Wow things got a little touchy touchy on this board, but to the original post, I was on clear liquids 1 week post op and regular liquids for week 2 and then week 3 soft/puréed foods. I am going to admit that instead of waiting the full 2 weeks, I started soft solids a couple of days before my 2 weeks were up. I was away for the weekend and went out to a restaurant. It went down fine but I felt very guilty afterwards. I've been in my 3rd week since Wednesday and have been at a stall not losing a pound, and a part of me is feeling so mad at myself thinking it was starting softs a couple days early, did that hurt me? Did that stretch my stomach already? Did I just do all of this for nothing? Then I called my doc and he explained to me that it's fine, I didn't hurt anything, and that since I started solids my body is adjusting and a stall in week 3 is normal... What I'm getting at is none of us are perfect, you did what you did so now you should call the doc and see if u can continue your soft foods or ask him where to go from there!! You have it in you to do this, I believe we all do!!! It's nice to come on here and see other people experiences but when push comes to shove, we are all different and deal with things differently!! So really my advice is call your doc and see where you should go from here!!!! I'm sure you'll end up doing awesome!!! I hope I do also!!!

Surgery yesterday went very well, I only felt
Crappy the first hour after I got to recovery and woke up, then slept rest of day cause of pain Meds, this morning I feel good, just sore when I take deep breaths in, gonna get up n walk today, n finally have some fluids after I go for my upper GI test this morning. My mouth n throat are so dry!!! And doc said prob go home this afternoon!! So happy I did this, now the rest is up to me, but I don't feel hungry at all, when I came in I was starving!!!

Wow one more day!!!! I couldn't sleep last night at all, forget about sleeping tonight!!! I've been reading some other threads of people who cheated during the pre op diet and they did fine so I am hoping that's the case here. After all liquids yesterday I am feeling a little better cause I lost another 3 pounds in one day, I know it's all water but hopefully that water is cleaning me out and shrinking my liver . I am so excited for all of us though!!! Can't wait to update you all post op!!! Positive thoughts from now till tomorrow, I don't have a time yet, the hospital will call me after 3 today with a time to arrive tomorrow. I hope it's early so I can just get this over with!!!! One more day!!!! Yayy!!!!!!
