I had my surgery the 27th too, and I feel you one the shakes. I have grown to HATE them. I am not to "officially" start pureed food until tomorrow, but I ate refried beans last night, and felt 100% better! I also struggle to get my protein in so I can't wait to get to the eat the protein food stage. I am really scared to try any fruits at all, but would love a cracker..lol

I'm doing great physically, emotionally I am doing okay. I had a mini breakdown on here yesterday lol, but I am better today. I struggle with the protein and liquid intake, but I am going to push forward. i guess I just needed to hear everyone struggles and is blah sometime. I dont miss the junk food, I miss meat and salads. I know that I will get to eat it though in about 3 more weeks, but after yesterdays issue and everyone telling me I needed protein, I did eat a couple of spoonfuls of refried beans and felt 100% better. So now I know I have to have the protein. I prepared myself for this surgery, and knew it would be hard, I just needed to throw a little fit with people that understand and knew what I was going through..lol

I'm in Oklahoma. Bethany actually.. My surgery was March 27, in Norman with Dr. Lana Nelson.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

so what is the difference between what I am doing now to pureed? I was looking on the internet and to me there doesn't seem to be anything really. I don't regret my surgery but I am having issues with the whole different doctors do differnt things part .....

I am having trouble drinking/eating anything. I don't want it. I am only getting in 30g of protein a day and that is a complete struggle and the Water ... I am lucky if I get 32oz in. My goal protein is 60g a day.

Well I had surgery on the 27th of March. Everything went really well, my pain was minimal and my spirits were up. As of today I am not dealing well. I am sick of soup and shakes, but i get to move up to Pureed food on Thursday, but what difference is that? I am tired of not being able to eat dinner with my family (this is a big deal in my home, family time) and I am tired. I am walking and moving and I am already back to work. The past couple of days though I have felt dizziness. I am just at a blah stage and need something... I finally had to give in a buy some mashed potatoes from KFC just to have real food. I am struggling, and at the point I really don't want to eat, or drink anything except the water.. what can I do? Blah!!!

So can we have sugar free jello if we are on the liquid diet ..my surgery is Wednesday..

I'm not a 25th, but a 26th. I started my liquids today. I am so nervous and excited. Starting out at 5'3, 265. I know it's not going to be easy, but I really hope it's not as bad as some of the things I have read on here. I am fairly active so I hope that helps. good luck to you all I can't wait to hear and see pics.
