I know for me I only go about once a week. I called my doctor and he said that's normal because we are eating such a small portion of food it's gonna take the body a while to push out the old. I know. Sounds gross. BUT... You SHOULD call your doctor to make sure there isn't a bowel obstruction. Also, my doctor recommended Miralax. But defiantly call doctor and just left them know what's going on. I work in the medical field and patients call all the time with questions. That's what we're here for. Good luck!

I had my surgery 9/17 and I was 264 and 5'7" now I'm 228. I feel like its coming off so slow this last month I am getting discouraged. I would love to know how others are doing.

When was your first glass of wine?

I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm still in phase 3 (soft food) and I have a party to go to. Am I allowed to have a drink. I know not a beer because of the carbonation but what about like southern comfort n lime? Anyone know what I am able to have. Not looking to get drunk.

As anyone tried the Slim fast protein drink creamy chocolate? 15 grams of protein and only 190 calories. I'm interested but want to see how it taste. I can't drink too many protein drinks. Most taste like crap. anyone?

Does this happen this soon? I lost 28lbs in 2 1/2 weeks but I stopped loosing when I started purée. I'm not doing any protein shakes yet. My dr said its ok. Just heal but it's discouraging. I am still only having around 600 calories a day. Shouldn't I be losing with that alone? So frustrated. 2 weeks no weight loss

Had bow tie pasta today and I tolerated it well but I'm just wondering if that's part of a soft food diet? I'm on that stage but I was confused. It Sunday and my Nut is out of office til Monday.

I am almost 4 weeks post op. Call your doctor. I am not getting 4 ounces in and I fell nauseous a lot. I went to ER and I had pancreatitis and was dehydrated. You have to check on it. You had major surgery and there usually is complications with some people. Good luck

I cant stand my chewable vitamin and haven't started taking my calcium. I'm horrible with meds. Any suggestions on things that might not be bad to take. My dr said no chewy vitamins

Oh man! I was looking forward to that

Are you able to eat salad when your on purée or soft foods. Or even regular diet??? I forgot to ask my nutritionist.

How did you know you had a leak? In the hospital???

I was waiting for this phase also but after a week it sucks. Lol. I've been on it since last Monday. 6 more days to go.

I started last Monday. I have to do purée for 2 weeks. I don't do beans either. I suck. Lol.
