So I had my surgery on 26th of April 2013. I stayed on liquids only for approx 3 and a half months (till mid august) because even just the smell of cooked food made me so nauseous. If I tried to eat I would just vomit after the second bite. In those 3.5 months though I did eat a lot of watermelon which I was very proud of. My consultant however didn't share my sentiments. He said "of course you can eat watermelon easily....it's mainly water!" Hehe So after the 3.5 months I started by eating scrambled egg. Just one a day mind you....couldn't handle much more than that. I'm eating a lot more variety of foods now but still have trouble with red meat. I absolutely love fish at the moment. Very moist and chewed heavily before swallowing. Also love eating soft chicken with salad. My salad of choice consists of just lettuce and cucumber with lots of lemon on top. Thank god I don't have problems with reflux and have heard from a lot of people that lettuce can be difficult but I love it!!!

Sorry also forgot to mention that I'm now 5 months post op and feeling great
