When will I be able to eat like a normal meal.

I am two weeks post op. I'm soooooo tired of shakes and liquids. When will I be able to eat a normal meal like a regular human being.

depending on your program

week 6 or after you could see a normal if very small dinner plate in front of you

it could be a year or more before you eat enough not to draw attention from someone who does not know about the surgery

its a nice problem to have

hang in there it gets better

Define "normal". If you are expecting anything like what you used to eat, then no, you shouldn't ever be able to eat the way you used it, otherwise, why bother with the surgery?

That said, I fully understand being done with Protein Shakes and liquids only. Things do get better, you just have to wait it out. Best not to rush things and work within your instructions.

It does get better.
Stay Strong!

Normal takes on a new meaning.

You will be back to most regular foods by 6 weeks. And I think that most people just assume I eat less now, because not everyone knows about my WLS. I'm fully satisfied at the end of each meal, having eaten less than before.

It does get easier when your diet options open up. Just remember to take things slow at first, and try new foods at home.

I found out last week that you should try new things at home, especially the things on the list that your nutritionist gave you. I never had a problem with corn before...or milk...

liquids get old af, but before you know it you'll be eating a lot of the things you ate before, but hopefully with better choices.
