Two weeks out and I had a great martini Saturday night. Well half a martini to be honest but no issues at all. My instructions say no alcohol while taking pain meds and those were done day one.

Don't even give it a second thought. I'm only two weeks post op and it is already the greatest thing I've ever done!!!! I was discharged from the hospital eating puréed food and tonight I had a small bowl of hot and sour soup. My experience is different from others because I went from liquids to pureed food in one day. But I'd live on liquids for a year if I was told to do so. The benefits of this procedure are immeasurable.

How long post op for hot and sour soup?

I went to a baseball game last night, 4 days short of three weeks and it was fine. I brought cottage cheese and some yummy rice pudding while my skinny family gorged themselves on hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage and peppers and ice cream. And lots of beer and wine too!! I was perfectly content with my food . . . Content might be a little strong. I was ok with my non fun food but I kept telling myself that I've eaten enough fun food all my life and I'll have many more opportunities to eat like a human again.

Slow '80's movie clap . . .

So funny I read this post as I mixed, for the first time, a cup-o-noodles with my lentil soup. Five minutes down and do far so good

For the first time in my life is say WHEN I lose the weight instead of IF I lose the weight!!!! I'm giving anyone who will listen the entire amount!

Two days after surgery the hospital started me on puréed foods. I was told to stay on puréed diet until my first post op appointment mid-May. I couldn't get anything down the first few days but now i eat lentil and / or black bean soups everyday, yogurt, cream of wheat and protein shakes all day. I take in over 100 g of protein each day but I am concerned that I'm doing too much too soon.

I had my surgery on 4/23 and I was discharged on 4/25 eating puréed food already. I read so many posts however that most people stay on just liquids for weeks. I guess every surgeon has a different plan. Anybody else eating so soon after? I definitely didn't desire ANY food until yesterday. Now I'm hungry all day and I want to eat a pizza . The thought of pureeig a pizza makes me not want one so fast!!!
