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.

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!!!

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.

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.
