I can start having creamy soups in two days. Can I just make potato soup, but healthier? Is it ok to have salt and pepper and onions in it?

I did the same the thing. I am now two months out an have lost 50 pounds and a whole shoe size!

I see so many of us are allow to eat many different things as the same stage post-op. I am 8 days post-op and would like to know what ya'll are/were allow to eat this week? I am only allowed clear fluids till day 10. Then I can try Diet V8, milk, yogurt, pudding,cream soups, and apple sauce.

One month has flown by and I had my big weigh in at the doctors office, which I was excited to see what it would say. I am at 202 from 235! In one month I lost 33 pounds and have went down a size in pants and 1/2 a shoe size. I also was wearing a 2XL to now wearing some L. So glad I had this life changing surgery!

Just wondered everyone get the same size tummy after surgery? Do they decide per person or do they have a tool that is a guide for the doctors to use on anyone?

I had them about a week ago. Did fine with them and eating more for supper tonight. Surgery June 3rd. I say go for it. If worried about about the seeds just cut it thin and pick around them

I was told the same thing, but have drank through one (didn't mean to, forgot) and didn't notice a difference.

For the life of me I cannot get all my fluids or all my protein in, in a day! I have been trying and came close a few times, but never all the way there. Anyone else having this problem?

When you are sitting around and you think I want something to eat and go get it, but knowing that you were not really hungry (stomach wise)! Also, you have a few bites left in your plate and you are so full, but your brain says, oh it is only a few bites go ahead and eat it!

I HATE protein! It makes me sick to my stomach, also! I found one shake that I can take, but it takes all day to try and get it down. It is premier protein, I got it at Sam's and it has 30 g. I am able to eat yogurt now. The best one so far is Dannon Light and fit GREEK. They have strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla. They have 80 cals. and 12g of protein. I eat 3 a day right now to get my amount of protein. Much better then the shakes and powder.

I am taking this time (early stages) to show food who is boss! I sit and eat every night with my hubby for supper. I cook him whatever he wants and eat my yogurt or whichever I pick within my doctors orders. Don't hide from food! I think if you don't do this now you will end up eating the things that got you to this point.

Lost 20 pounds since June 3rd surgery date. Can tell alittle in my clothes. I am staying hungry about every 2 hours!

Decided to go to ER for fluids since the doctor said it would help my lightheadedness. I got fluids and was sent home. I am back home and still lightheaded. Am drinking as much as I can and it is not helping. I hope it goes away and I will not have to call the doctor back.

I am from Franklinton and had my surgery with Dr. Redmann in Covington on June 3rd 2013. I am down 20 pounds so far.

I am eating greek yogurt with a baby spoon RIGHT NOW!

Mine has gotten better. I was worried it was a hernia. I have a 13 month old daughter and thought I may have been picking her up too much.
