Water up. So far I'm getting about 45 grams Protein and 40 oz Water. I can definite tell when I take too big of a sip I will feel a really big bubble in my tummy. What are you struggling with???

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
