SusieSouth 51 Posted November 29, 2016 wow. I like this list much better than mine, and how its detailed about how much to try at first. I was told not to start Protein until week two. Since I only have a day or two left, i'll wait. I miss mashed potatoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isalithe 44 Posted November 29, 2016 I am so jealous. I'm only allowed broth, jell-o, Popsicles, crystal light and protien powder mixed with Water for the first 3 weeks. My pre-op diet was the same for 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SamsungGalaxy using BariatricPal App Just liquids. I'm starting week 3 tomorrow, and I am finally allowed to start on some softer foods. I have tried mash potatoes, greek yogurt, and chicken, and Beans already. Happy to report it all went well. I can't have more than one teaspoon at a time though. Or else just like a little baby it gets stuck, and I may have to get it up again. (disgusting) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was so sick of mashed potatoes after week 2. I'm also so glad to be off the Protein shakes. I'm able to have 1/2 an egg, up to 1/4 cup of tuna, 1/4 - 1/2 piece of whole wheat toast or 1-2 crackers.

nishi3 1 Posted December 13, 2016 Does the surgery hurt? Thinking abt it but scared Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isalithe 44 Posted December 13, 2016 It does, but it's really not horrible. You get nice painkillers if you need them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JøAnna 34 Posted December 13, 2016 Does the surgery hurt? Thinking abt it but scared Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App In my opinion, the surgery felt like I had pulled muscles which were gone by day 4 post op. My surgeon doesn't rely on pain meds so I only had iv tylenol before going in and afterwards no pain meds at all. Not that I needed any. Only wish I was allowed something for the sore throat I had from the tube that was put in my throat during surgery. When I got home I only used ice packs for the large incision on my right side. Everyone experiences different pain tolerances though. But I think you should go for the surgery. Healthier lifestyle outweighs the small amount of surgery pain.
