Two to three weeks seems to be the average. I suggest three if you can or more. It is so much better to get your food straight at home. Good luck

Yes. I would stay with someone. I was for the most part ok especially since I had a recliner and bathroom on the same floor. I just know I was pretty weak and I was glad to just have someone there. Good luck

Lisa, way to go!!!

Ham is easier since there is less fat but can be dry. I'm going to nibble on Xmas and see. Good luck.

Cool! Thanks.

That's wonderful!!!

I don't know about free samples but bariatric pantry has sample packs that were great! Quick shipping.

Good luck to you!!! A year is not that long and you'll be blessed with a beautiful baby!! Congrats!!!

My surgery was 11/19. Not yet but taking new foods very slow at and at home first.

Good for you!!

Lol yea!!

Usually blood work, X-rays, upper GI, EKG, psych eval, nutrition counseling. I really depends on your dr. Good luck!

It's really trial and error. I'm on purée/soft food too and I just try a little bit and see how it sits. Good luck.

Good job!!! I'm happy for you!!!

I agree with all of you but one day I would like I be able to have one piece of pizza on rare occasions. :-). No I do not want to make a habit of it!!! I gave up bread/buns, pop, ice cream and alcohol for life. I cut a lot of carbs out years ago. However, I like the 300 calorie meal and 100 calorie snack rule. I just never ever want to be the eater I was before. I did this to help control my intake.

I'm doing roasted acorn or butternut squash. I put salt and pepper on it and roast it in the oven. Right before it is done I brush it with a little light butter and roast it a few more minutes. Really good and no sugar needed. The roasting brings out the flavors.

Awe Roxy, I'm so sorry to hear that. May things get easier for you! Hugs!

You are welcome. You all support me too. It feels good to not be alone even on my "crazy" days. Lol!

Lisa, wow. I sure hope the meds help. The neurotin is suppose to be great. Good luck

Ok posted to quick! I was a mess an I kept thinking what did it do! And I felt sorry for my hubby. You are right. Just keep thinking one day at a time and my life WILL be normal again but you'll be thinner!!!

It is hard to not have the "pity party" trust me!!! Also your hormones are out of whack right now.

Hang in there. In couple of weeks it gets easier!!!!

Yes it does!! I'm only a few weeks ahead of you and it's getting better. I felt the same way you did. It's ok. :-).

I've been eating water crackers chewed till there's nothing left. Only two mini's. II was really nauseated and they helped. I'm about 4 1/2 weeks out.

Special K has popcorn chips. They are really good. Just get the regular not the kettle Korn since its added sugar. No kernels!!!
