I had mine the 9th and am doing good. I'm down a total 15lbs since surgery and 20 since pre-op. I will admit cooking for my family has been a real struggle for me being on full liquids even tho I know I'm eating what I'm suppose to I still want to pick at what I'm cooking them [emoji31] I'm so sick of liquids I'm hoping starting pureed today will help a little. How are you?

Hi there. I’m doing ok. Struggling a little with emotions but ok otherwise. Down about 30 lbs total since pre op diet. Started purée. Tolerating it. Yes. It’s very difficult cooking for the family and being involved with their meals when we can’t eat the same. It’s been an emotional roller coaster for me. I get really down but I know what the end result will be if I stick to the plan and I will lose my weight. Keep in touch.

Thank you. I'm hoping I do good with pureed foods. The only thing I'm really worried about is getting bored. I see my nutritionist tomorrow so I'm hoping he can give me some ideas or recipes. I also have been an emotion rollercoaster but I was told by my surgeons nurse that is to be expected because our hormones are going crazy right now. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

I hope you have a good nutritionist visit. Yes. Some crafty recipes will make the puréed stage more tolerable. Yes. We’re gonna have ups and downs. Just have to keep focused. Good luck and please keep in touch.

I am concerned about the same thing. (Surgery tomorrow) Worried that I might end up in a "dark place" afterwards. However, I have been reading and researching about this and it is all NORMAL. Your body has just gone through a traumatic experience and needs time to heal - as well as your head! I assume that as time goes by your body gets adjusted, and as you advance your diet, you feel more at ease. Try to not feel overwhelmed and take it slow. One day at a time. Be easy on yourself - you just mage a huge, life changing decisioning to become the best you possible. You should congratulate yourself for that!! Now.....only hope to follow my own advice :-)

It’s a major adjustment. You’ll do just fine. Think positive.

Am bored with the Protein Shakes and wish to move on to applesauce stage. But I dare not to protect the staple line. Was so hungry Day 6 post-op but Day 7 is better. Put Protein in my Decaf and that helped also. Will try other broth Soups too. Still need daily naps, have occasional pains around incision points but can't complain. Swelling is going down and i have returned to SW now, so hope to see weight loss in ernest from now on. Keep increasing Water each day - up to 40 oz yesterday and 60g protein.
