First doc appt yesterday, all is well. Down 15lbs since start of liquids. Got the ok for purée. Now having my first scrambled egg. So comforting to have a warm solid! Took me 15 minutes to eat it. Hope everyone is feeling well!

Patient of Dr. Sommers @ Hudson Valley Hospital. This is week one of post op for me. So far so good, sore throat from incubation is the most uncomfortable element. Belly button pain is minimal. Really enjoy reading about everyone's journey. YouTube videos and forums have been such a great tool!

Give yourself a break--this is a pretty normal reaction. We have all had buyer's remorse at the beginning but that definitely goes away as the weight comes off and you really start to lose your comorbidities and you can start to do things you haven't done in years.
THrow the cinnamon pastry away!!! If you are going to try solid food, it can't be that!! Follow the plan, follow the doctors orders and you will soon start to wish you had done this sooner!!!
You are having a normal reaction at the normal time and it will pass. Best of luck and enjoy your journey!!

So I had my surgery on 03/19/15. Since, I have had this feeling that I did something stupid. I keep asking myself why I would make myself miserable and have my anatomy changed and cause myself pain. I psychologically want food, but physically can't handle it. I am on the liquid diet but my dumb ass tried to see if could could eat solid food. I took a bite of a Cinnamon pastry. Holy hell did I ever feel like puking. Thank god I didn't because the thought of putting pressure on my abdomen is unfathomable to me right now. Shouldn't I be happy I did this??

I wish I could show you the future. I had surgery in September, and I promise, you will feel normal again. Follow your team's plan to the letter is the key to success. Your mind and body will catch up with each other.
I wish you the very best of luck!
