Doing good here. 2 weeks out so far so good. Get staples out tomorrow and on stage 3 of the diet.

I'm curious on recipes as well, just about to hit pureed

Yes, I'm thinking so though not sure to what. I have some flax seed I think I'll have to try it and see if it helps. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a constant feeling in my bumm of needing to go. .. I know TMI sorry lol

I have somewhat the opposite problem. Starting Friday (5 days post op) I started having the urge to poop with very little very solid results. Same with Saturday come Sunday I had 2 painful but successful BM'S and this morning officially one week post op have already had 2 good sized formed movement's. I'm very confused because I'm still strictly liquid for another week but I now constantly feel like I have to poop

Following as well. . Was told still no meat unfortunately

Well had my surgery yesterday and though there is alot of pain it's definitely manageable. I've been up and walking since 2 hrs after waking up which has definitely helped the chest pain. The only issue I've had is that the kitchen brought me a regular jello instead of sugar free luckily I noticed before I took a bite! Be sure to double check everything! Good luck to those having surgery coming up, I've heard of people having regrets right after, so far non here!

In the same boat here all liquid though. Lost 9 pounds and surgery is Monday. scared because I see people losing 15-20. Wishing for the best though. Good luck on Tuesday!

Monibaby18 I'm in the same boat as you. My surgeon never said how much he wanted me to lose. I lost 7 lbs I'm week one of my liquid diet but now it's at a stand still. My surgery is on the 16th and my insurance expires on the 29th. I've wanted this for years and this is my last chance for a long time. My worst fear is being opened up and them not doing it

That's awesome, glad to hear your doing good!

Brapril714, bren111015, ready2droppounds how are you guys doing? How did surgery go?

hcslvarado, I start with a protein shake in the am w 8 oz unsweetened almond milk if I have a "snack" before lunch time it's either sugar free jello or sugar free popsicle, lunch is generally beef broth or strained chicken noodle soup. Followed by a second shake for dinner. My nutritionist wants min 65 grams of protein a day and no less then 65 oz of fluids a day. It's very boring and bland I've heard of people putting unjury flavorless protein in there broth so they don't have to do just shakes ( I highly recommend because after day 3 of them I couldn't even stand the smell. ) unjury sells a sample pack on there website for $21 has multiple flavors. I was scared of the liquid diet as well, I have very little will power when it's come to my cravings in the past. I personally have to look at what the biggest thing I want to do after losing the weight is, for me that's getting married so I look up wedding dresses every craving I have. You guys will do great! Day 3 was my hardest is gotten a little easier every day since.
