January 2025 Surgery Buddies!

when you say eggs, Beans, white fish etc, are you having them in puree form ? I am given paperwork that says until 2 months post op , its puree only , no solids. Is your paperwork the same?

I miss sausage rolls, and no I do know that they are made in hell, but I miss savory.

Two months?! No, my diet changes week to week. Second week after surgery, I started full liquids. Third week, pureed foods and things like Soup, yogurt, pudding, applesauce. Later this week I can start with soft foods: eggs, white fish, mashed Beans. The week after, I can try tuna, salmon, chicken, cooked veggies. The week after that, I can try beef and pork.

Every doctor has different post-op directions.

Very true. My biggest obstacle is my own impatience. I want to hurry up and get to real food, being so sick of Protein Shakes. I just started my soft phase, so thankfully I can now have eggs, Beans, white fish, cooked vegetables.

I just keep looking ahead to everything I will be able to do once some more weight comes off. I have also just booked a Mexican Riviera cruise for January 2026 to Celebrate the new me and my new life one year from my surgery. No more "rewarding" myself with unhealthy food choices, and instead I'll be rewarding myself with things that focus on my self-care. Like taking a cruise I'll be going by myself, but it's not the first time. I'm very excited. 😊

Melissa, great idea to have a big reward waiting down the road. That's great motivation to hang in there and persevere! I can relate to impatience and am sure many others do as well. Let's just all keep on keeping on!
