Hi guys!!! Did anyone have surgery on 12/23... That was my day, so I'm 4 days out, I've noticed I'm starting to GET HUNGRY, but it's hard for me to drink because it hurts, the pain is mostly gone, only when I use stomach muscles

I have found my heaven in soft foods! If you haven't, go to Pintrest and look for bariatric diet soft foods. I made the ricotta bake and loved it! It's like eating lasagna, albeit only the cheese layer. Warm, has flavour, texture! My only mistake was measuring out 3.5 oz, then sneaking one more bite. One more bite! I was in pain for hours. I've officially learned the exact capacity of my new stomach. Lol

2 weeks and 2 days post op. It feels like I had surgery a month ago, other than the scabs on my tummy [emoji4] I can drink Water no problem. Only thing that has really irritated my tummy so far is avocado. Almost gave me instant heart burn. I hope it's not permanent because I LOVE avocado. I've tried mozarella. olives. Cream cheese. eggs, scrambled and over medium. Colby/jack cheese. Egg salad. tuna salad. mayo with both. All have been fine. I do find that my taste for certain foods have definitely changed. I would really love to have some cooked meat and veggies. I might be trying out some crockpot chicken and veggies. Protein Shakes are basically gag-inducing at this point. I'm just glad that I am tolerating pretty much all foods so far.

Oh and I'm down 27 lbs from the start of my pre-op liquid diet [emoji4] so that's 4 weeks and 2 days ago!

I have been able to go to like grits apple sauce but it got boring I started the tuna section and tuna never tasted so good! I can tell I'm losing weight some pants that were TIGHT a few weeks ago now have some room in them don't have to squeeze to fit!

Look forward to this journey ready to hit the gym but just walking for now.
