just wanted to share a non scale victory moment with you guys...
I love taking bubble baths... when my world slows down and I can take a moment...
usually once the bath is over... and I unplug the tub... all the Water in front of me goes out... when I get up there is more water behind me...
when I stood up to get out the bath tonight... there was NO WATER! I didn't dam up the tub!!
weird I know... but it felt good!

I'm five months out. It gets better. You'll need to take smaller bites/ swallows for now. Give it time. Don't push it. You've got a new tiny stomach. Treat it like a baby.

I noticed during my bubble bath tonight, that it took less Water to cover me. No need to fill the huge tub.

Again, every Dr is different. I was on clear liquids for 3 days then to protien shakes and protien Soups thru week 1. Week 1-2 I implemented the "slip and Slide" diet which includes anything that will slide off a plate...cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, applesauce. I am also eating refried Beans with lowfat cheese melted on top. My Dr also does not require a pureed stage. He said "thats what your teeth are for"! He did say to start with fish before chicken or meat. The fish will go down easier the chicken can bind at first. So, starting tomorrow I can start eating regular food and chew,chew,chew!

Like DeeDee said...there is a difference in dr's, & some have given a "never again" list. I didn't have all the stages you listed, I also had no pre-op diet...just liquid diet the day before surgery. I was released to eat reg food at week 2! I have had no issues at all with eating anything. I also wasn't given a "never" list...my dr said "try it..if it makes you hurt or feel bad...don't do it!" simple as that. Now...with that said, I think you should follow YOUR dr's advice...not mine or anyone else's....do as yours says & you will get better!

I think every doctor and nutritionist have different guidelines... I am back on regular foods... and seriously... there is no "allowed" list... or "not allowed" list... For me... I work to eat healthy foods... to eat Protein rich foods... I walk... dance... use my dumbells and strength bands to work out... and I am STILL a slow loser...
My advice... talk to your doctor and find out what he thinks... then do what works for YOU!

I think it is a mix. I imagine that not everyone is compliant 100% and there is a definite variety in stages, foods allowed and the speed that people go thru stages. Peanut Butter is on my no list all together (not that I necessarily think anything is wrong with it, but just to show that even between us there is a difference) I think it is about trying to be compliant, and getting in your Protein. Talk to your Dr./NUT and see what works for you.

I LOVE THIS!!!
Thank you for putting it all in perspective!!

yeah... band size is smaller, cup size bigger... gonna need to be measured again... spilling out again... *sigh*
I guess there are worse problems...

You're losing five pounds a week, so just get a little perspective . It didn't come on overnight, it won't leave overnight. You're losing nearly a pound a day, so I don't think you should worry.

I usually buy jeans or a shirt that are to small so I can work on eventually fitting into them. Well, today I bought a pair of capris in hopes that they will fit by summer. I bought a size 8. I got home and tried them on to see how small they were and they FIT comfortably too! I haven't been that size since middle school.....actually I think I skipped size 8 in my sleep in 7th grade lol. love my sleeve!

I packed a bag but used nothing but my phone charger and the gas x strips... the hospital provided so much stuff that I forgot I'd packed it...

ME TOOOOOO!!!

I LOVE THIS!!!
