Hi there. I'm 10 days post op and I've just about had enough of liquid diet. I feel like I need some sort of food to just feel like I'm eating.

Could anyone tell me when they started eating things like mashed potatoes after their surgery please?

Nadia I'm 13 days post op. Mashed potatoes were added for me last week. Have you tried the sugar free popsicles? They help. I completely understand, I am so ready to chew something but we have to make sure that are stomachs can handle everything first.

I'll try that thank you. It's so right I feel like I need 2 chew and swallow any food ????. I am going to try yet again to get in touch with my dietitian tomorrow and see what she says.

Thank you very much for your help ????

my doc has me on full liquids first 3 weeks. I'm so sick of it too. I'm allowed yogurt and Soups etc. today was my first day back at work and I ordered a Soup from a local chinese restaurant (chicken and noodle soup) told them to hold the noodles, hold the chicken lol. just had the broth...it was heaven! so good. Mainly because it was different than what I've been eating at home (home made Soups i'm now sick of). i can't wait to have puree's and soft foods next week.

I feel exactly the same. I'm so sick of soup and I'm counting the days until I can eat lol. I know this is worth it but roll on puree food ????

      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.
