Im 14 days post op. I am down 22lbs. But I am not eating anything but 1/4 cup of puree vege soup daily and a little water. I stopped taking my vitamins because I started gagging and throwing up when taking them. I went to work for the first day today and I had to leave early because I am so weak. I know this is self inflicted. Can someone tell me the foods they ate during the puree stage?

Im 3 days post op!!!! I made it~~ It was definitely an experience. I am finding it hard to get the water down. I get all my protein and vitamins and pain meds but the water.....it seems to hurt more when I sip it. I am already walking 2 miles per day, which is 4 times around my neighborhood block. My surgeon says he wants me to do that 5-7 days a week forever. It really is enjoyable. Im meeting alot of my neighbors for the first time eventhough I have lived here for 6 years. tty soon

Thank you! I called my doctor and he said he does want me to drop as much as possible before I come in for the pre-op visit. He said my surgery could be as early as Monday so I have been doing the liquid diet and exercising. Thank you everyone for your advice! Sarah -
